Howdy Pete,
Those symptoms of anger & irritability have been my most noteable & troublesome mental issues as of the past year. And I'm not gonna say it yet 'cause I've only had 2 treatments with Spravato (esketamine), but I think there might be just a tinge bit less of those temperments. Got quite a bit of stress in my life right now, which I'm sure is contributing to my flare-ups.

Were you taking straight ketamine nasal sprays, or are you living somewhere where esketamine has been available?

I was just about to start trying the IV Ketamine, which would have required me to go out of town for treatment, and instead started the Spravato last week.

The main complaint I read about in all the articles is that treatment is "time-consuming" ---
well, I'm not complaining about - it's actually somewhat of a relief to be able to get outta the retail hardware store I run and get some "relaxing" time!
Right now for the month, it's twice a week. Starting next month, it will be once a week. Then after that,,, who knows,,, maybe once a month? Maybe 4 times a year?. We'll see.

Feel free to ask me any questions, and I'll update as the treatment progresses.

Rudy
