You have always been very kind and caring towards me and I am sorry if it seemed I was not here for you.

Before you started ECT were you weaned of any meds? I know it is common to so and it could seriously affect your depression levels. As far as the treatment itself goes it could very well be responsible for your depression as could the drugs given before and during the treatment. It is difficult to say for sure what caused it at this point.

I'm sorry I could not be of more help except to say "I love you lots dear and I do care".
I was weaned off of Lithium and Lamotrigine.... Neither seemed to be working for my depression so I'd be surprised of going off of them caused me to feel depressed, but you never know. I've had no appetite since I went off of them and am having a very hard time eating. I've lost about 13 lbs in the past few weeks.
