I did it for about 6 months, I believe. My doctor stopped it because I became suicidal, and he thought the ECT might have activated an underlying bipolar tendency (or something like that....I can't recall clearly). The maintenance ECT didn't help me all that much. It was the intial round that helped, but the help only lasted about 2 weeks.
I hated the anesthesia, too. It scared me. I thought I might not wake up from it, and I didn't like how I had no control over what was happening once the anesthesia took hold.
