If you've been stable for so long then I wouldn't consider ect. It's not really to get you off of meds. I still have to take meds even though I has it last fall. It did keep me mostly stable for almost a year but that was also due to my medication. It's harsh on the body and the mind. You lose a lot of memory. I only did it because I had no other meds to try and I was basically nonfunctional because I was so depressed. If you're not having problems right now I wouldn't do it. It's not a cure, just a treatment.
