it's a old treatment, and its a barbaric way to treat but still, maybe it could help, but yes i am aware of memory loss, and some cognitive change....the only horror feeling i have is being strapped down and being given a barbiturate to keep me from realizing im having a convulsion....it just creeps me out...but still maybe in a way it would help but the side effects are not somethign to look forward too.
maybe someone could post their experience, do you know anything more about the shock Jay? it's succerss in people, or the side effects, which yes is the memory and cognitive change....i just want to know if it could help, but still i can't have it done untill the meds don't work, which is already in the picture, my meds do work at times, and then at other they don't, leave me in tormented depression....i told my psychiatrist about the spiritual stuff that i think that the forces of darkness or the devil making me sick, she always asks about it, she increased my Lamictal to 400mgs, and she said they would move to 450mg's slowly to 500mg's, and the zyprexa to 30mg's, see that's alot, i'm controlled by high doses of lamotragine...she said it should help with the hyper agitated states....my diagnosis with her is schizoeffective, manic depression, and she says i need to take what she prescribes for it....
but, enough yak, do you think shock would help with the meds, just maybe 2-3 times....i would have to talk to my doctor about this issue im posting about my meds not working....
but anyways, it's ok if you don't know, i just wanted to know if there's any benefit of the shock
not a scholar but understand distress.....
