Hi Chloe.. I'm very glad to see your name again, although sorry to hear that the ECT didn't provide you with a lasting remission. At about the time you had ECT, I had TMS. I think it is about the same in effectiveness, although the TMS, not being FDA-approved, is not as easy to get. It was so free of side-effects- not any short-term memory loss, and not even a headache afterwards- and so easy, because , since no anesthesia was required, I could drive myself there and back. Each treatment took 20 minutes- I had one daily for three weeks. So far, I have been lucky, as I do have a four-month remission (after a 10-year AD-resistant depression). But, if and when I need to, I would definitely return for whatever maintenance treatment I needed- there just isn't a down-side to it.

I wanted to tell you this, as you do not seem to want maintenance ECT, and TMS, with maintenance, might seem more reasonable to you- if you could obtain it near where you live.
