In reply to SSRI's After ECT, posted by Geezer on November 23, 2002, at 11:01:49
I can't speak from experience, but I know that some say that meds that didn't work before ECT may work afterwards. I'm starting ECT Dec.3 and am planning to stay on Paxil and Remeron (which aren't currently working), so I'll let you know...
How are you doing, generally? Still well?> Has anyone had success with an SSRI following ECT treatments? I had great success with Prozac (for a year and one half - prior to poop-out), spent the next 14 months in depression where nothing would work. Have now completed 10 ECT treatments (2 more to go). Have been taking Parnate for 10 days but having trouble with SE's. Stopped taking Parnate this AM, will wait the required 2 weeks prior to starting an SSRI. Would appreciate any experience anyone would wish to share.
