Hello Crook32: Yes ECT scares me too. It was suggested to me quite a few years ago. I didn't do it then & I don't think I would do it now. On the other hand, I guess there are some people who have had good results from it. Perhaps some of them, here on PC, will reply to your post. I also participated in 1 day program , again, quite a few years ago now. I had a reasonably good experience. But, then, I had a fairly good (for me) pdoc. In fact, I still see him. He doesn't really do much for me. But he's easy-going & doesn't push me to do things I don't want to do (like ECT.) I also always have a few extra pills laying around. Somehow, I can just never quite bring myself to get rid of them even though I don't think I have enough of anything to do any serious damage. Somehow, it's still just a comfort knowing they're there.
