My friend used ketamine and it changed his life. It is amazing what it did for him. I want to use ketamine but poor peoples medical insurance does not cover it. And I can't afford to pay for it. I think it is great you are trying it.

I have treatment resistant depression. I've also had ect. Having ECT was the worst decision I've made for myself.

Have you ever researched Ketamine treatments? Something I've recently been exposed to and am trying, even though I have been very apprehensive about these treatments, I'm pretty desperate for some help with my Treatment Resistant Major Depression. I've read many people have had good results from the treatment.

Like I said meds don't work for me nor does ect. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to go from here.

That is terrible that it would erase your memory that never happened to me but one time I did it and went into a coma. I did it a lot of times but had no success. And now I am left wondering what do I do now. What else is there? Is there any hope? The whole subject makes me very sad and troubled.
