Mags,
I'd also like to second that it would be a great favor to all of us here if you kept us informed of your ECT experiences. You probably won't be feeling too peppy during the treatments, but it might be good therapy and a contribution to your 'memoirs' to keep a record of your days during this time. Who knows, there may even be a book in it for you down the line!I'd also like to let you know how much your meds and 'wanton' history jibes with mine. I've gone through every single one of the newer ADs and some of the older ones. I'll get a honeymoon rush for a few weeks or months and then - splaaat!
My garage resembles a stuffed to the gills warehouse. I can easily open a Michael's Craft Store with all the fallout from my brilliant craft and project ideas that never came to fruition (you have no idea how serious I am about this!). Bankruptcy has not happened yet, but looms and leers around every corner every month of the year. Billpaying time is either a matter of intense overwhelm and stress or 'I'll think about it tomorrow' and tomorrow never comes.
I'm currently stabilized and relatively serene on a brew of Remeron, lithium, Klonopin and thyroid (plus handfulls of vitamins and amino acids). I'm counting the days until another splaaat.
I've recently been upgraded from unipolar to Bipolar II mainly because of my med history and the fact that members of my family fit into the BPII category.
So, I think we have much in common, and I'd like you to know that you're not alone by any means. Please keep in touch. - BCat
