Shock treatment - anyone with experience?

Posted by Lumen on August 24, 2000, at 6:08:22

My son (22) has been taking celexa and resperdal (two weeks). He is in hospital due to suicidal thoughts (one very serious attempt)and inability to do everyday things or concentrate on anything. Problem began about a year and a half ago while away at university. The medication is not working and is affecting his ability to sleep and making him unable "to be comfortable". Previously on luvox which did not help. The doctor has suggested shock treatment (ECT)if he does not respond to drugs. Anyone with experience of this, or comments?
