when do you notice cognitive downturn from ECT?

Posted by iforgotmypassword on September 15, 2007, at 17:56:18

if it happens, is it something that you notice right away?

i am having my third treatment on monday. it is bifrontal placement using a Mecta SPECTRUM 5000Q machine. i am taking risperidone 2.5mg during the treatments, which i have worried about since i have suspected the chance of ECT helping me may be dependant on it's effect on dopamine receptors.

it's hard to say if i feel anything. i do. but what it is pretty hard to put my finger on...

atm i do feel fuzzy and inarticulate, but this hasn't been unusual with the risperidone and it has been a general complaint from the beginning.
