ECT Side Affects Versus Medication Side Affects?

Posted by Denise1966 on July 7, 2005, at 8:55:20

Hi,

I know that this is probably a loaded question but I've taken many different antidepressants over the last four years and the side affects of some of them has been almost worse than the depression itself. For instance Mirtazapine (also known as Zipsin and Remeron) made me feel either zombie like or really agitated and anxious. Nardil (phenelzine), made me feel like I wasn't in this world at all, I got awful start up anxiety on SSRIs and felt very dopey on Effexor.

Does ECT have the same side affects and do they last, I know that there can be memory problems which can be lasting but what about all the other side affects one can get with drugs. Does anyone have any experience of getting these side affects with ECT?


Thanks..........Denise
