I have had two rounds of ect. I can't remember exactly when or even the year for that matter. I'll just say 2 to 3 years ago. The first round was somewhere around twenty treatments and the second was only five. They stopped the second round because the seizures were lasting too long and they had to give me ativan to stop them.
I was told memory loss would be minimal. What a crock! I don't remember huge chucks of my life... Childhood is mostly gone as well as a good chunk of adult life. Since having ect I also have a lot of trouble forming new memories. I have to write everything down and follow written directions for things I have done hundreds of times before.
