Hi there,

I've been through quite a few ECT treatments which have been very helpful to me mentally. I react badly to the anasthesia though, which causes nausea/vomiting for me, and because of this I'm quite afraid of getting treatment. In fact, if they can't figure out a solution I'll be stopping ECT today.

But if I WASN'T affected by the anasthesia, I'd get ECT done in a second. It's worked wonderfully for me.

Please give this some serious thought. As farmergirl said, there is always some risk, but it can also be a good solution to your mental health problems.
