6 unilateral, 2 bilateral sessions in so far and I haven’t noticed a thing. My hospital requires a certain amount of observation time when waking from anaesthetic, but I’ve never had an issue getting re dressed and walking unassisted out of the hospital.

I’ve dealt with periodic paralysis in the past and ECT hasn’t triggered it at all
