Hi,
I only had two treatments because at the time I had come off all medication and I was starting to feel even worse (the really bad anxiety and feeling generally awful was coming back not because of the ECT though) so I just wanted to get back onto medication again and I had this other idea that Nardil might help so wanted to get on that, which you can't do at the same time as ECT.
But ECT (unilateral) wasn't bad at all, when I came round from it, I was initially a bit disorientated but after an hour or so I was back to normal.
So don't be scared by ECT (unilateral anyway). I can't really comment on bilateral.
I would try it again definately, I've been thinking of trying to persuade my psychiatrist to let me go in for a proper course of treatments.
At the moment Zyprexa now and again helps but I want to feel recovered and permanently.
I'd have Deep Brain Stimulation if I didn't have Zyprexa.
