Hi, Marg,
I appreciate your reply. I'm on 3 ADs + Strattera + Concerta and in therapy. I just can't seem to get over this feeling of not wanting to live. I had an appointment with the ECT doc on Monday but she had to cancel, so now I have to wait until the 23rd to see her.
I just wanted to know from others here if I could have some hope that ECT would help, if even for a little while.
