In reply to any new drugs coming? Need hope, posted by karin on October 17, 2001, at 14:50:24
> Hi. I've tried almost every med there is, to no avail. I'm starting to give up hope, and am wondering if there are any new drugs/classes of meds that may be available any time soon. I suffer from major depression, and extreme anxiety/panic attacks. I'm a 34 yr. old female, have an MA, seemingly look just fine, but underneath it all am shaking with existential terror.

> So far my docs haven't been willing to consider ECT, and I'm scared shitless of it, so I'm not going to push the issue.I have had ECT done when my depression was in it's moderate period. It didn't seem to help, perhaps maybe a little. Aside from a lot of memory loss there has been nothing unpleasant about ECT. I fail to see what people are so afraid of. There is no confusion and other nonsence. You wake up after the treatment and everything is okay.
