> oh god. :( i'm sorry. was this bitemporal, bifrontal or unilateral? what dose was it? have you tried taking an anticholinisterase inhibitor? i'm sorry if this is a stupid idea but i read a case report of donepezil coadmistered with ECT and absolutely no cognitive/memory impairment was experienced... maybe it could help after the fact?

I don't know what kind it was. AFAIK, the only thing I got with it was anesthesia, although once I got IV caffeine(!)> oh god, ive been thinking about ECT so much, but i don't think i'll find anyone who will give it to me. i really don't know if i care if i forget my whole life anymore, i'm sorry it had to happen to you. :( it always seems to happen like this.
There are some complete gaps in my memory and some hazy parts. I am also more forgetful and easily distracted. I've forgotten things I used to know, and I can't remember words when I'm talking.
