By agitation, I meant that after two of the seesions when waking from the anesthesia I had the sensation that I could not breath and seem to recall screaming and flailing my arms and legs while being restrained and comforted by the staff. During my last treatment during wakening, I became extremely distraught crying, sobbing and shaking which seem to last for 30 minutes or so. Since I only have vague memories of the events a lot of my information is derived from my treatment records.
Thanks for your comments.
Oh then it wasn't the ECT in itself that caused the agitation so much as some issue with the anaethesia running out too fast I would believe. That's a highly clinical question as to why that happenned. If you want to know more you might post in the ask a doctor forum. Thanks.
