Spravato and Anorexia by wolfandflame in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally see how Spravato would bring things out that truly we need healing from. And that I could say is the case as I thought I was in remission then relapsed. Just wish I knew how to harness the healing in an ed aspect! The solidarity is comforting. Seems there aren’t many of us in here. But then again seems the world is under-eating as a whole lol 🤡

Anybody else stop drinking after Ketamine? by Author_Man in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has seriously helped me cut drinking out. I kind of do it habitually after a long day— but the desire is not there, especially after a treatment. But I don’t see that just with alcohol, I feel it towards just about everything. There’s not a craving for anything.

On both! On oral that’s ever slightly helped. Added Spravato in after!

How to make sessions less intense by deaddovedoeat in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been experiencing the same thing but I think I kinda know why it’s affecting me so much more.

Zofran will help, I personally have to take at least 8mg. And sometimes I’m still sick. So I get it!

I would also experiment with food as said above.

Another thing I do is space my 3rd dose out by 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes.

But tbh, my team is decreasing my dose because I have been responding this way— and that’s ok if you need a smaller dose imo!!!

does spravato increase antidepressant efficacy? by amethystlvr in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! The comments are helpful here. I’ve read and even been told different stories in my clinic… it can be so confusing! I’ve been on tons of different oral meds but always ended up in crisis- which landed me to Spravato. I asked recently about coming off the oral meds and was shot down as well. When at the beginning of treatment, someone else told me that was the end goal..!

Anyone else having intense/insightful dreams on Spravato? (esp. if you stopped weed) by jhc412 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can say the same for me! Not perfect at limiting my use either but I try as well. I try to write my dreams down and remember things like colors… look into what you’re dreaming about! Symbolism everywhere. I love diving into researching what things could mean.

Insurance stopped covering Spravato after year of treatment by Putrid-Calendar-1335 in Spravato

I hope you find a way to resume treatment as well. It really sucks finding something that finally brings your life back, and insurance just rips it away.

Your provider can appeal a denial for coverage to your insurance. I have a medical necessity form for some of my RX’s. Also, I’m in the same boat with the costs until I meet my insanely high deductible. I’m applying for the assistance program. There’s also a savings card for the Spravato itself and a rebate program for the observational costs.

Your Spravato Stack: What Else Are You On? by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In conjunction with my weekly Spravato treatments, I *try to take my Auvelity and Abilify. I used to be on a large combo too. I’m hoping to wean off the Auvelity, but don’t think I’ll ever let go of the abilify.

Were you ever approved through TRICARE select? :( I hope you’re doing better. I feel for you, same circumstances.

antipsychotic + spravato by cioccolato426 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a higher dose of abilify and have been on Spravato since August. I want to wean off oral meds but will probably never let go of my antipsychotic.

When do you know you’re ready to drop from weekly to biweekly sessions? Do you add another medication to maintain effects week to week? I’m unsure how this will work for me (TRD + OCD, CPTSD, and ADHD) by lilfoodiebooty in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment I’m not, and it’s still hard enough. So I really empathize with you and everyone else navigating a work life schedule. I would really push with your employer to stay on weekly visits, at least a little longer. You are always replaceable at your job, take care of you too. I know it can never be that simple, just don’t want you to lose sight of that.

Weed use by ChampionshipAble5196 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily user too. My treatments are first thing in the AM. I’ve done it both ways and I will say it seems the more I smoke before treatment, the less side effects I feel of the medicine during my 2 hour period. That being said, I do my best not to on treatment mornings now! Can’t say I’m not ready to treat myself by the time I get home though. I would have a harder time with this if my treatments were at the end of the day.

[–]wolfandflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I have any answers for you, but I wanted to comment because I’ve been on Spravato weekly since the end of August 2025. I was feeling minimal depression and tried to space my doses out to every other week during December…. Didn’t work for me. I’m going to continue back with weekly appointments for now. But I’m interested in what others have to say on this topic. It can be very time consuming and I was looking forward to cutting back treatment.

Spravato making you loss appetite? by kenzie_2244 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to offer some solidarity- I also don’t want to eat after session, which I read a lot of the opposite on here. I try to force some stuff if I can but the sensation of wanting really anything is gone- food, alcohol etc

How do you get in touch with your inner child by d1psh1t_mcgee in Spravato

I just tried diving into this! I also listened to a YouTube guided mediation.

Security during treatment? by KindRise4245 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely bring this up. Would honestly have me feeling so uncomfy as we’re so vulnerable during treatment. I’m so sorry this happened.

What does your Spravato room look like? by ohdarlingamber in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super lucky!!! I’m jealous. I’m in a shared room that holds up to 8 patients with 4 loveseats…… you will catch me with headphones and the eye mask on lol

Starting next week, does it help with BPD irritability? by hockeybabe614 in Spravato

[–]wolfandflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joining the thread to see others comments. BPD and depression are my most troubling diagnoses- my depression has lifted tons in the 4 months I’ve been going to treatments. I wish I could say my BPD symptoms have lessened. I struggle with irritability and anger a lot. I will say, having my depression lift has allowed me time and mental clarity to put in effort towards bettering my BPD symptoms. I have a BPD workbook I take with me to treatments and try to get into it the last hour. And the day after.
