Note: The following information does not replace personal medical advice from your doctor or a qualified health care professional. Please read our disclaimer. No. Unlike the research trials in the US, which require participants to cease all medication, MindCare Centres encourages you to stay on your regular dose of anti-depressant medication. Please do not make any changes 3 weeks prior to commencing rTMS therapy. This will enable you to distinguish the therapeutic benefit received from rTMS therapy. Following treatment: Please consult your doctor/psychiatrist regarding medication changes following treatment. If you want to stop taking medication, please wean off slowly, following your doctors direction. Do NOT suddenly stop taking medication.
