Has anyone failed Spravato but found success with TMS?

I tried Spravato and it made my depression worse. I'd always have a couple days after the treatment of feeling kind of ok, then I'd have a crash day where my emotions were completely out of control. Then it would get gradually less bad every day until my next treatment when the cycle would repeat.

I had no suicidal ideation when I started Spravato, but I started getting it after about 6 weeks. Then it got stronger and stronger with ever "crash day" after that. I kept thinking if I stuck with it, it would get better, but it just kept getting worse, so I stopped. I also had really bad brain fog, memory issues, and sometimes just confusion over simple things during that time.

Now I'm looking at trying TMS. But I really don't want a repeat of my experience with Spravato.

I've talked to my medical providers, but I'd love to hear some personal experiences from other people too.

TL;DR Spravato made me worse. Wondering now if TMS is worth trying. Looking for personal experiences.
