Hi all. Three weeks IP, 7 IP sessions of ECT. I’m going to continue outpatient for awhile. I’m still depressed and if they had done bilaterally right off the bat I bet I’d be less depressed already. But no, don’t listen to the patient.

I’ve forgotten a lot of things already. And my social worker never sent a note for work so I’m gonna have to call her and hope she calls me back.

I can’t remember what time I’m supposed to be at work. For some reason 8:20 sticks in my head but so does 8:00.

They did take me off most of my meds which is good. I’m down to lamictal haldol and seroquel for sleep. And cogentin but I’m not sure what for. It doesn’t help with the restlessness at all. I don’t remember if I had a tremor and that’s why I was on it or what. ECT really ****s up my memory. But hopefully it will work. It’s worked before.
