Spravato® Treatment in Bloomingdale & Crystal Lake, IL
Advanced Relief for Treatment-Resistant Depression
If you’re struggling with depression that hasn’t responded to traditional antidepressants, Spravato® (esketamine) may be the breakthrough treatment you’ve been waiting for. At The Center for Integrative and Functional Health and Wellness in Bloomingdale, IL, we provide Spravato therapy as part of a comprehensive mental health care plan, also accessible via telehealth consultations for Crystal Lake, IL residents.
What Is Spravato®?
Spravato® is an FDA-approved nasal spray designed for adults with:
- Treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior
Unlike traditional antidepressants, Spravato® works on a different brain pathway—targeting NMDA receptors—to help regulate mood more quickly. Many patients report improvement in symptoms within hours to days.
How Spravato® Treatment Works
- Administration: Self-administered nasal spray in a certified medical office under supervision.
- Monitoring: Patients are observed for at least 2 hours post-dose to ensure safety.
- Integration: Always paired with an oral antidepressant and ongoing therapy or counseling.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information I should know about SPRAVATO®?
SPRAVATO® can cause serious side effects, including:
- Sedation and dissociation. SPRAVATO® may cause sleepiness (sedation), fainting, dizziness, spinning sensation, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself, your thoughts, feelings, space and time (dissociation).
- Tell your healthcare provider right away if you feel like you cannot stay awake or if you feel like you are going to pass out.
- Your healthcare provider must monitor you for serious side effects for at least 2 hours after taking SPRAVATO®. Your healthcare provider will decide when you are ready to leave the healthcare setting.
- Abuse and misuse. There is a risk for abuse and physical and psychological dependence with SPRAVATO® treatment. Your healthcare provider should check you for signs of abuse and dependence before and during treatment with SPRAVATO®.
- Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines, or street drugs.
- Your healthcare provider can tell you more about the differences between physical and psychological dependence and drug addiction.
- SPRAVATO® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Because of the risks for sedation, dissociation, and abuse and misuse, SPRAVATO® is only available through a restricted program called the SPRAVATO® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. SPRAVATO® can only be administered at healthcare settings certified in the SPRAVATO® REMS Program and to patients enrolled in the program.
- Increased risk of suicidal thoughts or actions. SPRAVATO® may cause worsening of depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, especially during the first few months of treatment and when the dose is changed. Depression and other serious mental illnesses are the most important causes of suicidal thoughts and actions. Some people may have a higher risk of having suicidal thoughts or actions. These include people who have (or have a family history of) depression or a history of suicidal thoughts or actions.
- How can I watch for and try to prevent suicidal thoughts and actions?
- Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behavior, thoughts, or feelings, or if you develop suicidal thoughts or actions.
- Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any new or sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts, or feelings.
- Keep all follow-up visits with your healthcare provider as scheduled. Call your healthcare provider between visits as needed, especially if you have concerns about symptoms.
- Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you:
- attempts to commit suicide
- thoughts about suicide or dying
- worsening depression
- Other unusual changes in behavior or mood
