My insurance approved me for Spravato (esketamine)!!! I start tomorrow!!!
It's inhaled (a spray) and then you hang out in a room for 2 hours. They said not to listen to music with words & that it peaks at about 40 mins. You aren't allowed to drive until the next day.
I've failed maybe 8 SSRI/SNRIs in my life and I'm currently on an off label (ie really fricking high) dosage of Prozac but still having acute suicidal ideation (SI).
Ketamine is an NMDA antagonist and works differently than SSRIs. A lot of people get relief from SI immediately after the first session but sometimes it takes a couple.
I'm so happy I finally might get some relief from my despair and suffering. I am really reaching “last resort” in terms of what's available to me. I have electro shock therapy left and that's about it. Hoping this works.
Has anyone else here done it?
Edit: I'm out of benefactor awards just fyi

Ketamine won't fix your depression, nor Will any analog. Imo DXM is far better
for prolonged depression 
treatment (see clinical trials of dxm supplementing antidepressants with significant lasting improvements in patients) vs ketamine usually seems to be the occasional bandaid

That's rly interesting. I can't take Auvelity (combo DXM and bupropion) bc I have side effects from Bupropion.
DXM is also an NMDA antagonist btw.

It makes my anxiety go way up but it's probably worth it most of the time. I'm still on the fence about it. I'd try taking it with cough syrup if I just knew what dosage to use.

I tried to microdose
on ayahuasca to self-medicate and it did not help at all. Ketamine sounds like a gentler therapy imo.

Somebody pull up that post from a month ago with a disgusting white hippie girl rapping about how she does ayahuasca and astrally projects. I think we found Snally irl.
