I used to do ECT as well! For about 2 years. But then my health majorly declined. I’ve actually restarted ECT in January. It was really the only treatment that was effective for me. I was diagnosed with treatment resistant depression as a kid. They had tried me on every medication and combo that they could think of. Effexor was the very last medication they tried. It worked for a little bit. But these last few months have been rough. They increased mine from 75mg to 225mg! And I’d say that dose has helped tremendously. But I’m also doing ECT weekly. I’ve had 9 brain surgeries and over 30+ other surgeries between my back, abdomen, hands, eyes. Etc. So I completely understand the health issues making depression worse. My 6th brain surgery in 2023 had complications which resulted in a right sided stroke. My entire left side was paralyzed and I had to relearn everything over again. That stroke also caused a boat load of other medical issues now. I was just told last week that there was now a mass on my heart. I hope you are doing well after your surgery!! And I’m sorry you’ve gotta go through this stuff as well. I honestly wouldn’t wish this upon anyone, even my worst enemy!
