Yeah, people stay about 3-4 weeks when they get ECT where I go. Sometimes less and I'm sure sometimes more. If it becomes an option for me I'd need to be IP through as much of it as possible because the hospital is 2 hours away and I'd have to get someone to drive me that far 3 times per week for OP. I have no idea if it is an option but I want it on the table again. I have until the end of October to be re-admitted without another deductible and if something isn't effective as we near that time I want to do the drastic things then (ECT if it's an option would be one idea, going off Seroquel and starting clozaril the other). Both would mean being IP for a while. But it's time to talk about ECT and if there is any hope for it helping me. (I think last time it came up they felt my rapid cycling would interfere? something like that. And now I cycle a little less rapidly so maybe? The biggest thing would be that anesthesia is complicated on an MAOI and I've had one bad waking up from anesthesia experience but that was morphine, not really the anesthesia itself.)

Anything is worth a shot is my current stance of treatment.
