SPRAVATO is an effective treatment option for those who experience Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). The mental health conditions often come with serious symptoms that sometimes do not respond to traditional psychiatric medications and treatment approaches. When that happens, it can be disheartening, as your options feel limited and you may feel stuck with your mental health symptoms. Thankfully, SPRAVATO has been shown to provide relief from the symptoms of MDD and TRD. It is important, however, to understand how the administration and monitoring for SPRAVATO work, as it is a little different than traditional psychiatric medications.

Administration of SPRAVATO occurs in our office. You will be in a comfortable room where you can relax and be at ease. We will provide you with the nasal spray, which you will then self-administer under our supervision. This is a convenient way to receive your dose of SPRAVATO and also allows for a controlled dose so you do not get too much or too little. Our team will be there to oversee the administration and make sure you do things in the appropriate manner.
Once you have taken your dose of SPRAVATO, you will be kept in our office for a monitoring period of around two hours. This is to ensure you respond well to the treatment, and to also prevent you from driving too soon after treatment. SPRAVATO can leave you feeling relaxed, but it also impairs your ability to drive. The mandatory observation period prevents you from driving while impaired, and it also allows us to see how you respond to your SPRAVATO treatment.
SPRAVATO also has a mandatory observation period after treatment because it can have sedating properties, as well as a risk of dissociation and respiratory depression. We want to make sure your treatments are safe and healthy for you. This means observing how you respond to your SPRAVATO dose, both physically and mentally. Our team is trained to make sure you are safe at all stages of your visit.
It is important that you understand all the aspects of your mental health treatment as you determine which treatment options are right for you. By learning about the administration and monitoring for SPRAVATO, you will know what your treatment plan will fully entail, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in your care.
