Rest assured, Dr. Wolff medically supervises your care, and a staff member will be with you throughout your session to help you feel safe, supported, and comfortable.  The self-administered nasal spray comes in three doses per session. You’ll start with two doses during your first visit to see how you respond, and if you respond well, future sessions will include all three doses. Please note that Spravato sessions last two hours for monitoring and safety purposes. We kindly ask that you arrange transportation home in advance. For your awareness, patients usually feel the peak effects around 40 minutes after the first dose. This will gradually subside as your session continues. To help you feel at ease, our office offers soothing music, mindfulness meditations, and aromatherapy. Patients are welcome to bring in their own entertainment. 3 Begin Treatment A woman wearing a white bandage on her head Temporary Side Effects of Spravato? Side effects can vary in intensity, and not everyone will experience the following effects: Sedation: This is the most commonly reported side effect. Many patients find themselves needing a nap after receiving Spravato, but this sedation typically lessens over time. Dissociation: Some individuals may feel a sense of disconnection from themselves, their thoughts, emotions, or their surroundings. Blood Pressure Changes: A temporary rise in blood pressure may occur and can last for about four hours following a dose. We will monitor your blood pressure throughout your treatment. Nausea: Some patients may experience nausea after administration of Spravato. Anxiety: A short-term increase in anxiety symptoms can occur in some individuals after taking Spravato. How Effective is Spravato? Short term vs long term research A short-term Treatment Response study indicated that Spravato is effective when used in combination with oral antidepressant(s). As shown in the chart, patients experienced more rapid, significant relief in contrast to taking antidepressants alone. Several patients reported improvement as early as 24 hours, and some even experienced full remission of symptoms within the first 4 weeks! Sustained Benefits Over Time Long-term data showed that those who continued Spravato treatment sustained their progress for 4 years! Spravato may also be utilized as a part of a continued care plan.
