I have done ECT weekly , for at least the passed 5 yrs. for a total of 175 times or so.... The ECT has helped put a paused in the loop tape of suicidal thoughts/urges. I tolerate the ECT very well and go to work right after I have the treatment.

The ECT has helped me a lot and I am so happy that my Pdoc has allowed me to have it as frequently as I do. I am being weaned off the meds I have been on for the passed 20 yrs, Abilify, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, and started on Emsam/selegiline patch. I will stay on the clozapine at bedtime. Hopefully this new combo will work magic:-).

Thank you for listening.
