How are you, really, post-ECT treatments?

I have had ECT every 2 weeks for the past 2 1/2 years. I am one of the lucky ones as I have minimal memory problems and my suicidal thoughts are greatly reduced. I will continue ECT until it stops working for me and I don't see that happening in the near future. I do take anti-depressants and anti-psychotics to help keep my depression in check but I think that is just what I will have to do to keep me well. Good luck to everyone.

That treatment course sounds like overkill . . , just saying. . . my goal is to jump start a long term break from psychotropic meds. How do you function? ECT has rough stuff. Who takes care of you?
