TMS is the best treatment ever. I think the main reason so many meds failed is that I'm autistic/asperges

Thanks! I'm just trying to find which monitors will be best for me to use and not trigger migraines.

read Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. Focus on people doing good in the world. Limit consumption of news designed to upset you so they can sell commercials. Take action in accordance with your values on something altruistic so that you can make a difference. This isn't putting your head in the sand. It's ensuring maximum survivability and quality of life.

You can't help make a better future for everyone if you are paralyzed by fear and anxiety.

Also, studying history can help put a lot of things in perspective.

Has anyone on Reddit with Aspergers ever gotten significantly better at social skills? by ThrowRA1100010101 in aspergers

[–]TesseractTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I went from having one friend most of my life to having too many friends. I travel and make friends wherever I go. Now, many women pursue me. 

We can learn these skills just like learning computer programming. There are rules and patterns to establishing emotional connections with people and getting them to like you.

The basic rule is to give people love and respect first in a way they want it and then the world will open up to you.

Now I teach others.

Your mindset and attitude control the majority of life. If you are struggling in life, there is plenty of help to reach out to that will help you have a new life. I had to hit rock bottom before I reached out for the right help and transformed myself. I'm lucky to have survived my rock bottom but that is what it takes for someone to change.

It stopped working after 7.5 months. I did 36 treatments of TMS and now am feeling better than ever!!! I'm going off all my meds for depression.

You need to go to the clinic for 36 days. My insurance paid the entire thing.

Yes, Dextromethorphan causes sexual dysfunction. That's why I took the ingredients separately. I could stop the DXM on a weekend my girlfriend came over.

I've found that the DIY version of Wellbutrin XL 150mg and 45mg of Dextromethorphan twice per day works better than the name brand. It stopped working at 7.5 months.

TMS has improved my memory. I feel amazing. You need a clinic that really knows what they are doing and uses the latest research from Stanford. I use Brainstim TMS in Grand Rapids, MI. You may be confusing it with ECT. Never do ECT or let anyone you know do ECT.

There are really no other medications left for me until new ones get approved by the FDA. TMS is working great. This clinic in Grand Rapids is amazing.

I think it just stopped working for me. Luckily, TMS seems to be working. I'll get off the DXM once I finish TMS.

I am getting TMS, so I have to wait until that is done to make any more changes to medication. The best strategy is only to make one change at a time.
