> The main idea I got from the people I talked to was that it worked well in the short term, but most of them relapsed (without medications) to a state worse than prior. The people I talked to said they felt it was a big mistake because it had affected their jobs and their memories, and the thereaptutic effect against depression was only temporary. One guy said he didn't know who he was for about a month.

This is exactly why I refused ECT when it was recommended for me April 2005. My job depends on having a very good memory. I felt insulted that the doctor even suggested it and told him so; it would have meant me losing my job, and thus no insurance for all of the medical problems I had acquired all of a sudden and that were contributing factors to me being depressed. I just quit Parnate three weeks ago, and I can see it was helping some as I am now very depressed again. But as I did in the past; I plod on and go to work every day and do my job and get my work done even if I am not as efficient and it takes me 12 hours to do what I would normally do in eight hours. So, what to do; try yet another medication. There are also other things being tried now too--like the magnetic stimulation thing. I don't know much about it and if one takes medicaitions too along with it?? Has anyone tried this approach.
