ECT #4
Pretty easy ECT today. I do not remember a lot of it. I think that I was still sleepy from the sedation drugs that I use at night (Thorazine, Lithium, Lorazepam). Going to cut this by half as I need to be awake in the morning and not groggy all morning.
Forgot to get a picture of the ECT. Maybe next time.

How're the headaches? Are they a problem?
No problem with headaches. I am just missing whole hours when I knew I was awake.
Yeah that's normal and should get better as you get further into it. Are you noticing any changes in your symptoms not that you've had 4 Sessions?
Also, please don't mess with any of your at home meds unless you specifically talk to your ECT Pdoc about it. This isn't the time to be mucking around with your meds.
The missing time and forgetfulness has nothing to do with your meds,most likely. Its just part of the process, their stimulating parts of your brain, its going to happen. That's why I kept Journals of everything that happened every day, so I could just go back and read it.
Check with your Pdoc about messing with those meds, they know your on them and if they thought they were a problem they would have stopped them.
Hang in there.

Big hug Thor.... I hope this will make a really positive difference for you as time goes on....xo
I do know that in my first treatment, my hand and leg tremors stopped. Still to this day, stopped.
