Help! ECT has been recommended

Posted by Gerry S. on June 20, 2001, at 9:29:23

I am depressed. Over the past year I responded well to Remeron for 6 months. It wasn't great, so I thought we'd try another AD. In the past 6 months I have gone through Paxil, Luvox, and Serzone. The side effects of (e.g. crushing daytime anxiety on Paxil) outweighed the benefits.

My doctor has now suggested that the best option is ECT. My problem is that I am scared of AD's because they have beaten me down, so I don't feel strong to deal with another set of horrible side effects. On the other hand, ECT seems so extreme. Help me.
