keep us posted on the Spravato.
I'm due to start in ~ 6 weeks. They're making me try it before I get VNS/DBS surgery done. It's highly unlikely to work because I've had Ketamine (for chronic pain) before and it made me feel belligerent, more depressed, hyper-irritable and just super miserable. Go figure.
You're right about the cost. Assuming my insurance coughs up, it's still $450 A TREATMENT out of my pocket and they require you try 8 treatments minimum (4 at the lower dose and 4 at the higher dose (or vice-versa)).
I love the smell of Abilify in the morning. The smell, you know that chemical smell. Smells like victory. Some day this war's gonna end...
