Mitigating the Madness

It’s been a whole month now since I started treatment for my depression using Spravato, and looking back I didn’t realize the difference not being depressed could make in my life. This was my last week at a twice a week dose, and next week I go to once a week.

The dose this week was exceptionally potent and the two hours afterward left me loopy and pretty much comatose. I couldn’t have gotten out of my chair if someone told me I had won a free relocation to Europe and I just had to cross the room to get it…

Okay I would have crawled across the room for that, but you get my point, right?

I’ve been worried about sliding back into depression when my treatment’s drop to once a week, but I try to keep reminding myself that this medication isn’t like the others and dosing is made to be further apart after a time. That was one of the biggest incentives other than it actually working. No need to remember the medication every day or risk falling further back into depression.

I’m trying to stay positive for this next week, and hope that everything continues as it is emotionally wise that is. I’m looking forward to continuing to find my footing in stability and finally starting to live.
