Spravato in Aberdeen, South Dakota

A Powerful Tool for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Spravato in Aberdeen, South Dakota

If you’ve struggled with depression and tried two or more antidepressants in your current episode without adequate relief, talk to your healthcare provider to see if you have treatment-resistant depression. If you do, it’s time to discover Spravato®, the first FDA-approved nasal spray specifically for adults with treatment-resistant depression.

 

What to Expect

Today’s most commonly used oral antidepressants are thought to treat depression by increasing levels of neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) in areas of the brain that affect mood.

Spravato® works differently than other medications for treatment-resistant depression by targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in your brain.

What to Expect

Consultation

Before you undergo Spravato® in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Conklin Clinics will provide a thorough consultation to discuss your plans and psychiatric goals. If Spravato® meets your needs, your provider will give you a comprehensive breakdown of treatment and what to expect long-term. Conklin Clinics will never push any treatments on you and always provide the necessary information to ensure you are a good candidate for Spravato®.

Consultation

Taking Spravato

Spravato® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray can only be administered under the supervision of a Conklin Clinics provider. As part of your treatment, your Conklin Clinics provider will discuss the risks of sedation, dissociation, abuse and misuse with you before starting Spravato®. You and your psychiatric care provider must complete a Patient Enrollment Form for you to receive Spravato® in a certified treatment center.

Patients can expect to take Spravato® twice a week for the first month. During the second month, you’ll take it once a week. After that, you’ll take it once a week or once every two weeks. You should continue to take your oral antidepressant as prescribed unless otherwise discussed with your psychiatric care provider.

Taking Spravato

Side Effects

The most common side effects that can occur during and after taking Spravato® include:

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself, your thoughts, feelings, and things around you (dissociation)
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Feeling sleepy (sedation)
  • Spinning sensation
  • Decreased feeling of sensitivity (numbness)
  • Feeling anxious
  • Lack of energy
  • Increased blood pressure

If these common side effects occur, they usually happen right after taking Spravato® and go away the same day.

Patient Outcomes

Spravato® was proven effective for adults with treatment-resistant depression when taken with an oral antidepressant.

In a short-term clinical study of adults with treatment-resistant depression, those who took Spravato® and an oral antidepressant experienced a greater reduction of depression symptoms at four weeks.

In a long-term study after 16 weeks of therapy, patients who stayed on Spravato were less likely to experience a return of depressive symptoms than those who stopped therapy.
