Thanks for the suggestion, Linkadge. I'll ask her pdoc if he's aware of this, if she doesn't respond soon to the regimen they're using.
On one hand, this pdoc does ECT; on the other hand, he says he doesn't recommend it very often. I agree with ECT as a last resort. And I worry that its effectiveness is being presented as a miracle cure here because the situation is so agitating-- when it may not work.
Time is a bit of the essence-- but I'm certainly going to ask about what other options they've considered. He seems willing to wait for the moment--
