I just started treatment in March. The first month I noticed that it was helping; then I noticed mood changes, both positive and negative at 84 mg. Dr. Reduced dose back to 56mg once a week because more negative than positive. They say give it a bit longer. This is the only medication that doesn't make me sick.

Sorry not an answer, but also starting Spravato soon for MRD.
Will be able to comment when treatment has started.
Best of luck. You are not alone

Nice to have "company". My first apt will be either Thurs or next Monday. I'm pretty nervous, not so much about the treatment, but about it not working. I'm told that unlike IV ketamine you may not know if it "works" until 6 to 8 treatments... but I hope to see a positive sign of some sort early on. The Dr. said their response rate is really high, higher than the clinical trials, so that is encouraging. They have treated over 300 patients now and he said that only a tiny fraction didn't continue on with treatment--and that the response is really large/meaningful. So good luck to both of us. I'll report back in later and hope you do the same. -- bev

We had snow so my apt was rescheduled to this coming Monday. I'm so ready to have this started so I know what it is like.
