Have previous antidepressant treatments failed to mitigate your major depressive disorder (MDD)? If you've tried two or more without success, you may eligible for Spravato, an esketamine nasal spray that is taken in combination with an oral antidepressant. 

Because of the risk of sedation and/or dissociation, patients receiving esketamine nasal spray must remain under professional supervision for at least two hours after administration of each dose. You must arrange for transportation from the office after receiving Spravato, as the operation of vehicles or heavy machinery is inadvisable.
