A Solution for Treatment Resistant Depression

Finally, a solution for your depression at Relief Mental Health! We’re a REMS-certified provider of SPRAVATO®, designed to help patients with treatment-resistant depression and major depression with suicidal thoughts or actions.

It works differently than oral antidepressants by targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. What’s more, SPRAVATO® is administered intranasally in an outpatient setting and doesn’t require an IV or needles.

Are there any side-effects associated with Spravato® treatment?

In some cases, patients may experience sleepiness, dizziness, and/or dissociation.

Can I drive to my appointments?

Because the potential side effects of SPRAVATO® include drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation, it’s important to arrange transportation to and from each treatment session. Although these side effects fade rapidly, the makers of SPRAVATO® include this advice on the label:

“Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything where you need to be completely alert after taking SPRAVATO®. Do not take part in these activities until the next day following a restful sleep.”

Patients receiving SPRAVATO® treatments are required to have transportation from care.
