Question: I have PTSD from a abusive relationship that was over 12 years ago, has anyone heard of having ECT for PTSD?.?
I had a few triggers that made me start having flashbacks and remembering some events. I have been on celexa and abilify for about 6-7 months now and nothing seems to be working. Has anyone heard about propranolol helping?

Your question is about electro convulsive therapy for post traumatic stress disorder.
Yes, I have heard of this being used in severe cases where medications and therapies have not worked at all.
Since you have been on celexa for less than a year, not every form of therapy and medication has been used to alleviate your symptoms. For this reason, you are not a candidate for ECT.
Please give your medication and therapies a chance to work. Remember that twelve years of an abusive relationship cannot be resolved in a few months.
You're doing the right thing so keep working at getting better and give it time.
I wish you all the best.
