Janice,
The jury is still out on the ect. We are changing the electrode placement Monday. If we obtain good results I'll continue with maintenance treatments, hopefully no more than once a month. My consulting pyschopharmacologist has recommended avoiding ADs altogether as long as I have any hint of mixed or hypomanic symptoms. That includes my lightbox!
He thinks ADs will make my mood worse in the long run. The only mood stabilizers I haven't given a fair trial are the Omega Three oils. It would be nice to banish the depression without too many side effects.Chris A.
