ECT advice

Posted by jerseygal1 on October 13, 2011, at 17:00:51

My doctor has mentioned the possibility of ECT for me. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I've been on the following meds that haven't worked:
prozac (pooped out after 10 years)
lexapro
pristiq
zyprexa (with pristiq)
lithium
remeron
Lithium is the latest addition to see if it can get a response. So I'm currently taking pristiq, 100mg,lithium, 900 mg., remeron, 30 mg., and clonazepam, 2 mg.
I'm wondering if it is worth exploring all the meds out there before doing something as drastic as ECT. I've never tried zoloft or paxil, or any of the MAOI's.
