I have been having ECT for 2 years, and it has saved my life. I still take medication but lately have been wondering whether I might start reducing some of them. I started out with a course of 12 treatments and have now continued with 1 treatment every 2 weeks. Everything has been done out patient. I have had no memory loss or cognitive problems and I go back to work right after the treatment. (your not supposed to drive but the anesthesia is so mild I have no problems).

I had ECT 40 years ago when I was a teenager and it did nothing for me but leave me with a large gap in my memory. With the advances in the way treatments are given this has been a whole new experience for me. A good experience!

Any questions just ask:-).
