Hi @Babyface
It may be something to bring up with your doctor? Or search for a clinic that can better advise for your particular situation. 🙂
Take care,

Hey, how goes it?? I've been on antidepressants since Prozac & forward. Don't get much relief. I'd considered ketamine, & or mushrooms. Latter can have drastic side effects!! Maybe not... Ketamine, maybe can approach w psych, yet have reservations. He thinks meds work. I don't. Thoughts?? Appreciate.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
You may have heard of ketamine therapy. In 2019, it was approved by the FDA for use in treatment-resistant depression: severe depression that has not improved via other therapies.
The prescription version is called esketamine (Spravato) and is given through a nasal spray and is only administered under the supervision of a health care provider in a certified doctor's office or clinic.
Relief from TRD with ketamine happens rapidly. Instead of waiting for an SSRI to hopefully provide some relief over the course of weeks, people who are suffering under the crushing weight of depression can start to feel the benefits of ketamine within about 40 minutes.
It's important to remember that ketamine isn't a first-option treatment for depression, and it is generally used only when other, more longstanding treatments haven't been effective.
