Try TMS or stick to medication?

I had my usual appointment with my psychiatrist today to go over how I've been feeling since our last session. Right now, her and I both agree that I am "stable." I have major depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar. In total, I'm on 9 different medications including zepbound for medication related weight gain. My family is concerned about all the side effects this medication can do to me. Today, my psychiatrist recommended TMS as an option to help potentially reduce the amount of medication I need. Personally, I like the way I feel now. I feel stable and safe but I also dont like having to take 8 pills a day just to function properly. Should I consider TMS if my insurance will cover it? What are the potential side effects and risks? What are my options if it doesn't work?

EDIT: Forgot to add list "anxiety" as something I was diagnosed with

Documented Coaching. Should I accept my fate?

So basically I'm on a whole slew of psychiatric medication and have been on them for a while. Within the past year, I've made changes to my medication which resulted in side effects that have affected my attendance. (Calling out because of intense migraines or being late because my meds make it harder to wake up.) Then 2 weeks ago I got put on a Documented Coaching by a senior manager for my attendance. Since then, I've tried really hard to not be late/ call out and some of my managers acknowledge that. However, the other day I was struggling really hard at work and had to step off the floor to gather myself. Towards the end of my shift as I was clocking out that day, the Lead Genius asked me why I stepped off the floor without notifying him. To be honest, I never had a great professional relationship with him so I did not feel comfortable telling him why I had to step off and there were no other leads/managers available. Finally, today I had a connection with my coach and he told me that the Lead Genius told him I "disappeared" without notifying and that now this has to be reported to the senior managers. With all that being said, I've basically accepted at this point my days at Apple Retail are numbered.

What I'm trying to gauge is, do I put in my 2 weeks now or just wait for them to officially let me go?
