I have been doing ECT since 2011. We have NOT been able to find a good antidepressant. My current med is 30mg of Abilify. At 1st it seemed to help. Now I don't think it is.

I'm just curious what you like and don't like about ECT?

I guess I'm lucky it didn't really affect my memory. It did make me really fuzzy tho. I might tell my doc if I could cut down some on my meds Id be willing to go back to doing ect. Right now I'm taking 4 pills in the morning and 5 in the evening. yay.

I am definitely for it tho. Id rather not be inpt either
