I don't recomend ECT, as a past user of it. I had probably 30 of them in 6 months. They did nothing good except make me forget everything I knew. 12 years later and I'm slowly getting pieces of my memory back. By the way ECT is very expensive. I've heard of prices like $20,000 each.
One thing I've thought about trying (but won't because I'm stable now) is Fluphenazine. It is very cheep in the US, about $20 a month. Its an old AP, that is supposed to be very powerfull. I currently take a simmilar one, perphenazine.
I do belive that if I took my meds before the ECT, I may not have needed the ECTs.
