    Abstract

    Cholinergic agonists have been reported to ameliorate ECT-induced memory impairment. Inositol metabolism is involved in the second messenger system for several muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Inositol 6 g daily was given in a cross-over double-blind manner for 5 days before the 5th or 6th ECT in a series of patients. No effect was found on post-ECT cognitive impairment.
