Don't do it. Unless you are severly depressed and suicidal right now, don't do it. Its not worth the risks.
I am sure there are dozens of medication combinations you havn't tried.
ECT has a very high relapse rate. Something like >60% people releapse within a year. And then you're going to have the prospect of brain dammage on top of that.
Doing ECT is not something you can reverse if it goes wrong. Check out boards like remidyfind.com for real people's experiences.
