Spravato Treatment
- What is it?
Spravato is a FDA-approved prescription medication for adults that is used to treat patients with depression and suicidal ideation who do not respond well to other antidepressant medications.
- How is it different from other medications I tried in the past?
Spravato is a nasal ketamine spray that will be administered to you in our office under observation of a healthcare professional. You will spend two hours relaxing in our beautiful and peaceful office while the medication takes effect. The course of treatment varies from person to person, but in general, you will come to our office twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for 4 weeks, and then as needed. While in treatment, you will continue taking your other antidepressant medication and working with your therapist. Both medication management and psychotherapy are available at our office, if you wish to receive all services with us.
