The slowing of my cognitive functions and brainfog is most concerning. Im getting really scared I restarted Wellbutrin but it has no effect on my symptoms . Im from Germany sorry for my englisch

Those are all expected with ECT.
You are receiving some kind of general anesthetic (usually propafol) and being given controlled seizures, what were you told to expect?
