I was doing it about every 3-4 weeks and my depression worsened so I've gone back to weekly for about the past 3 weeks. I think every other week would be good to shoot for. I hate having the treatments. Plus, we have to leave at 5 a.m. to get there on time.
I don't know how old the machine is, but I'm definitely a little spacey for a while after the treatments. Plus, like I said, I know it's affected my memory. You're lucky to have no ill effects.
