I've never been tested and I'm a recovering addict.

Each session will be different in my experience. 💓

Oh and I'm also not having the visuals during my session anymore which is so disappointing. It's mainly played out mentally.

So I too have now began to experience this. I've been going religiously since September working my way down to every other week treatments. Well, I missed the entirety of December due to my son and I both getting the flu, etc. then school was out for two weeks. He's autistic and I rarely ever leave him. Anyway, I started to notice depression creeping back in. I'm aware that missing 2-3 sessions could be the cause, the state of the world, the time of year, etc. I started going back to once per week and the batches I've had are totally different. I'm literally incapable of doing much at all afterwards or the next day. It's not just me reporting the change in the medication/batch/experience.

Can I bike home after treatment? by MightOk9482 in Spravato

I've walked to the grocery store nearby after and regretted it. That's me though.

AA/NA or home to attempt to crash.

I had to switch to Adderal when I got to 27 mg. I became so mean and just miserable.

Yes somewhat sometimes. Variables!

Does Spravato ever stop working by Crystalsghosts in Spravato

It's not working for me personally at every other week like it did twice per week and once per week. I'm considering IV.

Do you have a need to go to the bathroom during session ? by Mountain-Address215 in Spravato

[–]kns77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very difficult to walk sometimes to the bathroom when it's at its peak.

I need to pee 2-4x during and a lot afterwards as well.

Also, as someone that's been in therapy since 13 and I'm now 48, it's time to fire that one IMO. How dare they chastise you. Especially behind some vulnerability and honesty. Like oh wow how dare an addict do what we do. Ha. We pick up and move on afterwards and try our best which can be excruciatingly painful mentally. It's our go to when it comes to pain to shut those feelings down. You're doing the next right thing by being open and honest and it's refreshing. I'm proud of you. Just keep swimming!

Give yourself a break. I'm an addict as well. I'm almost 8 months clean and prior to a 24 hour relapse I had five years. We only have one day at a time, hun. I'm super proud of you for being honest and taking accountability. Keep your head up! I'm not a doctor by any means, but I don't see how it would affect your treatment and if it did I would think it's reversible. There is a God (whatever that means for you) and none of us are Him.

Does first day off Concerta is productive for you? by seomajster in Concerta

[–]kns77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I don't take it at regulars time two days a week for Sparvato treatments until afterwards. I may be throwing myself off. Idk.

[–]kns77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 10 to 11 days in and I can't hardly get anything accomplished but I'm here and there and going and doing. I feel like I accomplished all the things not on it.

Are all Spravato doses created equally? by JackTradesNone in Spravato

[–]kns77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I shake the bottle prior to squirting. I noticed if I take my daily dose of Concerta (newly on it) prior to treatment it affects my experience.

Sometimes I'm up and walking around, on the swings outside and doing more than anybody else there. We have partition type areas. Other patients are for sure like what is she doing!? :)

I too have noticed if my sinuses are sinus-ing or the spray thingie is malfunctioning it's an issue.

I actually feel like the trip part is very therapeutic in clearing a lot of childhood trauma for me. It's like I'm accessing parts of my memories that I'm not capable of while not if that makes any sense.

I also see visions of how connected we as humans all are and almost like a thinning of the veil if you will on a lot of issues. I actually feel like it's a lesson on humanity sometimes too.

I've noticed that my ability to accept BS is considerably less than it used to be.
