I was desperate enough to try ECT when I was in the hospital. I had a bunch (lost count) of treatments, but the aftereffects get worse and worse. I'm out of the hospital now but still have three treatments to go. I talked them into writing me script for Vicodin, but after I got it home I discovered it had a warning about using it if you are taking an MAOI. I take 80 mg. of Marplan. (I think that is a high dose. I think I was taking less before I went into the hospital. One of the sides of ECT is that it messes with your memory.)
I have a vicious headache for the rest of the day after a treatment. Vicodin has the blissful effect of putting me right to sleep. I'd rather take it than Motrin, which has hardly any effect at all, but I'm worried about mixing it w/ Marplan. Has anyone mixed Vicodin with a high dose of an MAOI?
