Something comes to mind about the relapse medications after reading the posts, and literature.
The key drug is lithium. Then you add some antidepressants. A tricyclic, an SSRI, and maybe and atypical (example wellbutrin). That way all the bases are covered. If you only add one type of AD, and it is the wrong type, then the patient relapses and the ECTs are a waste of time. My Pdoc recently mentioned something like that to me. Now things are making more sense. Just thinking out loud.
Bye,
Dave
