I did not regress to as low as I was. I was maybe a 0, went to a 10 with ECT, and regressed to a maybe a 5. I am wondering if I regressed so quickly because I started on another med (wondering if all meds now make me worse).
For most of my life I have been more dysthymic, the wrong meds made me major & I spent some time in the hospital (that was a year ago). Shortly afterward the hospital, I talked to a few people who had had positive experiences and decided I wanted ECT.
I have had unilateral.
Currently, my pdoc doesn't know what diagnosis to give me because I don't fit into any category. He has thought I might have some bipolar tendencies.
I am seriously currently considering going off meds and doing another series with maintenance.
Kitty Dukakis just wrote a book called 'Shock' that is really good.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I know it's a scary decision.
Take care
