Thanks so much for your replies guys. Just saw my pdoc and he is ceasing the ECT and putting me back on Lithium as it is the only drug that seems to stabilize me. He is also adding Risperdol to help with the agitation but I have never had it before so we'll see how that goes. (anyone had this med??) If I improve in the next few days I may be able to be discharged by the weekend but that is a big IF as I will have needed to improve significantly. I still have little hope but I am willing to wait this out to see if it all helps. Doing small things does help LilacLime so thanks for the reminder. It is hard being in hospital away from usual routine and distractions. So far I am hanging in there by a thread but at least I have a great deal of support around me and for that I am truly thankful. I doubt I could carry on without it.
