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

I haven't done ketamine but I've done a bunch of other psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT, mescaline). I could easily believe that it will blast your brain back into whack. Let us know how it is!

It's a tranquilizer. It makes it hard to move and makes you r-slurred. It's pretty nice. You disassociate from your physical body and it's weird
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!

It's more paralyzing than nitrous. And nitrous doesn't give you a sorta out of body experience in my experience

It's a dissociative which falls under the label of "hallucinogen" alongside psychedelics and deliriants.

Building boats in the sand on LSD will go down as one of the best memories for me.

I bought LSD tabs off the darknet once and did it solo cuz none of my friends were cool enough to do it and at peak I laid on the ground with my cat for like 2hrs (probably 30min IRL) and it was amazing. he was rolling around and shit all happy
the whole the beneficial side effects last days after thing is 100% true. I've done it enough to know

yeah, it's kinda freeing of the mind but hard to explain unless you do it. I was always too afraid to do it by myself so always did it with others. Some of my best memories.
