In reply to Starting ECT -- any advice?, posted by cab on November 12, 2002, at 11:25:59
are you sure you want to use ECT before the meds have a chance to kick in? it took about 6 weeks for paxil to start working for me, how about you wait a few more weeks? In my opinion ECT is a drastic measure and should be used as a last resort only. My mother had it done to her 7 or so times over the course of her life and she lost lots of memories, not to mention that she was a virtual zombie for awhile afterwards. However, it is your choice to make, i just think you need to think about it and do lots of research first
with kindness.... :)
