Has anyone tried Ketamine for depression?

I’m so glad to find this group where others are discussing Ketamine. I’m in Laurel, MS which is a small town and so no doctors here are using it yet. I’m 53 and struggled with depression my whole life with it just getting worse and more resistant over last 6 years (AA series of traumatic events has complicated and intensified the depression)
I’ve been searching to find a dr not so far away that I can see to be treated and try ketamine. If anyone has leads in Hattiesburg, Ms or Jackson , MS or Birmingham, Al . I have Humana Ppo insurance

Dr Ashraf Hanna is director of The Ketamine Clinic at the Fl Spine Institute in Clearwater, Fl. I had to get clearance letters from my other drs who’ve been treating me over the last 18 mos - my primary care dr had to do an EKG and liver study, and a psychiatrist had to state I did not have Schizophrenia. Seems like there was one other clearance letter but I can’t remember it Rt now. Lots of depressed ppl and ppl with PTSD and chronic pain have a lot of success with Ketamine iv’s. But I want to report that I did not bc I had a systemic allergic reaction to it. Horrible itching and headaches. I am having to stay on an antihistamine the rest of my life.
