Understanding Spravato Esketamine Treatment
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray is a prescription medication used to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression. It works differently from conventional antidepressants by targeting specific brain receptors, offering a novel approach to alleviate depressive symptoms. Administered under strict medical supervision, Spravato is part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes an oral antidepressant.
Your Spravato Treatment Visit
Preparation & Medical Review
Before your first session, our clinical team will thoroughly review your medical history to ensure Spravato is appropriate for you. You will also need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home after each treatment session. This is a crucial safety measure to ensure your well-being post-treatment.
In-Clinic Administration
Each Spravato treatment session takes place in our comfortable and private office setting. The medication is self-administered as a nasal spray under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider. Our team will guide you through the process and address any questions you may have.
Monitored Observation Period
Following the administration of Spravato, you will remain at our clinic for at least two hours for observation. During this time, our staff will monitor you for any potential side effects, such as temporary increases in blood pressure or dizziness. We encourage you to relax, listen to music, or engage in quiet activities.
Post-Treatment Care
It is essential that you do not drive or operate heavy machinery until the day after your session, following a full night’s rest. The adult who drove you to your appointment will need to take you home. This safety precaution is part of the REMS program to ensure your safety and recovery.

Benefits of Spravato Treatment
Rapid Symptom Reduction
Spravato can offer a relatively fast reduction in depressive symptoms for some individuals, often providing relief sooner than traditional antidepressants. This can be particularly impactful for those experiencing severe and persistent depression. Many patients experience a significant improvement in mood and outlook.
Novel Mechanism of Action
Unlike conventional antidepressants, Spravato works on different neural pathways, specifically targeting the NMDA receptor. This distinct approach can be effective for individuals who have not responded to other types of medication. It offers a new therapeutic avenue for complex cases.
Improved Quality of Life
By alleviating severe depressive symptoms, Spravato can significantly enhance a patient’s overall quality of life. This includes improvements in daily functioning, social engagement, and the ability to pursue personal interests. Patients often report feeling more like themselves again.
Hope for Treatment-Resistant Depression
For those who have exhausted multiple treatment options, Spravato provides renewed hope. It offers a validated, FDA-approved treatment pathway for a condition often considered difficult to manage. This therapy empowers patients to regain control over their mental health.

Testimonials
“I needed a preceptor and took a chance with NPHub, and they told me they had a wonderful preceptor with many years of experience near me. They processed the paperwork, and I reached out to Dr. Ajani from MindBodyPennicle Mental Health Care. Dr. Ajani asked me about my schedule and which rotation I was on, and she told me to come in on a Tuesday. Once there, she showed me around, and Dr. Ajani, in addition to medication management (ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, etc.), also provides Spravato/TMS treatments on-site. Dr. Ajani was open, friendly, and always asking questions and giving you pointers. Also, I was part of several Drug Rep appointments, and it was fascinating to listen to their speeches and stats about their new and promising medications, but Dr. Ajani would have a back-and-forth with the reps. This was something that, as a future PMHNP, you don’t think about. Moreover, Dr. Ajani’s staff was open and very helpful at all times. Hence, if you are in need of an exceptional Provider or Preceptor, Dr. Ajani can help you in both areas. Dr. Ajani, thank you very much for your help and guidance. All the best to you and your staff always!”
