I had a family gathering tonight and was talking to a cousin of mine that had the same pdoc as mine as was telling her of his opinion that I should get ECT. Well she said he did ECT on her and it was a disaster...she lost a big chunk of her life it didn't last but for a few weeks the lifting of her depression and she wouldn't recommend it to anyone. So now I am freaking out. I trust Julie and now scared. I have an appointment with my pdoc on the 31st and plan on making a list of things to talk about with him and this is going to be numero uno. Even if I don't decide to do it I'm still going to lose the weight because lord knows I could use it and heck it might help the mood. I just need to reassurance from those of you that have had positive experiences with the ECT.
