Does anyone have any experience with ketamine treatments? Either as part of a clinical trial or otherwise?

It is sublingual tablets that melt under my tongue. I get them through Tripsitter online. They are shipped from a formulary pharmacy in Texas.

I am presently taking Ketamine at home for treatment of my treatment resistant depression. I have had 43 ECT and most every medication invented since 1980 when first hospitalized. My battle has been long, beyond difficult and alone. After 40 years I found an online provider of Ketamine. I began in March of this year. Within 4 weeks I was beginning to feel a tremendous change. I want to suggest others who are in similar distress as I have suffered to please look into the possibility of taking Ketamine in one form or another. At 60 I finally have a chance at life. I want to reach out with this hopeful new means of finding help.

I would really like to try Ketamine but so very expensive that it's prohibitive for me. Can you provide the name of your online provider? Thanks.

It is through Tripsitter.clinic. I have a month-to-month subscription. You can find information by searching for website. They have their own physicians, therapy providers and the physicians send scripts to the pharmacy. You should be able to find all the info you need at Tripsitter.clinic

Ketamine. Will Medicare or Blue Cross help out with the costs? Pretty expensive on a monthly basis and may be out of the question for those with limited monthly incomes.

I am on disability. Less than 1500 a month to live on. No Medicaid, Bluecare Medicare do not help. I afford it because I have to. It was my last attempt before I offed myself. So I just pay the money and go without other things. It is probably free in Canada as all healthcare is free. No big hooray for the red white and blue is it? But 600 a month is less expensive than 600 per infusion. And when alone like myself, it is quite valuable to not have to get rides. Closest IV clinic for me was over an hour away. At least it works.

Where do you get ketamine?

I have been getting Ket infusions for a year now for depression and chronic pain. It has been the best thing ever! After my initial 6 treatments, I go back usually once a month. I’m given Versed first along with anti-nausea.
