@joy1976 It's great that you have an appointment with your prescribing doctor in a few days.

I've done a lot of reading in reliable and valid sources (peer-reviewed research literature and university websites) about ketamine infusion. I don't know anyone personally who has had ketamine infusions. Ketamine is not FDA approved for mental health at this point in time. From what I have read in the research literature there haven't been enough well-controlled clinical trials conducted to know about the effectiveness of ketamine infusions.

Have you reviewed the research literature on ketamine? Here is my go-to site at Johns Hopkins University:

Will you talk with your doctor about your interest in ketamine infusion?

Thank you for the link, I’ll check it out. Yeah, I’m going to bring it up at the appt. But here’s the thing…the office that does my medication mgmt? They also do ketamine infusion therapy, lol. So that makes me wonder 🤔. I trust my doctor, but I’m going to keep that in mind as I try to find out more. We will see (nervous laughter).
