I have had treatments every 2 weeks, with a few courses (8-12 in a row), for the past 3 years. I have the treatment early in the morning and am able to go to work the same day. I receive ECT bilaterally. My memory loss is more the type where I forget something that happened a few months before. Not big stuff like weddings, etc. Just little things like calling a friend, seeing a show, etc.

The treatments have really helped my suicidal ideation, which was constant. I still have some breakthrough suicidal thoughts but have started a low dose of clozaril to help that. All in all I know it has saved my life a thousand times over.

Good luck to you.
