In reply to considering ECT, posted by pseudoname on November 2, 2006, at 11:39:50
Thanks to everyone who's responded to my post. It really means a lot to me. I knew that I could come to Babble and not worry about how pathetic I sounded. I really appreciate the support.
I am considerably less desperate now. I increased my buprenorphine dose from about 0.25 mg/day to 1.5 mg/day. That pulled me out of that headfirst hole I was in. (When I first started bupe last fall, it took 3 mg/day to get a sustained antidepressant response. Maybe there's a seasonal component to my depression and I just need to take more bupe in the fall & winter?)
Anyway, despite the restored antidepressant response, I still get pleasure out of nothing, so I'm still considering ECT, although I can't imagine how I could manage it logistically.
I want to reply to everyone individually (HUGS all around!), but I may not have time on this public terminal…
