Hiya good people, went to my doc on monday and they have decided to up the dose of my meds (venlafaxine xl 150 mg to 220 mg) if this doesnt work then they are going to change the meds altogether, if that doesnt work i face going into hospital for around 3 months and they mentioned ECT. They did point out that when you have ECT you lose your memory, my question is how much of your memory do you lose?? I dont want to lose all the happy things that have gone on in my life, like having my two sons and remembering their first smile. Can anyone explain exactly what ECT does to you without using technical terms as I am a ragged commoner!!! lol!! nah, its just hard to understand wot all the technicalities are. Any thoughts on receiving ECT would appreciated.

Lots of love and hugs from Tracylee on the Island of Mud (England)
