I started Spravato two weeks ago. My most recent treatment was on Wednesday in the morning. On Friday morning before actually waking up, I had sleep paralysis. It happened once and then I woke up, but I feel asleep again with probably 5 minutes and it happened again.

It was super scary, but I’ve had it before it’s just been a while so I forgot.

Has anyone had this? Does anyone know how to prevent it? I’ve had a sleep study within the past 3 years and it showed no sleep apnea, but borderline idiopathic hypersomnia.

I started Spravato 2 weeks ago and I don’t have a therapist. During my appointment with my psychiatrist, he said I should get a therapist.

The problem is that iv tried countless therapists over the past 15 years and I hate them all. I hate talk therapy. It doesn’t help me. I don’t need to process things. I don’t need to talk about my feelings. I don’t need someone to tell me how to think. I’ve tried CMT and I don’t like it. I love tried DBT and I don’t like it. I’ve tried EMDR and I don’t like it.

I’m glad it helps other people, but it’s just very much bot for me.

Does anyone feel the same? Are there other techniques that help you besides talk therapy? Or should I just continue to do my own thing? Thanks

Hi! I just got done with my second week of Spravato. Some days I’m pretty good, but other days I’m so depressed or angry. I would say it’s even worse than before I started Spravato.

I feel like I’m having insane mood swings. I feel like I can’t keep my feelings to myself. Like if something someone is doing is bothering me, I straight up tell them because I have no time for their bs.

Idk I’m just not sure if Spravato is working for me or not yet. The first few days I thought it was because I started to work out again, but that only lasted two days and my right back to being depressed and feeling like bad and insecure about myself.

Does anyone have any insight? Is Spravato just not for me or do I need to be more patient?

Hi! I started Spravato on Wednesday, and today was my second dose. My first session was 56 mg and today I received 84 mg. I felt totally fine during both treatments, but a few hours afterward I became irritable, a bit anxious, my muscles felt tight, my heart rate was elevated (but still manageable), and I felt really restless.

After my first dose I was unable to fall asleep, even with two sleeping medications that normally knock me out. Tonight—after my second dose—the restlessness is back. It’s not unbearable, but I really just want to relax and get some sleep if possible. I’ve already tried tea and a bath.

Does anyone have suggestions for easing this post‑treatment restlessness? Thanks!

Has anyone bought Halara off tik tok shop? I’m very interested in trying out some of the clothes from Halara, but I’m currently undergoing a medical treatment that makes finding clothes that fit my body difficult. I’ve heard horror stories about their return policy, but on tik tok shop it says there is free returns for Halara. Can anyone actually verify this? I don’t have the money to not be able to return something if it doesn’t fit. Any advice? Thank you!
