I hope you can find someone to do the treatment with your plans. Are you on any meds now?

I had ECT at 26 eight rounds over four weeks. It gave me fever dreams for a year! Very first time I was really forgetful but I was right as rain after the following ones.
I didn't sleep and just went about normal business.
I know from speaking to the nurses that it is known to lift depression that the medication fail to do with some people . I needed it at time as I had melancholic moods in the morning. I havent needed more. But If I had to have it in future, I know that there is no danger. Just bad dreams lol
