Hi there,
I am very interested in this post as my Psy doc has just recommended ECT to me.

I live in Canada and he told me he considers ECT if the patient is suicidal and can't wait for meds to kick in or is non responsive to meds. As I meet both requirements I have seriously considered it.

I am home on a weekend pass after spending four weeks in hospital. He wanted me to think it over, talk to my husband and research ECT ( he knows I spend a lot of time here at PB looking for a magic cure ;o)

I go back tomorrow and am 99% sure I am going to give it a try.

Denise I hope you can keep working on your doc however if you are having a response to your med I would perhaps wait and see...ECT is for most the last resort.
Shelli,did you have any response at all?

Please wish me luck!
Again thanks to all for the info.
