I had a series of ECT over a two week period in a hospital in January. I think it "shocked" me out of my depression. I don't remember any of it but my friends and family tell me I experienced very very high degrees of anxiety during the treatment. I haven't had any problems with memory other than not being able to remember those two weeks. I did have a slight headache for about a month after the last treatment. Also, the first couple weeks out of the hospital were rather unstable....out of depression one day...low low mood the next....alternating sometimes...I guess meds (Lithium, Remeron, Effexor, Synthroid, Lorazepam)finally leveled me out. I guess if I ever got to the place of unbearable,unrelenting,
resisting, emotional pain I was in that made me consider ending my formerly happy life with two great kids, a great job, good friends, a wonderful church community, I'd do it again...Good luck friend. I'm sending healing thoughts your way now...
