I have tried Spravato and had very positive experience for months and then it peaked out. My psych said that happens with some. She then pute on a new med Auvelity that if different than any other antidepressant in that it impacts same neurotransmitters that Spravato does. It's been about 1month and so far so good.
My first spravato treatment was awesome. I felt lifted and I was in a good place. I had the second one, an increased dose, yesterday and I feel traumatized and hopeless. It was too much. I felt so sick afterward but felt like I needed to go because I had been basically dismissed. I couldn’t walk and was on the floor in the office apologizing for my state. I felt sick the rest of the night. Today I feel traumatized and so irritated and I want to give up. Tears in my eyes and I can’t focus. I live alone and haven’t seen anyone since nor can I get ahold of my dr office. I am supposed to go again on Monday and I seriously doubt I’m going. I feel worse than ever. So depressed and alone. Mak cause you don’t leave your appointments in an uber. If nobody cares enough to go with you like in my case just don’t go.

I’m not a doctor so I can’t give you medical advice but I will say it sounds like that drug doesn’t agree with you. Especially at a higher dose. Maybe take a break then if you decide you want to try it again, stick with the lower dose. It’s your body and your mind and only you know what works for you. No one else. NAMI gives support to people like us and you could maybe find a peer to go with you. Not sure.
Know that I am thinking of you and offering up positive energy if you want it.

I have had depression and anxiety for years. It is now treatment resistant and my doctor has prescribed Spravato. I’m on Medicare . My secondary ,Champ Va ,does not cover it. ( although all the websights I’ve visited insists they do cover it.). I can’t afford it. Very discouraged and hopeless.
Hi. My brother went thru 8 spravato treatments and had no results. Not to say it won’t work for you. My friend who’s a therapist has a patient who had it and is doing well. My friend said you should follow up with therapy. Hoping things turn around.

My son is 41 and started Spravato and therapy a couple months ago. Thats when all hell broke loose with his feelings that I was to blame for every bad thing he has been through. His words and outbursts were frightening( he lives in another state) I had to block him a couple times..He keeps saying that the Spravato has helped. He cant handle any stress, he literally has called me having a breakdown, and has texted about killing himself. One time when this happened I kept saying call the Crisis line. He says I am crazy and that I have a demon. I am a christian and if I didnt have God in my life I dont know how I could get through this. He is estranged from his father, so I have always been there for him, and have helped him financially through rough times. It just seems odd that after starting Spravato this all happened..

Have you thought about going in treatment? The way you are feeling (traumatized, worse than ever, etc.) At least get an assessment. Seriously I hope you find the right plan of action and the correct dose of medication that helps you feel much better. ((((HUGS))))

Thanks - good to know all this!
Maybe you go in for an assessment with the nurse and tell her how you felt since your last treatment. Maybe it was too high a dose. Sending hugs
