Your symptoms sound just overwhelming to me. Can't that doc give you some Klonopin and Seroquel? Klonopin is a anticonvulsant too. You could take 25 mg Seroquel for the sleep. I find it really works great. Even just 0.5mg of klonopin would help calm down some of these symptoms in between therapies.
Are you feeling any relief (for depression) from any of these ECT treatment? Snapper, you didn't bring on these symptoms. You aren't a loser either. You are very brave to under go this long tx process. I am not going through it and it seems like eternity. Does this doc realize how much you are suffering?
If I weren't medicated properly, I just can't imagine the state I would be in. Pardon my ignorance on ECT. Is it that the doc really wants to see your true symptomsm, so that he can see improvement? But, my goodness, this duration of time without medication of symptoms seems almost unbearable to me.
Before each tx, do they go over a review of how you feel now? I mean with the symptoms you listed. I think a doc would have to medicate you a bit more.
