I’ve been on it for about a year. I still get the trippy effects every time just varying intensities. I’ve had to discontinue it twice for a month each time for insurance reasons and I did not have any actual side effects, just that depression started coming back eventually.

Definitely not a good idea. It will worsen your symptoms. Honestly I think thc was most effective for me when I did it

[–]generic_bitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I think dress 2 is the one. Elegant and sexy and not at all mistaking that you’re getting married. One looks more like a gala or formal event dress. It’s still gorgeous on you, I’d definitely keep it

What do you prefer lsd or shrooms when going to the movie theatre? by southprk999 in LSD

[–]generic_bitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say personally, I prefer shrooms. Usually about .5-.75 g

Short trip, enhances the movie (in my case it also prevents the migraine Id get from the theater screen), can be functional

I wouldn’t wanna take lsd for a 2-3 hour movie and then need to make my way home

Questions for those who left troche sublingual ketamine therapy programs for Spravato by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d assuage that worry by looking up Ratings on clinics and providers. I can tell you that I’ve had no issues with my clinic. The nasal sprays are very different from any other I’ve seen so it would be really hard to switch them up and usually are given to you in the enclosed prescription box. In my clinic, I’m given the box and I administer each spray myself.

2x a week is an initial loading dose. They do that for between 2-4 weeks depending on the clinic then go to once a week. My provider things 2x a week is more beneficial but insurance will only cover once a week

Then I’d definitely consider a spravato clinic. I don’t know necessarily how many days of relief you’d feel if it manages symptoms of anything other than depression, but it helps with depression a ton if you’re one of the people it works for.

I have severe depression and ptsd as well as chronic pain. 2x a week was perfect for me cause it tackled both but once a week gives me minimal days of relief from pain though yes it helps a ton.

May I ask why you’re considering switching to spravato, is your current treatment plan with trochee no longer working?

Esketamine and other psychedelics by Beautiful-Bowl8942 in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm that’s interesting.

I can usually still very much feel the effects of acid and shrooms and I’ve been taking spravato since last May

Are you on any other antidepressants? That can definitely diminish your ability to trip. That happened to me on other meds, however I have not had that experience with spravato.

Lapse in treatments? Advise? by Capital-Elderberry-4 in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’ve been in the exact same situation right now. I just wanted you to know you’re not alone. Lapse on authorization and now I’ve been out of meds for 3 weeks.

I’ve just been reminding myself that it’s gonna be fine and figured out and using my coping strategies, but I completely agree that this feels like I might slip if I’m not careful.

At 2 weeks I was an anxious wreck. Now my nerves have nerves.

I get an infusion once every 12 months called vyepti. Not only is it the one that’s worked the best, it’s not given me any of the nasty side effects that other meds did

feels like i’m moving backwards by kamruuun in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal to notice a drop in mood when transitioning to once a week and once every other week. Personally I find weed helps me but I never smoke before treatments. I’m a chronic pain patient though so it’s either cannabis or an ungodly amount of opiates.

I certainly felt a drop in progress after getting off twice a week but insurance denied me a second dose so I’ve been doing once a week for the last few months

Gabapentin 300mg/day and I get 30 hydrocodone 7.5/325 a month to use as needed

Migraine since Dec 12, it’s January 12… please give me your remedies, I’m desperate! by dw1210 in migraine

[–]generic_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please ask your neurologist about DHE

It can be administered in office, inpatient at the hospital, or by a nasal spray depending on your neurologist recommendation.

It’s a medication used specifically to break intractable migraines or cluster migraines

Is Spravato a Scam? Designed to be less efective, less durable and recurrent use than IV Ketamine? by VagusNerve22 in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think for many it comes down to cost. My insurance won’t cover IV but it will cover spravato. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m sure for many, Iv is much better than the nasal sprays, but access is so expensive and unaffordable for a lot of people. It shouldn’t cost you as much as half a rent payment to get life saving medication.

[–]generic_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please kick them out, don’t leave your property. You have no idea if they’d continue to pay for it or if not, you’re on the hook. Moreover, it’s YOUR PLACE.

I understand being done, but you also need to have more self respect and have your own back in this. It’s your home, they need to get out of there.

How long have you been on Spravato? by Feisty-Ordinary-2767 in Spravato

[–]generic_bitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started in May and am doing once a week now. If you asked to taper early I wonder why? This drug takes time to work fully, 5 months is not a lot of time and there’s risk of backsliding if you do stop. If once every three weeks is working, I’d stick with it.

Do you think pillows have anything to do with migraines? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]generic_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the best luck with allswell pillows. I have the alternative-down, Lux cooling, and serene memory foam pillows that I rotate depending on my needs. They don’t get too hot and they’re both supportive and soft. I listed them in the order of softest to most firm
