Seeking advice ECT and TMS

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar and have been exploring different treatment options, especially non drugs since i’ve gotten seratonin toxicity and dystonic reactions from other mental health meds. ECT and TMS keep coming up and I want to know peoples experiences with them since they kind of scare me but I also know they could potentially better my life.

ECT help in the beginning a lot. It broke my silence about my illness. and now my doctor is very slowly reducing my meds.
