I'm having trouble finding an antidepressant that works for me. Has anyone tried Spravato treatments? Thanks!

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.

I did spravato for awhile and took Auvelity I take twice a day I haven’t felt this good for a long time.

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.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We are here for support and encouragement and even love for our fellow human beings who suffer.
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.
