> However, the ECT didn't help me, my memory isn't coming back, and I feel stupid and slowed down. I would be able to handle the memory loss better if I weren't so depressed, and it's possible the dumb feeling is due to the depression. Either way, I'm worse off.
oh god. :( i'm sorry. was this bitemporal, bifrontal or unilateral? what dose was it? have you tried taking an anticholinisterase inhibitor? i'm sorry if this is a stupid idea but i read a case report of donepezil coadmistered with ECT and absolutely no cognitive/memory impairment was experienced... maybe it could help after the fact?
oh god, ive been thinking about ECT so much, but i don't think i'll find anyone who will give it to me. i really don't know if i care if i forget my whole life anymore, i'm sorry it had to happen to you. :( it always seems to happen like this.
