Hi Denise,

I was still functional when I began ECT but I had reached the point where NO AD had the slightest effect on my depression (I had used most all of them). I remain hopeful the ECT will revitalize my response to ADs (I feel they will be needed over the long run). I will see my pdoc today a 3:00 and expect he will start Parnate.

You sound like you are very much in the same condition I was in.....that being the case you are NO FRAUD!! I think ECT has received a very bad rap for no good reason, don't be afraid to move forward.

Please keep us informed.

Geezer
