Dry nose doesn’t work well?
So I’ve been with spravato for about 8 months now. It definitely has had its place affecting me in life changing ways that I won’t get into here.
But I definitely agree with my research that some sessions are better than others. My problem is my nose is always so dry, as I work in a cold dry air controlled climate warehouse.
My nose bleeds if I blow it, and hurts most days. Today it’s to the point of being raw on the inside, I need to use some aquaphor. Spravato stings. I feel like the Spravato does not “stick” very well either when my nose is this bad. It just drips out the front or down the throat. I still get some, I have found if I can smell that sweet Spravato smell (it has distinct scent) then it works really good and has stuck perfectly in my nose.
But most sessions its the same as how my nose runs all day at work. I use a humidifier in my room and it helps but not a fix. I just don’t know what to do I guess. Does anyone experience that when the nose is like this, it doesn’t stick and dissolve optimally?
My thoughts are that I have several dehydrating meds everyday for bipolar, then Modafinil for sleep apnea chronic fatigue, extra drying, 1000mg caffeine a day extra extra extra drying. Writing this out I know that’s why my nose is so dry.
I guess what I want to know is, am I having so much trouble with this spray not sticking in my nose from dehydration? Edit: I also try using saline spray here and there and that feels nice. But my nurse said to not use it before spravato
Edit again: I had one session where my nurse had to walk me to the bathroom that’s how much it was affecting me. But most days I am sober and normal like nothings different. I know it still works in the background and what not. But I just feel like I’m wasting it and possible additional benefits
Final edit: I always have white crust on my nostril tips every single spravato session as well that I have to wipe in the bathroom each time. I’m guessing that’s waste too?
