  1. I'm confused regarding glutamate needing to be made higher as hyperglutimateemia is actually a solid cause for the mentioned conditions. In fact most depressed people have a solid issue with too much glutamate and not enough gaba.

    Is it that a lot of poison becomes the remedy?

  2. Nobody should be doing any drugs for depression it's a false perception to believe these people are here to help you with these pills all dope makes you feel good cuz they're all drugs if you got depression you need to treat it the natural way not the pharmaceutical

  3. Another stupidF that thinks ketamine is effective treatment. Its idiots like this that my ex-fiancé who was an RN got research from stupid people like this and hid her serious drug addiction to ketamine from me and got caught at the hospital she worked at and got her nursing license revoked. Being in a temporary hallucinate lost state of mind is not a solution to treat depression or pain you moron! Its also used as a date rape drug.

  4. Spread the word on mainstream media that illegal migration is causing climate change and meat inflation with Lisa of children useless eaters on free food stamps. Mass media stays demand and supply in the process of creating food shortage in the face of profit maximum. Yemen arabs is the cause of this climate change. Arab migrants are changing the river ecosystem, Rivers are drying up like the desert, Yemen arabs are having babies. Entire class of society that only has a lot of children are yemeni Arabs. Pass laws for reducing Arabs immigration too save our water and Rivers in order to reduce violence and have abortion rights from insider Nvidia Taiwan Jensen Huang stock trading Nancy pelosi.

  5. Been using actual ketamine compounded by a pharmacy in Australia for years as lozenges, creams and nasal spray not esketamine or whatever they sell in the USA , it’s prescribed to me and it helps my Eds and Lupus pain and fatigue . Infusions are best but I moved states and they won’t do them at my small rural
    Hospital

  6. Ketamine treatment towards tinnitus is something I have great interest in. Not found many people who have had tinnitus in my life but those I have met, haven't heard of ketamine and of course, not wise to recommend drugs to people. I have had (dependant on setting, intention, dosage and type) the perception or it was real, that I had the capability to split the frequencies pertaining to my tinnitus, increase/decrease pitch, frequency and volume to the point that it almost collapses into nothing… just never had in those extreme experiences, enough to explore further – but without doubt, it has brought me to a better comprehension and handling of my tinnitus. Would be beautiful to have access to therapy or at least clean legal substances to explore further… but hey ho..

  7. I’ve been undergoing ketamine infusions 2x a wk for four months now for my depression, PTSD and fibromyalgia. There have been pros and cons to my experience.

    Up until last week, I decided I was never going back because the caused ongoing lethargy, not to mention I had paradoxical effects physical dissociations And bad thoughts

    However my question is related to my physical symptoms over the past two months. I’ve had painful enlarged throbbing veins in my legs, arms, and hands.

    But the symptom that has been bothering me the most is my extremely red vulva. There is no odor, itchiness, or discharge. Maybe sometimes a hint of burning but barely. I’m wondering if it has caused a change in my estrogen? I only found one Reddit thread on the internet that was “ketamine irritates my vagina”….but since this is such a brand new therapy, and there haven’t been long term studies perhaps this is not a well known side effect?

    It was found that ketamine caused testicular problems and infertility in lab rats but so far no studies have been done for female rats and hormones.

    I called the staff who work at the clinic and they told me my symptoms have no correlation…however they are running a thriving business so…

  8. Is there any studies done on depression likely caused by repeated head trauma? I've felt depressed since the late 80's. Docs have tried many meds in the past to no avail. Infact two of them I had an anaphalatic reaction to. I've had 10 concussions so I'm curious

  9. When I took it before a night out in Ibiza the whole bathroom flooded with green gunge. The toilet overflowed with this green gunge so I jumped in the bath. From the bath when I looked in the mirror I could see my mates flying in the other room. I then went out onto the balcony to listen to music. I looked over at another hotel room party which looked cool. Then I noticed the Grim Reaper standing on their balcony pointing at me. I understood this was a hallucination so rubbed my eyes and looked away. When I looked back he was gone so I laughed. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked down and it was a big hand made only of bone, looked up and the Grim Reaper was standing right next to me. The next day when I thought I was better I went to grab a sandwich and it was pouring with rain. Every droplet of rain was blood. Then there was blood streaming down the streets.

    Needless to say that was the last time I ever

    a) Took ketamine and
    b) Went to Ibiza

    True story.

  10. True. It's dangerous if you take ketamine in big quantities. But those like me will always find a reason to push it further. Sometimes lying to myself that if i go a little deeper i will discove4 something. The ultimate revelation. Sometimes even beliving that even if ketamine has serious side effects i am special and it will notdamage my body/brain. This is what ketamine does to your logic. And I was telling all these lies to justify the next line I would take.

  11. What do u do when even ketamine fails? I've had already full ketamine treatment but it didn't help for my severe MDD. Improtant to note- I didn't experience hallucinations like everyone I know who has been treated with the same dosages as me

  12. “Ketamine schould only be used as a last resort”
    I don’t know much about it but I think they know more about it and they only say because there is money to make… just a business they don’t care about you really

  13. I got a shot of ketamine in the ambulance after breaking my femur. Ketamine is a modern miracle, it completely annihalated the pain, which the morphine shots I received afterwards didnt quite manage to do. Its like it separates your body from your mind and then liberates your mind from your entire being. Not only was I temporarily liberated from my pain, I was also liberated from my worries about breaking my leg, and this actually lasted for a few weeks after it wore off. I was surprisingly upbeat and positive despite my pain. I actually asked the nurses to give me ketamine instead of morphine because it worked so well against pain, but they wouldnt do it unfortunately. Morphine just made me very dreamy and gave me extreme nausea and stomach aches. It eased the pain but it just never really killed it the way ketamine did. Morphine seems to keep my feet on the ground while ketamine pulls my head into outer space.
