Obviously, I am going to discuss this at great length with my psych, but I don't see him for 5 weeks so I thought I would ask here. Will they consider doing ECT on someone with a long history of major depression that is currently controlled by medication? I take a *****tail of meds that includes Lithium, Abilify, Welbutrin and Ativan to keep my depression under control and even with that, it still breaks through on a regular 5 year cycle, where I am off work for 1-2 years. I have been on meds for over 30 years and would love to be able to go off of them or at least lower the dosages so that I could experience what it's like to be me without a mind full of chemicals. Thanks for any input.
Currently on medication
