Hi.

One thing I have decided now (based on my research) is that I would only ever consent to unilateral ECT, should I choose to go through with it. The memory risks with bilateral are just too great. I have ordered a book about ECT written by someone from Chicago (Abrams?): it's about as close as I'm going to get to Chicago for the time being. (Pity, I really enjoy Chicago.)

No, I have not tried Depakote. I am on the mood stabilizer/anti-convulsant Lamictal (ironic since I am considering having seizures purposefully inflicted on me). Based on my experience with Lamictal, they seem better than nothing but I don't like them much. Lamictal really flattens my emotions; I function but I do not get much pleasure from life. (BTW the benzos have a similar effect on me). Pretty much an Android's existence. I'd have to hear some pretty amazing things about Depakote to try it.
