Hello All 😀
I'm presently going through ECT treatments. This was my choice considering all the medication issues I'd been having. So far it hasn't been too bad but I have ask if those of you who had it felt kinda weird? I mean out of sorts? I've had 4 treatments so far and have had emotional ups and downs. Right now I'm in a depressed mood but my mood always right after treatment is happy. It's definitely not mania but the gentle happiness hasn't stayed with me and I've been flipping between happy, sort of angry, and very sad. How long does this go on for? I was pretty surprised that I felt so good after the 1st couple treatments. Now, I've spent the entire long weekend feeling blue. What gives? Any feedback would be appreciated? Cheers, Coco

I know for me I didn't feel any better until the thirteenth treatment so the fact that you are responding already is a great sign. It will probably even out as you get moe treatments. How many are you planning on getting? Do you know yet? I always say with ect that you have to be patient and give it a fair trial and you may see results.

I just finished my 9th treatment on Friday and it was the last of this round. I've been feeling very depressed and even on the verge of suicidal. I'm signed up for another 6 treatments but will likely have to wait for a month. I've also been getting anger. So far no end in sight to these horrible feelings :-( sounds like yours is working better.
