What to Expect from Your First Spravato Session
Starting a new treatment can feel overwhelming - especially when it comes to your mental health. At Creative Wellness TMS, we want you to feel confident and prepared before beginning Spravato® (esketamine) nasal spray treatment. Here’s what you can expect during your first session.
Before Your Appointment
- Consultation & Evaluation: You’ll meet with a provider to confirm that Spravato is right for you, review your medical history, and go over what the treatment involves.
- Insurance & Cost: Many patients are eligible for insurance coverage. For those without coverage, the cost is $250 per visit.
During the Session
- Administration: You’ll self-administer Spravato nasal spray under the direct supervision of our trained medical team.
- Observation Period: After dosing, you’ll remain in a comfortable treatment space for about 2 hours while our team monitors your safety and well-being.
- Possible Sensations: Some patients experience mild dizziness, disorientation, or drowsiness. These effects usually resolve within the observation period.
After the Session
- Transportation: You will need someone to drive you home - you should not operate a vehicle the same day as treatment.
- Follow-Up Care: Your provider will check in on your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Most patients attend twice-weekly sessions at the start, gradually reducing frequency as improvement continues.
