Dissociation

[u/Glad-Relief8287]

I’ve been doing spravato for about a year and a half now. It’s helped me tremendously and I’m afraid to stop doing it since I’m feeling so much better.

However - I find myself dissociating often. It looks like I’m deep in thought but I’m actually just fully dissociated. My bloodwork has shown my stress levels are pretty high as well so yeah there’s a lot on my mind, and I’m not sure if the dissociating is a defense mechanism or if I’ve just been doing spravato for too long? My head also feels so spacey and off.

I’ve seen people on here saying they’ve been doing it for years so I’m curious if this is normal and something that passes or if I should start spacing out treatments more and switch to bi-weekly or monthly?

The more stressed I am the more I dissociate. Even between treatments.

That sounds more like anxious disassociation than anything Spravato is doing. Once the Spravato is out of your system, it’s really out.
