Dr Zarate, your research saved my life. Thank you.

I am so grateful for this. It has saved my daughter.

Amazing 10 years later and you ended up being right Ketamine is much more widly available for depression in the US than it used to be.

I've had five courses of electroconvulsive therapy for severe, treatment-resistant depression as well as having tried nearly all the antidepressants on the market to no avail. Only ECT and ketamine truly helped with my depression, and I'd recommend that ketamine be more available to the severely depressed as it has helped me a lot.

Hey, so find a place that couples it with psychiatric care, it's all about the billing. My insurance reimburses me bc part of the bill says psychiatric care, so I'm only paying like $150 per session versed the $250 he charges. And I use my FSA to pay for the rest of it. This is for my infusions... But I have a Dr. I can suggest if Youre interested, he gives troches (at home sublingual). I see him once a month ($125 for virtual visit) and I get a month's worth of troches to be taken every 3 days ($45 at my compounding pharmacy). It's affordable and absolutely worth it .

Bro, this means its not for you. Take a trip to Oregon and try koke and get some friends.

I just had a minimally invasive spine surgery and they gave me ketamine for pain instead of Opiates due to me being on Suboxone because of prior addiction issues, the Ketamine was given along with the anesthetic they used to put me under, after the surgery I felt amazing, had to fast before hand and in the recovery room they gave me animal crackers and coffee, it was the best meal I ever had ! I'd love to try this therapy because I deal with sadness and depression, but I'm sure it's very expensive and not approved by medicare insurance.

Ketamine did not work for me. Neither did ECT or antidepressants. Only thing that kinda works is just trying to be positive. I started reading again and that brought some joy but everyday is a struggle. I try to plan adventures with family and just think about things that use to bring me joy.

Did it several times in Chicago at iv solutions and I can say it does nothing for my type of depression or anxiety but it did heal nerve pain so

I'm supposed to start ketamine troches soon (Really low dose). I have bad dizziness most of the time and, wondering if anyone noticed if ketamine has helped with that? I have TRD / GAD and, some SSRI meds would take away almost all of my dizziness. (For me, it's definitely related to anxiety). The effects don't last but a month and, I'm back to feeling really dizzy. What I'm hoping is if I start out slow, the dizziness will go away. From there, I'd be able to handle to take higher doses. Has anyone else had issues with that and it made them less dizzy? That's what I'm most worried about. It's hard to find someone with those specific issues. I'm running out of treatment options. (Tried meds/TMS/therapy)

Some large foundation and or the government ought to fund a huge human trial study with Ketamine for depression. Ideally,a more affordable ways of precisely administering the medicine can be developed. May a special nasal spray apparatus. Ok.

When I say “ketamine” - the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person’s ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain, through their memories of ketamine or lack of ketamine, and they register what I'm saying... and they say yes they understand, but how do I know? Because words are inert. They’re just symbols.

I wonder if Ketamine is available on the NHS now. I have tried every antidepressant over the years and none of them work for me.

I've suffered depression and anxiety for years. Also moody all the time. Been diagnosed with depression anxiety suicidal ideation and bipolar 2. All this has turned into despair for the last 5 years. I am to the point I don't care if I live or die. To me life is not worth the aggravation. And every time I want to try anything besides antidepressants or antipsychotics it's too expensive or my insurance doesn't cover it. I live on disability which is hell to live on so little. I even tried ECT which I regret. IAM hoping I can try the ketamine if they take my insurance. Otherwise I see my life ending sooner than later. Ive tried so many things and feel hopeless and helpless.

FYI: There are websites where you can talk to a doctor online and get a ketamine nasal spray in about a week for a total of $450. including doctor visit and web site fee. I have tried the nasal spray twice experimentally (one spray in one nostral once and one spray in both nostrils another time) and not noticed any shift but they recommend two sprays in each nostril and I have not tried that yet. This is vastly cheaper than an in-clinic appointment of $1,200. and supplies more ketamine so it may help others.
