Meditator/ketamine For Depression
(Newest replies first)

I will go to the states to take ketamine treatment for depression. Ketamine is probably a great pill for depression, as recent research indicated. By the way, i am searching for friends who may have the same problem and same opinion--want ketamine--in states. I already tried to commit suicide 4 times. I entered in Japanese military forces for about 6 months, I've done Shikoku Henro meditation everyday 2-8 hours. i don't exercise everyday, due to these struggles. My mind is so much better. However, I feel my limit recently. final solution is ketamine, i recognized.

Why I still have heavy problem, maybe I try to juggle too much heavy stress simultaneously. these stressors make me really sick. If you are interested in my article, be my friend please?

You can post back on here. {edited for privacy}. Anyway I have to go to the states as soon as possible.

Hi Toshi. I live in the states and will be trying Ketamine infusions at a clinic in my area in April. I have struggled with PTSD for three years. Please keep in touch. I know this is not easy. And we need to stick together. :)

USED UP- I am Canadian and a nurse-I DO NOT AGREE that healthcare s only for some _IT IS FOR EVERYONE!!!! I believe this as most of our older health care professionals.....BUT come soon!!!!

We r very concerned in changes and worry a greedy government may bring us back to private healthcare. NO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Also-Canada has "approved" drugs as in STATES eg. ketamine and others are okay for depression in States.....it is OFF LABEL in Canada still...so need to find very LIBERAL psychiatrist-I am still looking-10 years later....but hopefully this will get better for meds as numbers increase to rise at an alarming rate.......BUT hospital IS PAID FOR THROUGH YOUR TAXES-this is a HUGE positive!!!!!! I am praying for us all....and will post possible psychiatrists that you may try....around my area...Toronto,Hamilton and Niagara Canada-God Bless

My psychiatrist in Seattle treated me like a drug seeker too. I went along with his theory at first, then decided it was just his opinion, and that I was the one who had to live with the misery of depression. I decided to go for it; I've had one infusion and will need two more before we know if it will work. My point: do what is best for you. The doctors don't know everything. This is cutting edge and is working for people.

Ketamine is expensive where I live (Seattle). I'm getting IV infusion and the whole thing costs $4000. If I didn't have a relative who would pay I would not be able to afford it as I am too depressed to work. I still don't know if it will work...I will know in 4 days. Don't know what I'll do next if it doesn't as it is obviously the latest and most groundbreaking.

Hi Toshi I have had treatment resistant depression for over 30 years. I had my first IV infusion of Ketamine yesterday. Won't know for two more treatments if it will work. I know how miserable it can make a person feel. Maybe look into the possibility of IV Ketamine as it has been very effective. The pills from the pharm companies - I have not heard that they help, but if they're all you can get, they might be worth trying. My doctor says they don't work and you have to get the IV, but who knows. Good luck, seriously, I wish for your relief.

Ketamine after using it for a year has destroyed my bladder and uterus. It is an experimental drug that works but the end result will kill you. Stay away from it.

I tried Ketamine. I'd just fallen into a K hole then at other times just a little bit getting better. Maybe it is too strong then, also I think Ketamine wont be a brand new anti depression medication in the future. I guess Namenda or some kind of no capacity of being addiction medication like improved opioid category medication. Now I think it's better for the patient just to use marijuana rather than taking an SSRI.

I've already done everything, Counseling, Exercise, CBT, Military Experience, Meditation. Certainly especially Exercise and Meditation improved my brain function so much better. But I also realized my brain is too crazy because of my inability to feel human affection. For sure I have some kind of Asperger combined with ADHD. Namenda which works on NMDA receptors on the brain make me so much better as well. In the future there will be brand new anti depression remedies which work on NMDA receptors and Oxytocin receptors. If you're disappointed with SSRI's, I recommend you to try Namenda (Memantine). It is unlike ketamine so it will never make you see illusions (Psychedelic effect). It is a great pill and I should inform you that Tricylic anti depression remedies are so much better than SSRI. I have been the person with no capacity of feeling affection and kindness from human beings because of brain abnormarity. lol

Hi Toshi, my name is Mary. I have had two ketamine infusions in NYC and felt so much better until I had a family upset. Everything is back on track for me now and I go for another infusion this Saturday July 4th and then the following Monday and Tuesday. I will be given capsules after the infusions since the doctor will be needing to take a week off kinda ruining the idea of having them consecutively, but was told the capsules will help just as well. I relate to your feelings very much. What I think your referring to is called Apathy which I am starting to experience a bit myself. I make jewelry and carve cameos and just don't feel interested in doing anything anymore because of pain and depression. I feel suicidal almost everyday and fight like hell not to hurt myself. The ketamine infusion took these feelings away for 6 days for me and it was the most wonderful 6 days I have had since I was 8 years old and went to DisneyLand. If you use a reputable doctor, I suggest Dr. Brooks in NYC, they will keep you safe and make you feel better. I would love to stay in touch so we can help each other through these hard times. I give permission to this site to share my email address with you if that is appropriate. I wish you all the luck in the world my new friend, and pray we both find happiness because I believe now that it is possible.

Hello Toshi! My name is Charlie and I know this may be too late or maybe not about coming to the United States for Ketamine treatment for depression. it's June 30 2015 now and I'm starting this Friday July 3rd. I was told to just drive with someone who can drive me home because it will be my first ketamine infusion. my second will be Sunday the 5th of July and then the feedback I give will let the doctor know if it's the right treatment to be on and stay on. I hope you have been able to try the ketamine therapy? If so please let me know how it worked for you! If your ever in New York get in touch with me! Well Goodluck to you & hope it does work out great for you! Regards, Charlie

Well, I can't afford the treatments in Charlston as I just lost my job for being on medical leave for 5 months in the last year, so, I'm going through bankruptcy. Disability pay was 36% of my usual take home, and was getting bajor back surgery, then recovery and all the medical costs involved, I ended up buried in debt. I'm broke, in severe physical and psychological pain, and the system spits on me (translate spit into another human secretion) and there I am. I see another doctor for a different opinion and got derided, never got a word in. His bill came today. $350 for an office visit and $1683 for a drug panel. Doctors are corrupt. I'm through with them.

Still have to move out of state to get away from the religious zealots and puritanical governmental policies. They would love to throw me in prison for treating my disease. These godly people sure love to hate and judge and stockpile guns. I had a choice at 18, be American, Canadian, or joint citizenship. I made a huge mistake choosing American. I'm going to apply to return to Canada where human life is respected, regardless of bank account and social status.

I tried ketamine. But not good for me. effect never proceeded 1 week. To me, benzoazepine medicine are just as good.

I wanna try namenda. By the way I will participate in an anti depression experiment in USA. Anyway better off than now, if it were dangerous medication.

And I have heard about drugs like "Molly" fixing depression.
