I'm starting Spravato soon and want a reality check from people who've actually done it.

I have treatment-resistant depression (high 30s on the scale, basically non-functional). Every treatment I've tried so far has been hyped up by the doctors running it and then done nothing for me. TMS was the most recent, I thought it was a coinflip, they told me 70% success rate, I saw other patients respond well, and then I got nothing. One of the techs later mentioned that long-term depression often responds less, which I wish someone had said upfront.

For those who've been through Spravato:

• How accurate are the success rates that get quoted?
• Did being treatment-resistant or chronically depressed affect your response?
• Honest read: should I expect this to work, or expect another miss?

Trying to walk in with realistic expectations, not hope I can't afford to lose again.
