Anyone had ECT?

Posted by Randy Walker on July 17, 2006, at 14:05:55

I have had 2 ECT treatments, which is not enough to be effective--I am told it takes 3 to 5...but am worried about the effect on memory and just the general weird way was I was feeling afterward.... I am 45, have been on probably 25 different medications over the past 18 years. At the moment I am horrifically depressed and can't decided whether to continue with ECT...seems to be a crap shoot.... My docs took me off meds prior to ECT and hopefully I will feel at least somewhat better after I get back on them...
Any feedback from ECT veterans will be appreciated.
