Hi Seb

ECT is performed following the injection of a short-acting, rapid-acting IV anesthetic to cause loss of consciousness.

>I've heard that at high enough doses it can put you to sleep.

Sleep......sometimes, anesthesia.....no.

>I'm sure thats what they said it was.

They probably gave you a dose of fentanyl (an opioid with morphine-like effects) before giving you the actual anesthetic. That's probably what they meant.

Take care

Ed
