Been so freaking depressed again lately and scouring the internet for solutions. Several articles about scientists working to perfect ketamine as an antidepressant. Looks like it won't be anytime real soon but it's in clinical trials and is said to work within hours instead of weeks or months like usual antidepressants. I've had depression all of my life, even as a child. I am sick to death of being sick and tired and hopeless. I've been tried on so many different antidepressants throughout my life that I can't remember the names of them all. And I've had ECT treatments as well. There needs to be a wonder drug for people like me with major depressive disorder/treatment resistant depression. CBT doesn't work for me and my current meds are now failing me as well. I'm hanging by a thread and praying for a miracle. Ketamine , hummm. Maybe i should see a veterinerian instead of a psychiatrist.

That's an interesting tweak on ketamine - "special K" seems far from an anti-depressant.

LOL, not into the "K" hole, but in lighter doses of course. They actually called me twice, interested in having me come, but it was for 3 months minimum. Can't hold my job for that long although it sounds intriguing. If I were rich, I'd try it. heck I'd try anything I thought would work at this point.
