hey everyone, I just need some mental support...I had my 5th ECT treatment today and I feel terrible!! I know that a lot of my awful feelings are related to severe anxiety and the ECT is not going to do much for that but I just need some hope and encouragement! Can someone...give me some good words. My dr. says he can't treat the anxiety while giving the ect and this is because the meds used to treat anxiety interfere with the treatments.I know that this may not make total sense to most people but this is how it is.The 'benzo's are contraindicated during the course of ect...supposed to have 12 treatments total...5 down 7 to go over the next 3 to 4 weeks I don't know if I should ask to d/c the ect and treat the anxiety or not. I have constant suicidal ideation but have no plans to act on it.Like I said...I just need some hope and encouragement! Thanks
