First time ECT

Posted by Monica L on September 26, 2009, at 18:59:15

So after going over everything with the Dr., he suggested ECT. I had been considering it but was so set on trying MAOIs that it took me by surprise when he mentioned ECT. I'm willing to go through with it, I've been reading some books about it and the benefits seem to outweigh the risks. The Dr. did say I would have some short term memory loss, which I don't mind. I would like to know of any experiences with ECT anyone has had. Good and bad, what should I expect when I wake up? How should I prepare myself?
Thanks so much!!!
