Hi there,
Maybe ask your pdoc to lower your dosages of those meds???? I haven't been on strattera, but I have done ECT. Also, I know it is a pain in the @ss going through the med routine, but if you try to hang in, be patient, and persist, you may and will be preasantly surprised-I was.
Give it a try and if you want any experience of mine concerning ECT, let me know. I did ECT as a LAST resort-good and bad effects...
Let me know and hang in,
Kristen:-)

> I've been taking meds for years now and nothing's helped. The last couple of months I've tried lexapro, geodon and pindolol. The geodon and pindolol sedated me so much I couldn't function very well, and the lexapro took away my sexuality. When I stopped taking it the withdrawal was so bad I started thinking about suicide. Now the doctor wants me to try strattera and I'm afraid. I'm so tired of going through all the shit with the meds. I feel like nothing's going to help anyways. The doctor also wants me to check out the possiblity of ECT. I just don't know what to do...
