Hi,
Thanks for letting me know, yes I know the Maudsley clinic do it, they also do it in Scotland don't they?
Yes, have tried an Maoi (Nardil) and it didn't really help the depression although seemed to help the anxiety. Haven't tried stimulants as can't get anyone to prescribe them for me and I don't like the ideas of the ups and downs you get with them.
I just feel like although the antidepressants are helping, I still don't feel fully recovered and I suppose I'm just looking for something to blow it away (like a gun perhaps) :-(
I know ECT is only used as a last resort in the uk but I've been feeling like this for over three years now and you hear about people like Marthan Manning having it and she was still working and sort of functioning so not sure why somebody like me couldn't try it.
Anyway, thanks for getting back to me.
Denise
