Anyone ever tried or do Ketamine therapy?

Been reading a bit about this for depression. Wondering if anyone has first hand knowledge about it and if it works. I hate the sides from Lexapro even at my small dosage.

I knew one person who had some moderate success. However he was also very clear that there is a very, very fine line with using low dosages for depression and getting addicted. So if you have an addictive type personality, it didn't sound like a good idea.

Did he do pills, IV therapy or the nasal spray do you know?
I don't have an addictive personality at all, but if it doesn't work I don't want to waste the money. They do IV therapy here, they say you need 6 treatments and they are 600 each. They say you need them 2 times a week for 3 weeks.

IME it is not for self treatment and beneficial with the care and supervision of a great KAT which I am fortunate to have. It’s about neuroplasticity and remapping your brains wiring to allow you to properly process old deep seated traumas that plague you in the present.

I (we) grew up with sexual physical and psychology abuse. I spent most my life self medicating and underachieving while my brother was an workaholic overachiever.

5 years ago at the age 51 and 53 respectively my little brother took his life with a single gunshot under the chin. I spent the first year lying beside him in his gasket buried in the ground.

I was destroyed in every capacity. My heart was broken to pieces. My mind could not conceive a life without him. The pain manifested itself physically to the point I hurt everywhere.

Thanks to my therapist, my fearless and painful hard work and the use of ketamine I am healing today.

I suggest getting educated on how and why ketamine work and understand the prerequisite work it requires to truly get healing.

I know a guy who was a 20-year junkie that has been completely sober now for 3 years after treatment

Brother, keep that chin up and continue to heal. Life can be HORRIFIC. Finding a healthy way to cope is home base during these times. The above quote is spot on.

I’m not a KAT guy but close. I’ve commented a bit in the past on what worked for me. I started tempting death at a young age and became a big ball of insanity by the end. Some guys have personally reached out about my 🍄 usage and all I can tell them is what works for one may not work for another and if it works, I don’t knock it. I know one thing is certainly true…. It helps greatly to back it up with some action. For some that can be therapy because the proverbial fog has lifted and walls have crumbled that were prior hindrances to growth; the type of healing we are referring to here. Serious shit.

I see KAT therapy continuing to grow and it’s not stopping. I know two vets enrolled in a trial program and both have been helped when they believed there to be nothing out there by that point . That’s huge IMO.

A lot of people alone and hurting out there. Hopefully they can find a way out of the cycle and get back to living rather than surviving.

I have finished my 6 session, been only a few weeks since I finished but so far it's incredible. Lift changing for sure. I'll keep people updated. But so far a very well spent 3600 bucks

Something I was curious about also. Been through some wild shit and that trauma drove a adult long life addiction I barely have a handle on for today. Seeking options to get through the deep shit.

What Ketamine can do is allow you to sit in the bad shit that happened and feel it and process it healthily - truth about what it is, who you are, how it felt and feel it. Trauma causes us to shut down and not feel. You have to feel it.

ketamine promotes nueroplasticity which allows your brain to “process” the experience rather than experience and own the pain. Give it a name!

It’s not like the bros who self administered TRT. It’s not recreational. It is most effective when done in conjunction with a therapist who can help you see what you don’t and help remove your blind spots and confusion that is common with trauma when we dig real deep.

its a lot of hard work. I shared my experience above FWIW. Good luck!
