i sort of agree. if i was offered ECT i would take it. i don't know how i screwed it up, i was going to have it done during an admission a year ago.
i am a parnate non-responder.
an maoi may be worth trying... as they can be fast acting apparently as linkadge says, but some people need monstrous dosages, and well, maybe i was one of them, but that whole plan stagnated with my doctor, and we're back to apathy central over a life not worth living.
have you tried an effexor+remeron combination, they are supposed to be extremely powerful together.
i guess its all about if your life now and for the last years is even worth coming back to. i don't imagine you would lose years, or even multiple months. (my guess not fro experience.) but at least in my case, if i could function like a normal human being, i wouldn't care if the last 8 years were erased. not to belittle others' grievances though...
