> Thank you for this post. My Dr wants to do ECT and I've been worried about it. I took Lamictal generic and had a bad reaction to it. Made me much more depressed and affected my cognition functioning for the worse. I thought ECT might speed up my brain again after
i just wanted to add in case you are still suffering from your depression worsening from lamictal. ect was quickly miraculous for me twice when a geodon and an abilify trial sent me into hell. for some reason, ect has only seemed to help me when a drug trial throws me off the deep end. everyone is different. but i don't think it is ever used to improve or speed up cognition. it didn't seem to affect mine, but for others it has.
