> I've been thinking about ECT. Though it seems to get a bad rap, top psychiatrists say it is the fastest most effective thing there is. I guess the main drawback is the high relapse rate without ongoing medication and/or ECT maintenance treatment. Critics say we don't know longterm consequences of ECT, as if longterm consequences of strange chemicals in the brain are supposedly not without harm.

I would be interested too in terms of memory loss. My job is such that I cannot afford to lose memory. I was recommended to do ECT a year ago and refused because of my job. I continue to be depressed on Parnate, something that worked in the past. And, I have had either drug reactions or adverse reacations to everything from Remoran to Cymbalta to Zoloft to Elavil to Ludiomil to you name it.
> Could you tell me more about ECT? When did you feel improvements? What kind of improvements? How's the memory loss? Does it cost a lot?
