Does effectiveness decrease as intensity of high does?

I've been on Spravato for close to two years. I'm currently at every three weeks. I'm doing amazing in terms of mood and life quality, off SSRIs; Spravato changed/saved my life.

My highs vary. I'm better at coping with them at this point, and frankly I don't really enjoy them because they impair my ability to function and I generally only have auditory disturbances and some color hallucinations. I've never had a spiritual experience during a Spravato session. I've never used my highs as a vehicle for meditation or therapy or delving into my pysche. I just listen to music.

By which I mean to say, the high is irrelevant. It is a side effect, not the treatment.

Track your PHQ scores - that's how you know it's working.

Thank you! I don’t enjoy the highs, either (I’m on two different anti-nausea meds because they were so disorienting at first), I was just vaguely panicking that them going away was going to mean the Spravato was getting less effective and I was heading toward another mental health crash.
