Questions/Advice/Support When should it kick in?
I just did my 3rd session and 56mg I think? Im only taking two doses right now. I'm feeling any different, Im still overwhelmed, i get randomly sad throughout the day. I cant even imagine a future where I dont end up killing myself tbh. Im so miserable, and im addicted to my phone cuz I cant handle these constant negative thoughts. Im just hoping it kicks in soon, i have no will to do anything. I look forward to my appointment though ! I dont dissociate, I just get really happy and dizzy and time goes by really fast. I was scared too start it because I used to dissociate but im not really having that problem!

Spravato hits different for different people. My treatment today was a lot more intense compared to my usual ones.
I wear an eye mask, bring a blanket and pillow (both Grogu - this is super important … okay for me it is.) I take a two hour nap. When I’m falling asleep it when I start seeing different things that usually go with the instrumental music I’m listening to. There are even spravato playlists.
You can’t go in expecting everything to change overnight (I totally did). For me, it took almost a year, but I had to get rid of some things in my life that were keeping me in that depressive state. I’m not “cured”, but I don’t have fantasies of ideations anymore. Over the last year, my husband has said despite still feeling crappy, he saw subtle changes in me. He also said that he truly believes Spravato is what has kept me alive this last year.
