I have to agree with bleauberry on everything said - I had ECt too and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. The memory loss is severe and not limited to short-term memories. Cognitive decline is also prevalent.

Try an MAOI if you haven't already. There are SOOO many med options even if you feel as though you've done them all. I'm surviving well on a combination of stimulant+SSRI+anti-psychotic. Adderall +Lexapro +Geodon. The addition of Geodon made all the difference and I've been treatment resistant for 17 years. I even had the VNS implant.

So please rethink your decision to go forth with ECT.

just my 2 cents.
