Spravato NYC: Esketamine Therapy for Depression

Spravato NYC offers an FDA-approved esketamine treatment for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Learn how our Spravato treatment can help.

What is Spravato Treatment And How Does It Work

Spravato or Esketamine is a groundbreaking treatment designed to help individuals who have not responded to traditional antidepressants. Unlike conventional oral antidepressants, which can take weeks to show results, Spravato treatment works rapidly by targeting the NMDA receptor in the brain, leading to quicker relief from depressive symptoms.

Spravato is ideal for:

  • Patients diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) who have tried at least two other antidepressants without success.

  • Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

  • Patients looking for an alternative, fast-acting treatment that works differently from standard antidepressants.

Understanding the Side Effects of Esketamine Therapy

While Spravato treatment is an innovative and effective option, it is essential to be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects include:

  • Temporary dizziness or nausea

  • Increased blood pressure (usually returns to normal after treatment)

  • Feelings of dissociation or disconnection

  • Sleepiness or fatigue

  • Mild hallucinations or visual distortions

  • Dry mouth

Additionally, Spravato should not be used by individuals with:

  • A history of aneurysms or brain bleeding

  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure

  • Certain heart conditions

  • Allergies to esketamine or ketamine
