adamie,
Wondered where you'd gone. Damn, ECT...well, if I remember right, this was the treatment you'd hoped for. I'm truly sorry it hasn't seemed to work.
On to your Celexa question: I don't have any personal experience with the stuff, but from what I've read it seems to be a "milder" SSRI, with practically no (yet discovered) secondary properties. That could be a very good thing.
I've found some pretty interesting info on the post-Prozac antidepressants on this site:

The sections titled "Defining 'Is'", "De-spinning In Vitro Data" and "The Adverse Effect Profiles of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors: Relationship to In Vitro Pharmacology " should help you most in figuring out what to expect from Celexa.
Best,
-pm
