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.
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))))
I started Spravato mid 2024. I wasn’t sure if it was really working or not for a while. Because my depression has a lot to do with my pain. After I stopped because it was a new year and I was having another surgery. I was feeling slightly better, but my biggest problem. Is I have absolutely no energy and I’m tired all the damn time. I’ve been saying I felt pretty good and I did. But the fact that I still can’t get anything done around my house like I used to is killing me. This summer has been the worse ever. I’ve been married for 25 years this year. My husband is a complete ass he’s no help what so ever. You would think he would help to make things better on me. But hell no. He’s had it good for over 15+ years. I have always done all the cooking, cleaning and ALL THE YARD WORK. Because I loved doing that stuff. But now I can’t because of back which needs surgery now. I’m sorry I’m getting off track. But a few months ago my depression took a total dump. And I was able to go back to Spravato. Which is helping one part of me but the other parts are still hurting. If that helps anyone.
I have not yet been able to find a doctor that will prescribe spravato to me. It is supposed to be very helpful with pain. Normally, at the pain goes away so does a lot of depression. Good luck with your search. I would definitely try it if I could
I started Spravato treatments in late 2023 and currently get 2 treatments per month. For me it works very well. Shortly after starting, the debilitating weighed down feelings of depression lifted. I would highly recommend it. Fortunately my insurance covers it. I would encourage those with treatment resistant depression to discuss option with their mental health provider.

Can I get some feedback from anyone who has done Spravato ?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that ECT is not going to work for my depression. Is anyone familiar with failure rates of Ketamine?
