> My first ECT series of 6 was a great success, which unfortunately didn't last. A few weeks later, I went through another quick series, but didn't seem to get the original positive results. My thoughts are that it was because I had increased my Cymbalta, and it was making me more irritable and down. I also noticed that after the ECT (2nd round), I would wake up feeling irritable. My dr. said they are independent, but to me it only makes sense that they are going to affect each other.
> Does anyoone have any experiences or heard of anything similar? Where you can get a different ECT response based on the meds you are on?I have been told that it is best if one is off antidepressant medication while undergoing ECT.
