Yes most doctor's will not prescribe off label use and because of liability issues.no doctor will prescribe me retigabine...or write me a script for it.
I read you can take matters in your own hands. This drug as available in Spain with no prescription needed. F#$% the norm! Fools on a parade! F U I won't do what you tell me! Rage against the machine baby.so we continue to suffer everyday........sucks for us!
6 MONTHS of relief?????
The reason is most likely the cost. A full round of sessions costs $15000. Medication is cheaper so insurances will make you jump through hoops to get TMS. It is cheaper for them to pay for meds. I have great PPO insurance at the moment so I think I am going to try to get TMS.somewhere I read that TMS is like a last resort for depression after medication ... This seems in my intuitive sense just rubbish advice ... too have the chance of a one time thing help you straight away for 6 months.. and being able to do it for 30-40 sessions (true fact) ... seems way better than popping pills that screw your whole system.

I am sure it was posted already, but how is this not bigger news? 50% of patients reported significant relief for up to six months after the treatment. Any news on what is happening with this?

A more recent study. Pretty close results as the first one.
