We decided not to continue ECT and instead continue with drugs (unless my symptoms worsen as a result of quitting).
I was wrong when I said I had seen no improvement at all from the ECT - before starting ECT I'd quit drinking, mostly quit eating, and I was more than a little psychotic (I believed there was an invisible hole in my chest). Nowadays I eat, drink, and though I still sense the hole in my chest, I know it isn't really there.
But no improvement in mood or activity levels, which sucks. The pdoc hopes that upon quitting the ECT some of the ECT's side effects will disappear and make me less zombie-like. (My dad is the one who compared me to a zombie, not me) And thereby improve my mood or something. I don't have all the facts straight in my head.
