Geezer,
Thanks for getting back to me, I really hope you continue to stay well.
Prior to having ECT, did you try antipsychotics prior to having ECT? I have one card up my sleeve which is Zyprexa (it's the only drug that has helped this time round) but it's not the card I want to play right now. There are people on this board that strongly disagree with taking antipsychotics for depression and I don't really feel right about taking them.
I just want the ADs to work like they used to and I was hoping that ECT might make them work again. My reasoning is that if I have ECT and it doestn't work then I can always go on the Zyprexa but my fear is that maybe even the Zyprexa won't work after having ECT. I just don't want to burn all of my bridges.
I know one can really say for sure how ECT will work but it would be reassuring to know that ECT doestn't stop drugs that have helped from helping at all.
