I just got back from my ECT and must say it was the roughest I've had in nearly 5 years of maintenance. As I was going under I couldn't breathe but my hands and feet were agitated and fluttering. I tried to speak to tell them that I couldn't breathe but I couldn't talk! I'm sure my hands got a little more frantic at that point. Apparently it was then that the anaesthesiologist gave me something additional in the mix going in my IV and it sent me into a deeper sleep. I know this because he came to talk to me after I woke up in Recovery.

After all that, I am feeling better.
