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

Tried shrooms? I don't remember that post
Hope ketamine helps.
Why not just start over somewhere new, try a different life you are happier with?
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!

I've tried them, even grew them. They helped immensely. I am too scared to go off the Prozac to do it (doesn't work while on SSRIs) since I get worse really quickly and it takes a month to get Prozac out of your system. But thank you and yes shrooms are great!

What about dmt? It's been a while but the acid/base extraction was pretty easy to do and you can buy the plants/roots that contain high amounts pretty easy and it's not illegal to buy them. My gf was looking at ketamine and there are websites that will send it to you at home. You talk to an online shrink and give them your license they send it to you if you don't want to go somewhere to do it. Might not be bad to be supervised at first. I feel like it's not something that's going to make you panic or anything but falling or hurting yourself is a real possibility if you don't know how it's going to affect you.

Saved your comment. Thanks for advice. I'm also almost at my OOP max so may as well bill insurance and get it for free lol I know I can use mindbloom in the future though.
