What is Spravato?

Spravato (esketamine) is a prescription nasal spray. The spray may be a treatment option for depression that’s difficult to manage with oral medications.

Spravato works by targeting the NMDA receptors in your brain to improve communication between neurons in your brain. The medication can also create new neural pathways to improve your overall mental health.

Peak Interactive Wellness offers customized treatment plans using Spravato to address symptoms of depression. The experienced mental health specialists provide comprehensive health evaluations to determine if Spravato is a good fit for you.

Am I a candidate for Spravato?

You may be a candidate for Spravato if you try several types of oral antidepressants to manage depression symptoms, but they aren’t working well.

Symptoms of depression can include:

• Persistent sadness
• Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
• Irritability or agitation
• Loss of interest in activities
• Sleep problems
• Difficulties concentrating
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

You may not be a candidate for Spravato if you have allergies to esketamine or ketamine, blood vessel disease, or a history of bleeding in the brain.

If Spravato is an option for your treatment, the team enrolls you in the Spravato Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program before your treatment begins. Spravato treatments are only available through this restricted distribution program to ensure your safety.

What can I expect during a Spravato treatment?

The Peak Interactive Wellness team helps you navigate your mental health journey and guides you to peak wellness during your in-office Spravato session. They provide you with items to keep you comfortable such as:

• Earplugs
• Eye mask
• A cozy blanket
• Comforting music
• Aromatherapy
• Journal
• Mints

Feel free to bring along water, something to write with, and headphones.

You can expect to set your intention for treatment with your provider before settling into a comfortable recliner in a private pod. The team administers your Spravato treatment while you relax and listen to music on your headphones.

After your session ends, the providers monitor your health before you can go home. You need someone to drive you home from your treatment to ensure your safety.
