Thanks all for your experiences and notes so far. I'm still considering it (what else can I do?), but am a bit more wary than before. Fortunately, re: disorientation, I live in a city with an excellent public transportation system, so I shouldn't need rides. Hopefully. There also should be more than one clinic (and thus, type) available.
I am a bit disconcerted to find that most ECT in the US is still bilateral.
Papillon, do you happen to know anything of the types of ECT used on those acquaintances of yours for whom it worked? Was there a final reason you chose not to do ECT yourself?
