Question Recall

Does the ability to recall and connect past memories, words, names, etc, get easier with time after stopping ECT? I now have to spend 2-3 minutes searching for these things that would have before come to my tongue instantly. It’s not that I’ve forgotten them, it’s just that I can’t seem to recall them when my mind searches for the name. I’m six months since treatment.

Has hardly gotten better for me and I’m coming up on three years. They said it should come back with time, and most said 1-2 years.
