ECT has affected my memory to the extent that i forgot I posted here . . . One more session to go on Monday. And then I visit with my pdoc and decide if any good has been done, or if something further is in order. One thing that is kind of messing me up is that i am switching meds. as well right now. The bilateral ECT has got me quite confused in some ways - mostly minor and annoying - but as I noted, I am doing the treatments as an outpatient so I get to be confused at home and among friends and family. I braved a visit to my office on Friday just to see what sort of reaction I got from 'friends and coworkers.' Everything was pretty much okay. A few uncomfortable silences and pauses while people reflected on what kind of questions were appropriate. Lots of people who didn't have a clue what ECT is . . . I do not plan to rush back to work just yet. I would like to feel I have made some real improvement before i plunge back into my day to day life. Will keep you posted. Any thoughts fellow recipients of ECT?
