Has anybody been able to lower or discontinue meds after ECT treatments? I get ECT every 2 weeks and sure would like to lose some of the weight these darn meds have caused.

My pdoc said I "might" be able to go down to one med if I did ECT but he wasn't certain. I am currently on 6 so down to one would be great but I still don't think it is worth ECT just yet.
