Do you have experience with ketamine treatments?

Hi. My depression is intolerable right now. I started ketamine infusion therapy last August. It helped initially, but it has not really worked for me in about 7 months. I still went to the same clinic for 11 months, which I'm learning is a ketamine mill. I spoke with another doctor/clinic who does intramuscular ketamine treatments and who monitors dosing and patients' reactions very carefully during the treatment (my former clinic did not at all). I swore I wouldn't try ketamine again, after this last run failed and seemed to make me even more depressed. But I have some hope with this new clinic who seems to know what they're doing. I am at the end of my rope here; very depressed. I'm wondering if anyone else on here has experience with this treatment?

God bless you and your husband. The book is sold online for about $20 and has a work book with it. I don't read many books but I was so different before, and then after the addiction that I couldn't figure out what happened to me in 10.5 months. After a couple of sessions with Trauma therapist, he told me to "Forgive myself". I hated what happened and blamed myself. This was a major source of my depression. I kept thinking, "How could I be so stupid"? The therapist said I didn't do it to myself that was what Percocet is designed to do, alter the brain chemistry. Ketamine therapy allowed me to neutralize my anger and shame and start to undo what Percocet had done. It started to make sense that if my brain was twisted up I could untwist it. With commitment I have certainly come a long way and now have a partial (still more to learn) understanding of how my mind works and of the positive results that can come from practicing and establishing better habits of thinking, etc.
