In reply to Starting ECT -- any advice?, posted by cab on November 12, 2002, at 11:26:25
cab,
I don't know about Paxil or lithium, but I took parnate while having ECT, and afterwards, and had no problems with it. I had about 20 treatments spaced out over four months or so, and it helped me tremendously to overcome a near catatonic depression. Six months later I had a relapse, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the original, and overall, ECT seems to have helped me a great deal.
I'm glad you were able to talk to your doctor about what you needed, and just that you know you need help right now. Good luck with everything,
likelife
