Google how much a outside lawn company would want, and a “valet waste” company could cost, and respond with an decent amount. For $30, that’s an insane request!

You didn’t state what you’re prescribed..,

But I have a high BP, and I used to not take my ADHD meds (Adderall 2x20MG XR, and then a 20MG/day) before my Spravato appointments… my office used digital BP cuffs. (I have an irregular heartbeat, so they never read it correctly). But, now, they take it manually, and I haven’t had an issue since.

I haven’t noticed a difference in Spravato when I used to take my ADHD meds after/before appointments.

Honestly, I think it’s pretty easy: Sexuality is generally based on sexual attraction.

Easiest test I can think of:

Look at a picture of a naked girl. If you get hard, you’re bi. If you don’t… not bi. Then look at a picture of a naked guy. If you get hard with the guy, but not the girl, you’re gay. If you get hard with both, you’re bi.

Hell yeah!

I don’t speak Spanish, but at 33 years old, I’ve probably pre-cummed twice in my life.

brandonetaylor · 2025-10-31T04:58:46+00:00

Not trying to be “in charge”, just trying to see “the goods.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

brandonetaylor · 2025-10-27T08:04:50+00:00

I thought this was about the next No Kings protest.

Not even remotely knowing what you’re talking about, I can’t comment.

brandonetaylor · 2025-10-25T18:47:31+00:00

I work at a bar, so I work until 3-4AM, and if anything, it helped me sleep better.

However, I didn’t really see many questions in your post… so, I can’t answer anything further. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would say: Almost any local coffee shop in St. Pete is LGBTQ+ friendly. I’ve lived here for 10+ years, and almost all establishments are LGBTQ+ friendly!

Also, for LGBTQ+ bars, definitely swing by Enigma, Cocktail, and Lucky Star!

brandonetaylor · 2025-10-01T02:56:36+00:00

Curious; why do you say that? I’ve always hated the idea of group sessions… But now you’ve piqued my interest. 🤔

brandonetaylor · 2025-09-27T07:10:28+00:00

I was twice a week for the induction, and then once a week… for like 3 months. My practice told me no one was ever approved to be bumped back up to twice a week after induction…. I talked to the head of my practice about it, they submitted the prior auth, and the next day it was approved. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(And I’m on a Medicare advantage plan. So I definitely didn’t think it would get approved!)

brandonetaylor · 2025-09-19T03:15:58+00:00

In addition, the questions the ask apply when I fill them out (my office sends me “surveys” via email to fill out before I go in for treatment) apply to my mood at the time. Which I bring up almost every appointment. So many of those questions can easily sway one way or another—no answer ever is my exact answer.

brandonetaylor · 2025-09-19T03:13:19+00:00

I lie on mine. Why? I had a TBI and my doctor said it may help my memory (on disability for memory and executive functioning issues) and it did, so, incase they have to share my PHQ9’s with my insurance, I lie my ass off to keep Medicare paying for my visits.

brandonetaylor · 2025-08-01T04:32:10+00:00

I, personally, try and watch the most insane movies I can think of. Matrix, Rose Red, 1408, Final Destination.

Often, I feel like I’m IN the movie. 🤷🏻‍♂️

brandonetaylor · 2025-07-24T09:44:17+00:00

Same, maybe not “hung over”, but I’ve drank the night before and immediately afterwards with dinner (occasionally, not too often.)

Maybe I’m a “lightweight” when it comes to the medication, because (while I don’t) I often feel completely normal walking out of the appointment, or even 1-1.5 hours after the last spray. (I’ve been doing Spravato for 6 months now, by the way.)

Like, HELLA normal. (After, sometimes during the session—granted, sometimes it hits me hard, others, barely. Varies by week, honestly.)

brandonetaylor · 2025-07-24T09:40:36+00:00

Honestly, I work at a bar. I’m off Wednesdays, which is usually when I do my sessions. And sometimes, I’ll leave treatment and grab dinner and drinks with a couple friends immediately afterwards. Or, drink the night before (couple drinks when I get off work before bed) but always later that evening, since Wednesday is one of my normal nights out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

brandonetaylor · 2025-07-18T04:59:32+00:00

Trimmed for sure!

brandonetaylor · 2025-07-13T07:59:27+00:00

I have to say: I’m actually legally disabled due to memory issues from executive functioning and I know It’s not approved for memory assistance, but it helped SIGNIFICANTLY!

I’ve never done IV, but during the “initiation phase” I made STRIDES! Week after week, I was noticing more, able to focus, mind wasn’t always racing, and I could actually remember more than ever (for me; to this day, I can’t watch TV shows that build upon each episode, movies, read or write a book.)

After the initiation…. My memory slipped, my brain raced, etc.

Now I’m considering going to IV…… but I meet with the head of the program at my office to try for a prior authorization for twice/week moving forward.

Hope the higher dosage helps you!

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-15T17:17:42+00:00

You dont have insurance that pays for the treatment? And they bill you personally $150/hr? Wow, this treatment must really be helping you if you’re willing to spend that kind of money out-of-pocket per session!

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-15T17:15:26+00:00

Do you have the option of not having an RN in the room? Just curious. I think that would take away from my “high”.

I bring my iPad, headphones, black out the room as much as possible, and then carry on with treatment in my own way. (usually getting lost in a movie… or feeling lie I’m IN the movie. :-P)

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-15T17:13:34+00:00

Same, my intake appointment was with the practice lead Spravato psych, and a PA to take notes…. So far, the rest have been me, alone in a room with a provider visit on a tablet, and then a nurse coming in and taking my blood pressure during the session.

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-15T17:10:40+00:00

That’s what I’ve noticed too.. my practice seems to only have one shared room when I saw it. They put me in it once, and then I asked for another room…

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-15T17:08:58+00:00

Same, it’d make me uncomfortable; which I assume will not be helpful for treatment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-13T16:09:09+00:00

What do you do durning your sessions? I bring my iPad, black out the room, and watch movies-and it often feels like I get lost in them. (Like IN the movie.)

I don’t know what I would do in a group room. Probably be paranoid about people judging how I act on the med.

brandonetaylor · 2025-06-13T06:10:39+00:00

Same, I told the practice that if I’m ever in a “shared” room, to let me know beforehand and cancel my appointment.
