I'll reiterate and expand. I've had it before, it helped for depression and while I did experience memory loss during the 18 shocks I regained memory. The side effects I exeperienced from psych meds along with the arrogance and ignorance of my former prescriber keeping me on these meds and treating my body as a test site which is what gave me permanent myoclonic jerks is what's barbaric.
