ECT did not help my depression. I was just as bad off with depression if not worse when I quit ECT. I got a different psychiatrist and quit the one who pushed the ECT in the first place. I was put on Parnate at a higher dose than I had been on in the past when it once worked with me. The psychiatrist who pushed the ECT was not willing to go up on the Parnate.
Re why I am not on meds now--well I was on Parnate for a year but also in therapy three times per week, and this was more curative than the meds. I am at a place now where I can manage my problems in therapy now without being on meds. Pure and simple.
I also take vitamins, B12 for example, and exercise everyday which the neurologist said was the best thing one could do for depression and/or to keep one's memory from getting worse.
