Starting ECT -- any advice?

Posted by cab on November 12, 2002, at 11:25:59

OK, I convinced my pdoc to let me do ECT (actually it didn't take much convincing) because I need relief as quickly as possible. I have my first consultation in a few days. Does anyone know whether one has to come off lithium before it starts? How about Paxil? And are there recommended drugs for maintenance, after the course is done? Any success stories with ECT, or just things I should know?
Thanks,
C
