Meditator/ketamine For Depression (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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.

Well, I guess the rich can treat their depression, pain, and PTSD.
The rest of us will just have to suffer.

Ketamine treatment is WAY out of my ability to afford. I just work for a living. I don't manage mutual funds or launder money for the cartels.

Back to square one.

Hi.
I've been on every antidepressant on the market and gone through hell and back and back again.
I'm suicidal every day but nothing helps.
Saw something about Ketamine for treating depression but I've asked all my Drs in my area (South Carolina) and they won't even discuss it. Then they treat me like an addict seeking crack. These are Drs I've known for years.
Does anyone in the upstate South Carolina, Atlanta, Charlotte areas know of any psychiatrists or pain management Drs who are willing to give Ketamine treatments?
Geeez. I'm not looking to go to a rave with half a pound of "special-k" and OD in the parking lot. I'm suffering from chronic pain, depression, and PTSD.
Please help if you can.

Hi all, I hope I'm posting under the ketamine thread, not used to posting. I just started intranasal ketamine and was wondering if anyone can give me information or tell me how you responded.

My doctors have tried this "combining several medications" route. Almost killed me twice. Most serotonin re-uptake inhibitors come with a HUGE list of drug interactions.
The wrong combination or wrong dosages can cause Serotonin Toxicity or Serotonin poisoning which kills thousands in the USA each year. (many more due to misdiagnosis or attributed to heart failure, Flu, etc.) I had a fever over 104.7 at one point along with violent muscle tremors and agitation. Didn't sleep for over 72 hours.
Stacking medications should be a last resort, period.

Ketamine is hardly crazy expensive there are a number of doctors charging 250-350 per round of treatment and only 8-12 treatments might be necessary for remission. The real problem is that Ketamine is not a cure, it is a treatment so after a few weeks you will need another treatment and a few weeks after that another.

Most antidepressants run in the 5-600 dollar a month range IF you were paying for them out of pocket. Ketamine is less expensive than that.

thank you rikee. i will ask this organaization.

thank you verwon. I tried exercise/work out, social skill train/sigmunt floit method/zazen meditation/Ssri zorft luvox/ any other pill for instance, hypnodoom, debass. in esepially exercise, zazen makes my brain function get better. when I was child, I couldn't speak, I couldn't eat my mothers meal. i evolved so much. now I can eat, speak.

but most severe problem for me is not to able to feel affection to human, not to able to feel happy. finnaly i decided to take ketamine. perhaps my brain function is so crazy. im interested in anti nmda reciepter medicine, ketamine namenda. i know side effect. but I can forgive side effect. im not afraid anymore.

Hello, Toshi! How are you?

While it has been shown to help with severe depression, Ketamine is a very potent medication that is usually only prescribed as a last resort, when someone has exhausted their other options. It carries the risk of causing some possibly dangerous side effects, such as cardiac arrhythmia, bradycardia, increased intracranial pressure and anorexia.

What else have you tried to treat your depression? Some people do better with a combination of several different medications. Have you ever consulted a psychiatrist?
