Who is a good candidate for SPRAVATO®?
SPRAVATO® is for adults diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, meaning their symptoms have not improved sufficiently after trying our least two different antidepressant medications. A thorough psychiatric evaluation our Vortex Psychiatry is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
What happens during a SPRAVATO® treatment session?
SPRAVATO® is administered as a nasal spray under the supervision of our healthcare providers in our Danville, CA office, a short drive from Alamo. After administration, you will be monitored for at least two hours for any side effects. You must arrange for transportation from after your appointment.
How quickly does SPRAVATO® work?
One of the key benefits of SPRAVATO® is its potential for rapid relief. Some patients may notice an improvement in their depressive symptoms within hours or days of their first treatment, though individual results will vary.
