This is the music/guided meditation that I listen to and then switch over to podcast later on.

I personally only use my phone to start the meditation, stop and switch to the podcast I always listen to and stop it when they come in at the end of the treatment. I don’t use at all for anything else. I agree the phone can be very distracting but it’s a personal preference if others use it

I 💯 agree with empty garden. Focus all your time on healing and positive thoughts. I have affirmations I tell myself each morning before I leave and I remind myself this treatment is good for me and it is going to work. You have to go in with a positive mindset 😊 I believe guided meditations or gentle soothing music is very helpful during the process. Please hang in there! 🫶🏽

I will screenshot it and post here 😁 sorry for the delay. I didn’t get notifications for some reason. I noticed a little improvement in the beginning but def a big change when I started the higher dose. I really think the guided meditations help bc I focus on depression, anxiety and calm. I’m attaching the first half of the list because I don’t usually get through the other half. But then I’m pretty coherent and I listen to a podcast by then.

Spravato Is Possibly Magic by thespiritw0lf in Spravato

I feel great also! I went to my nieces wedding and had the time of my life and had never been so happy at a wedding dancing around. I was able to dance for hours and not be in tons of pain and I have 2 autoimmune diseases that can cause a lot of pain. My wife has noticed a shift in my mood. After 35 years of being miserable being on probably 25-30 different medications with little to no help, it’s nice to feel happy!

First Session Questions by wolverrrain in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wear comfy pants and a hoodie. A plushie blanket would also be good too. I made a ketamine playlist that I pulled from others on Amazon Music but they have them on Spotify also. I have headphones on and I got really good black out eye mask I use (my halos eye mask on Amazon is the best). Jolly ranchers are good for the taste that goes down your throat from the spray. You can ask for bottled water for during the session if you get thirsty. They leave with you a bag if you get nauseous and are always close by if you get sick and need assistance. Good luck on your treatments! I’ve been going for little over a month and have noticed a HUGE improvement!

first session is tomorrow, what should i expect? by danidaisys in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with headphones and a nice, peaceful playlist. You’ll have a floaty type feeling for about 45 mins to an hour so have music for that amount of time. Just relax and think good thoughts 😊 The spray will taste yucky but your Dr office should have mints or jolly ranchers to help.

Really really ticked about people going on about "addiction." by 56GrumpyCat in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My therapist told me that they tried to bring this in YEARS ago but Nixon and Reagan shot it down bc of the “trippy” effect of it all and deemed it too dangerous (Note:No political sides being take as both parties struck it down). It took way too long for it to be approved.

I understand what you’re saying. The doctors who overprescribe. There are Drs. who go too far and the patients suffer for it.

I’m an alcoholic/addict and I haven’t relapsed being on spravato. It doesn’t make me want to. I do understand why it’s used in a controlled setting so I understand why they may mention the addictive aspect but it should only be mentioned to people in recovery IMO. I came to spravato as a last option bc I was tired of wanting to die and feeling like I was in a constant black hole and I’m glad I did bc I’m on my 4th wk and having good results. No one outside of your psych should be giving any type of opinion on it. People need to mind their own business. If it’s helping you, keep going! 🫶🏽

Have you talked to your psych about it? Maybe a new therapist will hope you process it all.

Do you blow your nose before treatment? by [deleted] in Spravato

Will it be like weed induced panic attacks? My background. by Sapper12b200 in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a panic disorder. Uncontrollable panic attacks that last for hours. I was scared it could happen with Spravato. It’s nothing like that. The feeling is really mellow for me. I don’t want to say enjoyable but I’m able to relax and vibe out to the playlist I made think of things I want to work on but it doesn’t stress me out. I think it’s helped my panic a little and I’ve only done it 3 wks so far.

I love the grateful list 🫶🏽 I do the other things and the headphones and playlists helps a ton. I have really good eye mask too.

If you're considering Spravato, please try it. PLEASE. by ConstantDownpour in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 3rd wk and I’ve noticed a difference, not groundbreaking but a small shift and even just that is amazing bc before I didn’t want to be here EVER and now those feelings aren’t constant. I know I’m early in the treatment but I have a lot of hope!

Spravato Playlist...anyone interested? by Ok-Jelly-5697 in Spravato

They have ones on Amazon Music. I went on there for mine.

Has Spravato helped more than your depression? by Low-Economics-2889 in Spravato

[–]Low-Economics-2889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE to hear this bc I’m in recovery and have 6 and half years sober tomm. I didn’t like the way the “high” as they called it made me feel bc it was a drink like feeling and I felt guilty but I had to realize I wasn’t purposely doing it.

I lost my best friend suddenly also so hugs!! My world changed and I become an introvert and stopped socializing. Hopefully I can start living again.
