I had such a massive headache after ECT yesterday. I usually get toradol before I go in but yesterday they didn’t give it to me until after I was asleep because the IV was in a small vein and it would have burned. But next time I’m going to say just give it to me know because I still have the headache. At least it’s only when I move my head.

I took a lot of seroquel yesterday. My head hurt so bad that I just wanted to sleep. So I took 100mg at 5pm then 100mg more with my regular night meds at 9pm. Then I woke up at midnight at couldn’t get back to sleep so I took another 100mg at 2:30am. Slept until 7:30am when I woke with a start because I had to enter my absences online for my job.

Because of the severity of my mood state the ECT dr recommended a mini series. Three this week then possibly transition to maintenance if I am feeling better. I’m not happy about it but I’m desperate. I need my life back.

I feel very on edge again today, like I could punch people in the face. My ECT dr wrote me out of work for the whole week which is probably best. I see both my therapist and my pdoc today. Hopefully my pdoc will listen about the agitation.
