Believe it or not, I'm currently near the end of a cycle of ECT treatments, for the first time ever. I don't have a lot of confidence in it right now. The day of the treatments (at least the first part) I feel great, and practically cured. Then the days after are difficult, with anxious depression, and confusion. I'm losing faith.
The only major class of meds I've never tried are MAOIs, but I am so prone to side effects, and so sensitive to withdrawl, that I'm not sure it wouldn't be my worst experience to date. I can't really rule anything out, but I'm not looking foward to it, anyway.
I can't believe how much this condition sucks.
