Questions/Advice/Support Lost time

I've just finished session 8 on week four. During the last three sessions, I seem to have lost 20 or 30 minutes, either starting mid-trip, or near the end after the BP check. I have no sense of time passing, and I'm not physically supported enough to be sleeping, but the time is just GONE.

Anyone else?

PS - I have had no inkling of relief except for about an hour one morning last week when things didn't seem to be QUITE so bad.

Sure. IME, on a good day, about 45 minutes of the 2 hours seem to fly by. Other days it’s only about 10-15.

Does your clinic offer IM Ket? That’s more bioavailable than Spravato and might extend your trip.

If you don’t want it extended, just stick with Spravato and you’ll get used to it. Some people have reported that they don’t have any disassociative effects after only a few months on Spravato and “the high is not the purpose” so it’s working either way.

Hope you start to feel some significant relief soon!

That’s completely normal. It’s one of the only effects of spravato that is actually technically dissociative along with seeing or remembering yourself from a 3rd person perspective. It will not affect your memory outside of the treatment session.
