Has anybody here tried this treatment? I asked my psychiatrist for it and next week I have a consultation meeting with my psychiatrist and the doctor who would perform it. They have already discussed the issue together and determined that I would be a good candidate for it. My psychiatrist started tapering my Effexor, which was at 225mg a day, to 75 mg a day. I have tried many medications from the SSRI and the SNRI class. None of them worked. My psychiatrist said that I could try some drugs from the MAOIs or the tricyclics, but I inquired about ECT. What have your experiences with ECT been like?
