@sprinsse Ive been depressed off and on since my mom passed in 1988. I couldn't tell you how many antidepressants I've tried. My psychiatrist asked me a few weeks ago if ID like to try ECT or ketamine. I thought briefly about ECT then dismissed it. I dont need to have my brains scrambled anymore than they already are. Then I started looking at ketamine and looking at videos on YouTube. It really looked like it could work. I also discovered that the injections had to be done every day and were pretty expensive, and I don't think my insurance pays for it. But, it looked so promising. I would like to be rid of the fatigue and constant loneliness. If you find out any info could you put out a little post? I want to try this. 😋
Thanks, @dannybee

I have had depression and anxiety since I was in high school if not earlier. I am in my 60’s now and been on an anti-depressant for a very long time. I still struggle quite a bit so someone suggested ketamine treatments. I took them for over two months starting with twice a week for four weeks and then once a week. They were a very strange experience for about 20 minutes each time. They told me everyone’s reaction is different so I gave it a really good try. Unfortunately, for me, it did not work. I am told it works for some people, but there are no guarantees. That is my experience with ketamine, another person’s may be different.
