I was told by my Psychologist to check into the nasal spray. I did and was really shocked of the lack of knowledge and what it really is. It’s called esketamine, allegedly a pure form of Ketamine (Spraveto). You have to have someone drive you there and session is 2 hours long, and someone has to pick you up. I asked why, I was told because it is a form of anesthesia. Wow, A requirement to start the program requires you be on an antidepressant,can’t take Adderall 1 day before an appointment, can’t eat or drink before a session. Xanax and Klonopin makes the nasal spray less effective. First 4 weeks you have to go two days a week. Start you with 56 mg and up to 84 mg, depending on the patient. No blood work or work up prior and that was shocking. Initially pushed through for authorization for Vets with depression and PTSD in 2019 and against recommendations from many experts in the military,due to lack of studies. A small group in small trial,revealed some commited suicide after a few sessions. Nevertheless, still pushed through and the manufacturer is Johnson & Johnson . This information I was told as I contacted a recommended clinic in Tampa. No way, and shocking. Do your homework on these alleged treatments and how everyone is different and other conditions known or not known about and how this stuff can create more damage

I tried the Kettamine nasal spray and it didn't do a thing but cost me $100! I think think what you are talking about is probably and infusion type of treatment. I would be wary too. The only thing I can think of is desperate pain for desperate measures.
