Why Choose Vortex?
What is SPRAVATO® and how does it work?
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray containing esketamine, a form of ketamine. It works differently than traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which helps restore neural connections and can offer rapid relief from depressive symptoms.
Who is a good candidate for SPRAVATO® treatment?
SPRAVATO® is indicated for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This means they have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant medications. A complete psychiatric evaluation at our office is necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you.
What happens during a SPRAVATO® treatment session?
During a treatment session our Vortex Psychiatry, you will in the SPRAVATO® nasal spray under the direct supervision of our medical staff. Afterward, you will relax in a comfortable setting for a mandatory two-hour observation period to monitor for any side effects. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.
How quickly might I see results with SPRAVATO®?
One of the significant advantages of SPRAVATO® is its potential for rapid-onset relief. Some patients may experience improvements in their depressive symptoms within hours to days after their first few treatments, although individual results will vary.
