@leebee26 I’m glad Spravado is working for your husband’s depression. You sound like a really caring and supportive caregiver. I’m sorry to hear about the lapse in treatment. I wonder if there is a different facility you could have in mind as a backup, in case it happens again?
I wonder if the memory problems can be attributed to normal aging? Did it seem to get better when he had to pause his treatment? I think the side effects you describe sound kind of intense. I’m wondering if he is on any other meds that may be contributing to these side effects. I think you’re right to want to bring these concerns to his prescribing physician.
Wishing you both the best.

@ashleyharris728 Thank you for your reply and encouragement to keep seeking answers.
Hubby is not on any other pharmaceutical medications for his mental health.
Only other is Cbd oil which helps on his regular days. Especially for sleeping. His treating doctors are aware and monitor this also.
He's 77yrs so decline could be part of it but was so sudden for memory drop.
Made sense when Geratrician discovered hubby had a recent stroke with slight scar on his frontal lobe.
He's on a low dose b/p tab and beta blocker for AF. But these have been his regular meds for bout 7 yrs.
Everything else is vitamins.
We've booked in to see new GP who will hopefully investigate and navigate with us for more answers.
Thank you for suggesting a different facility if another lapse occurs.
All these treatments are new where we live. Trials are still being investigated in our growing coastal town of Qld.
Hubby is fortunate that his hospital is actually up and running with the ketamine program. Even with hiccups.
Glad to have found this website to connect with others that possibly have similar reactions with feedback.
First asked questions regarding GAE & Embolisms for his double TKR.
Appreciate your well wishes.
Warmest Regards
