I remember she went in for some ECT which didn't go too well, and I havn't heard from her since.

She only had one or two sessions. She decided not to have any more because she wanted to try Nardil then Paxil again. I hope she is ok.

Last I heard, she had tried the Nardil followed by Paxil and wasn't getting a great response like she'd hoped for. She was managing to get by by taking 10mg Zyprexa once a week or so.

Hi Linkadge,
I'm still here (in body) anyway :-) Not sure where my brain is.
I've had to set up a new idea because I'm using a work laptop and can't remember my password. Not because of the ECT I might add.way
Anyway, I'm touched that you bothered to enquire about my whereabouts.
I've had a bad start to the year. Last year I only had two ECT treatments but stopped because I could feel myself going down because of not being on any medication, It didn't seem to affect my memory much because it was unilateral. So I just wanted to get on medication as soon as possible.
I tried the Nardil for a month and then a switch back to Seroxat but the Seroxat still didn't work as it had done before.
Since then my new psychiatrist (at my insistence) has added Buspar (just more tired), tegretal (no difference), thyroid no difference.
After Christmas I decided myself to reduce my Seroxat to 20mg and a week ago got my psychiatrist to agree to adding Mirtazapine 30mg. I've had a bad week, the anxiety is getting really bad and I'm having trouble functioning in this new job I've managed to get.
I'm seriously scared I'm going back to the way I was 4 years ago, I had to take a Zyprexa last night and have only just started to feel a bit calmer. I really don't know what I'm doing as far as meds go anymore, I don't know whether to increase my Seroxat to 40mg again or what to do.
I've had that strange detached (not really here)frantic feeling since being on Mirtazapine (Remeron) but don't want to give up on it just yet as I managed to conjole my Psychiatrist to let me try it with the Seroxat. My psychiatrist is getting fed up with me and I'm getting fed up with myself.
I keep thinking maybe I just need to up the dose of Remeron then I might get more of the good affects without the negative affects.
Sometimes it's so difficult to know what to do for the best.How are you?
Denise
