What Is SPRAVATO®?

SPRAVATO® is a prescription nasal spray derived from ketamine and approved by the FDA for use alongside an oral antidepressant.


Unlike traditional antidepressants that primarily affect serotonin, SPRAVATO® works on the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a key role in mood regulation and neural communication.

  • FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression
  • Used in combination with oral antidepressants
  • Administered only in certified medical settings
  • Supervised by trained psychiatric providers

Think of it like rebooting a frozen computer. Rather than slowly correcting one function, SPRAVATO® helps reset disrupted neural pathways more rapidly.

How SPRAVATO® Treatment Works

Blue number

  • Thorough Evaluation

    Before treatment begins, your provider conducts a detailed psychiatric assessment, reviewing your:


    • Mental health history
    • Previous medication trials
    • Current symptoms and safety considerations

  • In-Clinic Administration

    SPRAVATO® is self-administered under medical supervision in our clinic. For safety, patients are monitored for at least two hours after each session before being cleared to leave.

    Your provider will evaluate the best course of action and communicate with you at every stage.

  • Ongoing Psychiatric Support

    SPRAVATO® is always combined with oral antidepressant therapy and regular provider follow-ups. Symptoms, side effects, and response are closely monitored, and you will need a ride home after each appointment.


    SPRAVATO® is always combined with:


    • Oral antidepressant therapy
    • Regular provider check-ins
    • Symptom tracking and adjustments

    After treatment, you may experience side effects like dissociation, dizziness, nausea, sedation, or increased blood pressure. These effects typically resolve on the same day, but you will need a ride home after each appointment.


What Does SPRAVATO® Feel Like?

Experiences with SPRAVATO® can vary from person to person. Some patients report these side effects:

RELAXATION OR DROWSINESS

These effects are expected and usually resolve within hours of the treatment session. But you will need someone to drive you home.



Before treatment begins, your provider will review what to expect so there are no surprises. Throughout your appointment, trained clinical staff will always be present to ensure your comfort and safety and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to always help you feel safe and supported so you can stay focused on finding the relief you deserve.

SPRAVATO® FAQ

  • Is SPRAVATO® the same as ketamine therapy?

    SPRAVATO® is a specific FDA-approved formulation of esketamine with strict safety guidelines. It is different from IV ketamine treatments.

  • How quickly does SPRAVATO® work?

    SPRAVATO® is designed to act more quickly than standard antidepressants, but every patient is different. Some people report symptom relief within 24 hours to a few days, while others require multiple treatments over several weeks to experience meaningful improvement.

  • Do I need to stop my current antidepressant?

    No. SPRAVATO® is used alongside an oral antidepressant as part of a combined treatment plan.

  • Can I drive myself home after SPRAVATO® treatment?

    No. Due to temporary side effects, a ride home is required after every appointment to keep you safe.
