Congrats Techno on that combo,
I am still on Marplan 40 mg and my doc added a small dose of Abilify (2mg) and Lithium(600mg) in the last 2 years. I have felt better but for now I'm functional although still feel memory impaired after having 12 or so (can't remember) treatments of ECT in early 2011. I'm not convinced the ECT was helpful but I was on my way out so there weren't alot of choices and I was unable to make a logical decision. They stopped the ECT as I had so many cognitive side effects. I remember nothing about having the treatments but the doc was a nut case and never followed me after the last treatment to see what the benefits/negtive effects were. That to me is outrageous that no one cared that my memory was probably affected and what might be helpful for me to try. HAs anyone experienced this and what has helped you? I though perhaps a med like aricept might be indicated but my psychiatrist isn't convinced. Would a neuropsych test makes sense so far after ECT. Why don;'t they do this test befor ECT and then several times post ECT.
Psychiatry never ceases to disappoint me.
