Hi,
I hope you are ok.
I thought I'd already posted this question but I can't seem to find it. You said that you had ECT and it made your depression worse and your meds stopped working.
Can you tell me how it made your depression worse and which meds were you on that stopped working after you had ECT? Also, am I right in saying that you have bipolar disorder?
I've been offered the chance to have ECT and although it was me who pushed for it, I'm not doing too badly on Seroxat and Zyprexa (now and again). Life isn't great but at least I'm not in the depths of despair. I would like to give ECT a try just to see if it helps and if it doesn't work then at least I tried it and I know but I would hate it to make the depression worse and my meds stop working.
I'd really appreciate anything you can tell me.
Denise
