Dizziness
Nausea
Feeling sleepy (sedation)
Spinning sensation
Decreased feeling of sensitivity (numbness)
Feeling anxious
Lack of energy
Increased blood pressure
Vomiting

After Treatment

A healthcare provider will monitor you for at least two hours. Because of possible side effects affecting mental alertness and motor coordination, you won’t be able to drive, operate machinery or do anything where you need to be completely alert until the next day, following a restful sleep. So you’ll need to plan for rides on treatment days.

What to Expect

How Is SPRAVATO® Different?

How oral antidepressants work

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.

How SPRAVATO® may work differently

SPRAVATO® targets the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is believed to work differently than currently available oral antidepressants. The exact way that SPRAVATO® works is unknown.
