Anyone suffer memory loss from ECT?

I had ECT almost two years ago and while I was going through it, the doctor always asked me if I had memory loss. I didn't think so, but over the last two years, i have realized that there are things I can't recall. I don't remember my wedding, or most of my adult life other than some random flashes. I can't access the richness of any of my experiences. It is like everything has been dehydrated. There are holes everywhere and sometimes a family member or friend will talk about something we did together and I will have absolutely no memory of it. They could tell me something completely untrue and it would feel the same. I can't remember my youngest son's childhood. He is 7. I don't remember his first step, his first words... I don't remember too much of my oldest son's life either, just the early years. He is 13 now and I feel like I am missing about 10 years. I don't remember birthday parties, friends' weddings...

I know that I have improved in the last year because I have mostly clear memories of the last 14 months or so.

Does anyone else have this and are these memories gone forever?

I've had two rounds of ECT (36 treatments total) and had severe memory loss with both. I don't remember too much of high school or the first two years of dating my husband. Recently when I had it it has caused me to forget a lot from the last two years of teaching, as well as forget everyone's name from work, even the people I've been working with for awhile. My husband will tell me about things we've done in the past three years and I have no idea what he's talking about. I don't rememebr going on vacation - like I completely forgot that we even went.

In my experience I have not been able to get the memories back, but my memory does improve as time goes on.

It's probably one of the most frustrating things about ECT. It really saddens me some days.

I havent had ECT for this reason. Every single person I have spoken to who has had ECT has experienced memory loss to some degree. And that is more than 60 people that I have talked to about it.

Yes! Severe memory loss to the point that my pdoc now wants me evaluated for dementia since it is so severe. However, all my memory loss happened at the time of ECT so I know that is what is causing it. It is annoying not to remember significant things.

Ironically, I completely forgot that I ever posted this until today!
