For my roommate I had at a clinic for six weeks, it was a MIRACLE. He e-mailed us a few weeks ago. After 30 years of depression ECT MADE HIM DEPRESSION FREE. He has a new life, and a renewed relationship with his wife. He goes to therapy now ever other week and takes a med. And has maintenance ECT every so often.

For me, ECT sucked. It was one of the darkest times of my life. I felt disoriented and had some memory problems. It helped the depression marginally. I couldn't imagine having to keep getting treatments. I had 11 done, and after that my veins were swollen from IV so they couldn't to the procedure any longer unless I had a "port" installed. I said "f" this.
