Does this have a withdrawal?
Post Body

So I started the Spravato about 6 weeks ago. The first 4 weeks were monday and friday doses and things were going well. Then they shifted me to just once a week on mondays. Last week was week 5 and that friday around 4PM I felt a major withdrawal from the meds. I was depressed again, I felt the weight of the world on me. The rest of the weekend I was grouchy and irritable and also itchy. I was pretty miserable. I mentioned all this to my clinic on monday when got the dose for week 6. They didn't seem to have information on any type of withdrawal from going from twice a week to once a week.

It is now thursday and I am really worried that I only have a day left of effectiveness, before I get slammed back to depression land tomorrow afternoon. I don't want that, I hate feeling that way.

Is this common? Has anyone else experienced something like this?
I'm also worried about what this means for when they taper me off to every other week, and it looks like they will eventually stop the treatment, and being depressed again just isn't gonna work for me anymore.
