Hello, Vendy! How are you?

Yes, it can be used to treat major depression in people that haven't responded to other medications and treatments. It produces a rather rapid antidepressant effect, working within a few hours, as compared to several weeks for traditional antidepressants.

Its side effects may include nausea, blurred vision, erythema and vivid dreaming.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
