I've had countless therapists, been on every antidepressant you can name, tried to self medicate with all kinds of other illegal substances, I've meditated, gone on therapy retreatsm..you name it, I did it...decades...suicide attempts...hospital stays...pure hell.. 4 months of ketamine therapy...I now have a full time job again, I moved back in with my wife, reconnected with my kids, have lost 30 pounds, and feel incredible....it WAS a miracle for me....I get a booster every few months. That's it...no other meds...the promise of this drug is undeniable at this point
Ketamine is FDA approved, and has been for over 40 years. It is simply being used off label, just like Lipitor and thousands of other drugs to treat things they were not originally approved for.
I'm extremely depressed and anxious with PTSD and am heavily considering using ketamine but want to talk to someone who has done it for at least a year. Would you mind if I could talk to you about it and ask some questions? You're the first person I've found who has used it more than twice.
Give it a try - You have nothing to lose if you are depressed. A single infusion cured me, and that was 5 months ago, and I'm still going strong. Some people only need one two infusions to knock them into a better emotional orbit. That's what happens with me. My outlook has fundamentally changed, and I no longer feel anxious or depressed. I'm working again, and just generally enjoying life. No more morbid or suicidal thinking, best of all. Good luck
PridelessChickz Hi, I am from Germany and i get medicated with ketamine for over 3 years now. I don't know if you are still interested but perhaps in can answer some of your questions.
Had my first home Ketamine treatment last night (thanks to Mindbloom) and this woman explains exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning. I woke up and as I walked into the bathroom, I felt like something was missing, but not in a bad way. I just felt lighter. Then it hit me, I didn’t feel the burden of my never ending “to do list”. I still knew i had a Too do list, but it didn’t weigh me down anymore. Here’s the kicker- I wasn’t even aware of the weight until it was gone. I highly recommended this treatment.
How have you felt after a week? I had my first ‘at home infusion’ (social setting) last weekend and can attest to the depression and heaviness just not being there anymore. I had no idea that my depression would be lifted after 15 years just by a small amount of this incredible drug. I’m hoping that the effects will be long lasting…
I just finished my 3 rd session and have 3 more to go. I definitely feel a difference. I tell people it’s like waking into a coffee table with sharp corners for years and then one day the corners are sanded and rounded. I still have daily issues that pop up but the intensity of the anxiety or fear is not as severe. I do notice some breaking through by day 6 or 7. I am hopeful that by the end of six session, I will have required my brain enough to not have those small moments anymore
@@CroTube5000 the medical ketamine process requires that you have a sober adult with you, to check on you (and take care of things like your pets) while you are undergoing the experience :)
+Salvatore Escoti - "The money is in the medicine, not the cure." Chris Rock - I hear you but insurance won't cover off-label prescriptions for this drug. The Veterans Administration could, but won't. These clinics charge a grand or more per visit... cash and carry.
Janssen drug company is in several phase three trials with Esketamine, the enantiomer of ketamine that they hope wont cause the dissociative effects that drug seekers like. Once (if) it passes the trials itll be an expensive drugs for sure, but somethings got to pay for their R&D
It works, so they charge you $750 per infusion! The IV tubes cost more than the ketamine (which is an old dirt cheap drug). Complete rip off. They should be charging $100 per infusion MAX and even then, they would be making a lot of money!
@@tommyboy1986 proven to be just as effective. Only difference is the frequency in which you're required to get them, but even that varies from person to person. Esketamine, however, is nowhere near as effective as either the IM or IV versions. Edit: oh, and IM seems to have much quicker results. I've heard of people needing 6+ infusions before they notice any signs of improvement, whereas I literally noticed a huge difference within 15 minutes of my first injection.
There are 1 to 2 members of the medical team with you for the whole infusion, about 2 hours total. The place I go uses a Paramedic and an RN. There's also a nurse practitioner or MD in the building. That's not cheap. Ketamine is a drug used to put people to sleep for surgery so they have people monitoring you to make sure you're still breathing, etc... the whole time. Putting someone to sleep is easy; it's the waking them up that takes skill and knowledge.
@@ernestgutierrez6428 definitely not to the extent I was hoping for. I'd say about a month's worth of decent relief but the cost and continued infusions already proved too expensive after 1 trip.
In my state Ohio, the treatment of ketamine through a nasal spray is now covered by insurance. Just talked to the doctor that does these procedures last week. For those who have depression I hope you don't give up!
I had my 6 rounds last year, now I’m doing maintenance about once every 3 months. I was home and mostly in bed for almost a year prior to my first session. I now walk the dog, go to stores at regular hours and I joined a gym. I feel like no matter what comes my way I can face it, even if it’s bad I know I will be ok and that all things ebb and flow in the course of our life times.
For the medical industry, ketamine is a gold mine at those prices. Insurance usually doesn’t cover it either. People are hurting & this should be a Zero copay.
This was recently made legal in Norway, and I'm hopefully having my treatment in a few weeks. I'm a bit stressed, cause after living with depression all my life I don't know how it is to feel anything but sorrow.
1500 for ketamine??? in europe u can buy a gram of powdered ketamine only for 35 euros!! and with a gram you can do multiple session! what a rip off!!!!!
15-30mg is a regular dose. With my ketamin my friends and me made like 6 sessions. and we were like 3-4people. pharma just wants your money, rather believe your trusted dealer tbh!
Desi R. You can also cook powder and take it IV than. 🙄 the high isn‘t any diffrent if you snort it or take it IV or IM. It just has a diffrent comeup speed and dosage is even smaller when taken IV & / IM.
Oral ingestion requires a much higher dose. Sublingual and nasal delivery methods work according to the research, but it takes longer for the anti-depressant effects to kick in. IV infusion is different than simply slamming 30mg all at once into a vein. The infusion process is slow. It takes 45 minutes to deliver the dose, and as a result, no dreaded / sought after K-hole. Look into the nuerochemistry and you'll learn that there's a Goldilocks sort of zone of effectiveness for theraphy which involves the slow application of low doses of ketamine at sub-anesthetic (K-hole) doses. Too much overloads the synaptic clefts with glutamate, leading to something called excito-toxicity. Too little, and nothing happens, or it it happens slowly over the course of days or weeks. The brain is extremely complex, and it's biology poorly understood. Same goes for depression. If your back is up against the wall with depression and your choices for ending it are between suicide, a fist-full of oxycontin, an 8-ball of blow, a gallon of Wild Turkey, or 30mg of Special K, I say go with the K. But if there is ANY way you can scrape together $1500 in credit or whatever and you live in the LA area, give Dr. Mandel or another ketamine provider a shot first. You are much more likely to get a good outcome, and I look at the $1500 I spent as the best investment I've ever made in anything.
exactly. they are profiteering off something that should be dirt cheap. And these doctors talk about 'healing with compassion' whilst making desperate people pay insanely inflated prices....
It's nice that they can have a therapist with them, and a controlled environment reserved for their treatments which they can go to and leave. The price includes a lot more than just the drug
England chose socialized medicine many years ago. In the USA, socialized medicine was going to go thru in post war days ( 1940's); Harry Truman was all for it. The AMA fought it so fiercely Truman caved. The jury is still out on whether the USA has really benefited from the enormous cost of medicine in our society. Certainly it has elevated the earnings and prestige of MD's. Whether they are really more productive?
I use street ketamine about once a month and I always find it completely resets my brain afterwards. I wake up the next morning and it’s almost like my mind has been purified or something. I will continue to use this for a long time because the effects are just astounding
@@meesamnajef6435 if you are new to it I would only use up to 50mgs if you only want to get health benefits and not get high. If you want to get high from it, then use up to 125mg. Any more than that is overkill.
It is sad, but there are those who seem to be motivated only for $$$$ But others, like the one in Louisville KY charge 375/infusion and truly seems to want to help people. The drug is cheap but they still have overhead costs etc.
I'm living proof ketamine cures chronic depression overnight, found it in my 30s, haven't had those can't get out of bed for weeks depressions since my first dose. Injection. Infusion is just a scam to relieve rich people of excess money. Injection=95% reaches brain Infusion=98% reaches brain. Injection approx $100 and you probably only need one, though I did it monthly for about 3 months, then every 3 months, 6 months, yearly for about 3 years, then stopped completely because I didn't need it anymore. Only reason I repeated it is because you get habituated to bad habits of depression. Now it's been over 5 years and I'm completely cured. No more can't get out of bed for weeks depressions, though sometimes I get sad or down due to circumstances but that's normal while debilitating depression is not. I highly recommend trying it.
I had a very bad Ketamine experience. I started having a panic attack, foaming at the mouth and had trouble breathing. My body was almost totally paralyzed. I could barely speak and begged them to stop. It took several hours after for me to be able to gain enough control of my body to walk and felt it affecting my body until the next day. My Ketamine experience traumatized me and further degraded my trust in medical professionals.
Cause it ain't his aim, fool. Doctors are nice guys, not saints. And they are only nice because they are making unreal amounts of money. For a lower middle class schmuck to pull in 500K a year...? Yeah, I'm a nice guy.
If all medicine was free then who will work to produce it for free? It doesnt matter how much you want to help someone if your business goes bankrupt and your services are no longer available.

European here - why does it cost 750$/treatment? If the usual dosage is 0,5mg/kg, for me (50kg) that would mean 25mg for one injection. That costs 4€ for the ketamine here in Austria where I live. Of course you gotta pay the doctor to administer the drug, but common. That's just blatantly ripping off people who think of suicide.
As usual, my concern is cost and access. Our for-profit medical system has failed way too many people. The ones who are most down and out are typically those who cannot afford it. How can we call ourselves great when so many are suffering???

I had these treatments and it didn’t help at all. Every trip was terrifying. I had so much hope this would at least take the edge off of my deep suffering. If anything it made matters worse. I now have horrible panic attacks that I use to have in my teens. I had done my research on this treatment and really had high hopes. Not for everyone I guess.
I went through the treatments and even got the boosters every few months. It hasn’t helped. My depression may be marginally better but not enough to say it was definitely the ketamine. I’m glad it works for so many people. It didn’t work for me and it was my last hope.
Educate yourself on self worth. Practice loving kindness. Get a book “Body keeps the score” by Kolk. Getting rid of depression requires changing thinking patterns. It is not easy but possible. Hugs
Try Jarrow SAMe at high doses start low and work your way up, you can go as high as 1,600mg, in addition to this try Host Defense Lion Mane Mushroom 4-6 caps a day taken 2x per day
That doctor in his white coat in the audience is the same proctologist from Seinfeld who winked when Kramer asked him if he was the holder of the licence plate 'Assman'. I really did not expect him to turn up here.
The spray saved my life from depression as a result of chronic pain. I can't afford the infusions and insurance won't cover yet BUT 60ml of nasal spry replaced 300mg of opioids a day for 15 years to treat the pain from car wreck and surgeries etc. Talk to your doctor!
Where did you go to get the nasal spray. I am so interested in this and I wish someone on here could direct me so I know where to go. I have depression severe anxiety OCD and on and on. All the bad genes got dumped into me. I was the black sheep of the family. I want to do this so bad
I'm glad the spray is there for people who for some reason cannot do the infusions...but most people who have had both believe the spray is inferior. It's only one "half" of the set of molecules that make up racemic ketamine. Furthermore it's just a money grab by big pharma - patenting one enantiomer of K because they couldn't patent K itself, and charging insurance $5000 for a chemical that costs pennies to make. Insane. The stupid FDA should just approve the infusions for depression without sponsorship of big pharma - as is slowly happening in the rest of the civilized world.

I'm sorry, you have PTSD. I have it too. diagnosed. it's so awful. I'm having hypno psychotherapy and it's helping a lot. I do self medicate with ket but do not recommend anyone does what I do!
You should seek out a doctor who can do EMDT (eye movement desensitization therapy). My friend who is a paramedic was cured of ptsd in 15 minutes this way. He's seen lots of pain, suffering and death.
Heaviness isn't an eloquent way of describing depression. Lack of adequate brain activity is more like it. And, the amount of money they are charging to administer an infusion of a very old, generic drug is fucking outrageous. If healing, treating suffering and compassion is this doctor's "lane" he wouldn't be charging this much money for such a simple treatment.
I agree that I wouldn't trust this guy with anything and the whole video is staged, but I disagree with your opinion of the word "heavy" when referring to depression. There are a lot of ways to describe how I feel with depression, but many times the only descriptive thing I can come up with is saying I feel heavy. Sometimes I feel like my legs are encapsulated in cement and at times when I happen to get a good day, I feel much better and much much lighter.
"an infusion of a very old, generic drug is fucking outrageous. " What is far, far more fucking outrageous is that J&J was allowed to patent an enantiomer of K, one of the "mirror images" of the molecule and charge $6000 for a bottle of it to shoot up people's noses! That is the real crime! Sure SOME K clinics are making money big time off the infusions, but ANYONE doing ANYTHING medical is making big money! I had a large mole on my face I finally got removed, insurance wouldn't pay, the Baltimore plastic surgeon I used owns his own airplane and brags about it on instagram! (he was who my primary care provider recommended as the best, and said his procedure prices were actually not as bad as some) At least with the clinics there is a free market...anyone can shop around to some degree. With "Sprovato", your insurance has to pay the $6000 for $10 worth of chemical, buffer and nasal spray bottle. If the FDA were actually a rational, humanitarian organization NOT controlled by those in the revolving door with big pharma, they would just look at the huge body of medical research on racemic K infusion and say, "obviously, it works. We 'approve' its use so insurance should reimburse it". But that isn't the way our thoroughly broken system of crony capitalism works.

I mean this is great and all, but it still leaves me wondering what’s the root cause of so many people’s depression? That’s the one thing that irks me the more and more I see about anti-depressants. I’d like to try ketamine as I think it’s be good for the short term, but I’m just a bit skeptical of its long term use. I’d also like to learn more about the root cause of my depression as well
The answer is complicated and specific to the individual, common causes seem to be trauma, PTSD, and bad anxiety but honestly anything that disrupts your brain chemistry could potentially cause depression.
Suffered from Anxiety, Depression, and OCD for 5-6 years now. Probably longer than that. 150mg of SSRIs daily has proven to be virtually unproductive. I go for my first consultation next week for Ketamine and I am very nervous. Folks, drop your Ketamine infusion stories below and if it helped enough to mean anything. Mental illness is terrifying.
Good luck to you! My story is somewhat similar. I go for my consultation January 13th and if all goes well I will have 6 infusions, 2 times a week for 3 weeks.
@@seantv1510 Hi Sean! The treatments have been going wonderful for me! I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 10 and began feeling suicidal around that time. I’ve had a long standing battle with suicidal ideation, OCD like tendencies, eating disorders (binge eating), anxiety, substance abuse and I’m sure I am forgetting something. But the point is- the ketamine has helped me with every single one of these issues I just mentioned. Every experience has been very different. I have kept a journal to write things down after the ketamine starts to wear off and I have also been seeing a therapist right after the ketamine “trip” is over. It has really helped to talk to this therapist about my experience and we have had some great conversations. Ketamine is definitely unlike any other psychedelic I have ever tried. The first time it was intense and I was nervous and it was a foreign different kind of feeling. By the 3rd one I felt much more comfortable and relaxed. I have had some epiphanies and have noticed a change in the way I am. I don’t know if it will last but I know that right now I am feeling better than I was before treatment. I am dancing in the car sober and singing now… not saying this is going to happen for everyone but that fact that I am doing such a thing is wild to me. I also bring a blanket and a lavender essential oil for every session as a comfort. It has really helped to take deep breaths while the ketamine is being injected and during the initial intensity, even through the entire experience but don’t overthink it ha. I could go on for days about this and all of the things I experienced during the treatment ha.
I certainly love these doctors going after depression. Way too expensive though, this is something all Americans should have access to... It's really the worst disease of our age. Anyone or anything going after Depression in this day and age is a good thing.
It did absolutely nothing for me. Not even a moment of relief . After 6 treatments and $3000+ in expenses I had to stop not just because of its ineffectiveness but because of the severe financial burden.

SSRIs seem more dangerous and less effective than some of these drugs that people associate with partying. Lexapro/escitalopram made my mouth dry, impeded my sexual function and made my mood quite flat. I didn't like it very much at all. Prozac/fluoxetine felt like it was pretty much a sugar pill in my case. These drugs work differently on everyone, but I find the statistics on their effectiveness very unimpressive. We've got to find a better way.

the government doesn’t want to treat us, they want us to continue being depressed and giving money to drug companies that dont have our best interest. weed has been the best drug for my anxiety/depression and it is illegal in my state, yet they wanted to put me on xanax instead.
If it is not affordable for people what good is it? No wonder people give up because the things that work are not attainable for many and it adds more frustration to an already depressed, anxious person. 🙄
One just opened in February in Louisville KY and is 375 per treatment. They are professional, knowledgeable and caring. They went over my son's history and had him meet with their counselor at no charge to make sure he was a good candidate. Treatment Resistant Depression had stolen his life and his days spent just surviving. But this has worked a miracle and we are so thankful.
I've seen huge price differences from various clinics. There are 3 clinics in my area and one clinic was charging $2000 per infusion, the second place wanted $1500 per infusion and the third clinic was $500 per infusion, so you just gotta look around. I have heard it being as low as $350 per infusion at some places and as high as $3000 at others so you just gotta search hard and maybe youll have to travel a little to get it cheaper.

Does it help against general anxiety disorder? Fear attacks? I use citalopram .. it works though, but maybe ketamine can reset all and i can come off of citalopram and be anxiety free for the rest of my life. Please help and answer
Compounded ketamine is cheap! $45.00 for 3 sublingual sessions! With private for profit doctors and big phrama involved its been marked up to 400-700 a session! So much for really helping people!
Yes, agreed, that the audience is clapping on demand. It's like an infomercial for anti-wrinkle products that only the very wealthy can afford. I've also seen ads for investors to partner with physicians, so it's not as this doctor is trying to portray himself--all about compassion and healing. No, first and foremost, it's about making tons of money for investors, and in this case, the doctors are investors first and foremost. With plastic surgeons, it's a different story. They're not trying to portray themselves as saintly healers. With this, because depression is so deadly, it seems almost unforgivable to exploit things as they are. Can't afford a bigger bust or a slimmer tummy? That's one thing. Can't afford to treat a bona fide illness when there is a cheap, out of patent medication to do so? That's a sad commentary on this doctor and all the rest of them. Getting it on the street when you don't know the source, type (yes, there are different types of ketamine), or purity is very risky behavior unlikely to work out well.

I know.. I was shocked to hear that too. And what are the long term side effects if you are needing to take this every 3 months for the rest of your life?!
My mom said amphetamines were really effective for weight loss back in the day and Drs used to dole them out like candy. And barbiturates were really great for insomnia too! I wonder what people will think when they look back on ketamine for depression in a few decades from now.

Ketamine is an old drug and has been used for a long time, including when u have surgery. The Reagan Years and our money grubbing government crazies removed this life changing drug along with other effective, fast acting, low side effect medicines! People are suffering, SSRIs are ineffective: do your research!
I have read both against and for and I want to thank each and every one of you. I only learned about it recently. I’m from the Gold Coast Australia. Wishes I would have known about it earlier. God bless. Good luck to you all.
I was released from the hospital today. During my surgery I was given Ketamine as a sedation. I didn't know what it was but what the doctor told me is that it will give me amnesia and I wouldn't remember what will happen during the surgery. Now this is what really happened (The effect that it had on me): I died, lived a whole new life of being without a body and total loss of control, died in that life and came back to the surgery room!!! I came back in a hysteric manner. When I started gaining my consciousness back I saw my mother who was crying from my hysteric behavior. Even when I was like 10% conscious I started trying to document what happened to me before I forget. I kept saying stuff like "I'm not a human anymore" and "I don't have a body". The experience was the worst I ever had in my entire life. I'm a 32 year old healthy male. If your anesthesiologist offers you Ketamine for your surgery tell him to go try it himself first then see if he'll recommend it again!!!
I have complex Regional pain syndrome and I HAVE to have ketamine on board during surgery or it will spread And if you know anything about CRPS you’d rather have the bad trip .
@@Christinesobsevations I don't know anything about CRPS, but I do wish you well and hope you recover from it soon, or at least have the strength to be able to cope with it. But a quick question, can't any other sedative be used instead of Ketamine? Do you really need the hallucinations? It's not a rhetorical question i'm really asking
@@abcddcba09 as far as I know it’s the only thing available to help prevent the spread of CRPS . CRPS spreads on its own for no reason most of the time Anyway .
Basically repeating what I wrote to someone else. This is a commonly misunderstood comparison. You got a MUCH larger dose to quickly launch you into the K space - as I prefer to call it. This is because for your surgery you needed to be completely disassociated. YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT IT COULD SEEM LIKE A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE!!! For the infusions you are just put into a kind of twilight sedation, you can still open your eyes with effort and I always listen to music and it mostly sounds normal and undistorted. I am surprised to hear that K is being used at all, alone for many medical procedures. My understanding from reading medical lit. and talking to my provider, who is a CRNA, is that is usually only used ALONE for emergency medicine. It's really odd to me to read accounts like your on this thread. Maybe there are some weird sadistic anesthesiologists out there who take delight in giving people a near death experience??? Did you ask him or her why you couldn't have had midazolam, dexmedetomidine or any of the various other sedatives that do not cause a bad trip? Do you have some medical indication for him/her needing to use K? Was your surgery after a traumatic accident? K is sometimes the safest if the patient is on the verge of going into shock, because it is not a physical sedative in the way something like Versed is.
OmegaRage this is something different, it goes against everything mental health patients are trained to believe. Swallow a pill && your brain will no longer be broken.. even people that go off of the main stream medications & go for oils, meditation just all around different options than swallowing another pill to be "normal". People don't like change, this challenges everything "mental health professionals are taught & are teaching" .. although Shrooms, DMT & even ibogaine have already shown great success in treating mental health with hallucinations. Last I knew Special K (ketamine) was an animal tranquilizer or a strong pain reliever. However if it's showing good effects with depression.. why not? My only concern is addiction. That's if I'm thinking of the right stuff.
Well what works - works. It works better than ECT or SSRI's. All the money I put into it basically just paid the doctor (With whom I was safe and the drug prescribed by-) and his overhead. It wasn't that much when I consider my safety and comfort. Some good results are lost by trying to get the same result from playing with it like a toy without a medical plan.
Well, I recently had a small dose for a medical procedure, and had a complete nightmare of a hallucinatory bad trip. In seconds I went from completely alert to all the way down the K-hole. It was horrifying and extremely traumatic, especially since I was not expecting that to happen at all. I'm never going to get close to that stuff again. Any drug that has the potential to do that should be approached with extreme caution. Because once that trip starts, there's no counteracting it, and the patient is trapped there until it wears off, or until they are knocked out with something else.
@@DianeGraft FWIW, this is a commonly misunderstood comparison. You got a much larger dose to quickly launch you into the K space - as I prefer to call it. This is because for your surgery you needed to be completely disassociated. For the infusions you are just put into a kind of twilight sedation, you can still open your eyes with effort and I always listen to music and it mostly sounds normal and undistorted. I am surprised to hear that K is being used at all, alone for many medical procedures. My understanding from reading medical lit. and talking to my provider, who is a CRNA, is that is usually only used _ALONE_ for emergency medicine. It's really odd to me to read accounts like your on this thread. Maybe there are some weird sadistic anesthesiologists out there who take delight in giving people a near death experience??? Did you ask him or her why you couldn't have had propafol, midazolam, dexmedetomidine or any of the various other sedatives that do not cause a bad trip? Do you have some medical indication for needing to use K? It is different than most because it actually supports breathing and raises blood pressure. It's one of the few anesthetics that almost cannot kill you even if something goes "wrong".
Someone wrote about that in another comment in another video I just watched. She saw certain levels in her bloodwork change but her doctors didn't notice or address it.
I'll never be lucky enough to get a dr to even suggest ketamine as an option. Who cares that I haven't been living an actual meaningful life for the past 15 years.
I’ve been wanting to ask my pdoc about these. I’m treatment resistant. Have been hospitalized and undergone aggressive bilateral ECT. Gene testing has shown I have a metabolic intolerance for many psych meds. It’s maddening and I’m now disabled at 46. 😟
amy alice I’m right there with you. I’ll be 39 in September and I’ve been treatment resistant for 10 plus years as far as I can remember. Before that I took meds intermittently but I was also more active. I was on disability and they took it away. Now I’m in the process of getting it back. Things have become so hard I’m at that hopeless phase again where I see no light at the end for me. I wish I could afford ketamine infusions but obviously if I need disability it’s too expensive. I pretty much hate life at this point and just want some damn peace already. Been battling my depression since the age of 17. Not sure I can do it anymore

@@ahmedfraz8324 I have not used it personally since I don't suffer from major depression, but, I would certainly use it if I did and nothing else worked because...I have read enough articles and seen enough video evidence...this is just my feeling and opinion!. Best wishes on whatever. You choose to do!
I understand this treatment works and i bet is good for a lot of people... I just don’t like how the audience claps every 10 seconds, they aren’t talking about any side effects anyone has experienced, and they don’t talk about what it does to you or what it does to the brain. This entire video is very commercial, it doesn’t feel genuine or personable, it feels very scripted. There is no such thing as a miracle, don’t market it that way. The woman being treated with the ketamine barely talks, “less heaviness in throat” **audience claps** what does that mean? She had it done only a week ago, that’s not enough time to know its long term effects, short term effects mean nothing... how about have someone on the show who has had ketamine a year ago? She’s also very beautiful, good for television, probably a very wealthy person too.
This video is shockingly anti-informative and irresponsible. The treatment is so far reported to be effective 70% of the time, not 83%. It should be administered by a psychiatrist, not an anesthesiologist or any other type of doctor. An anesthesiologist cannot properly diagnose depression. These doctors are advertising, not educating, and seriously overcharging. They don't even mention how unpleasant and difficult the treatments are.
no it should be administered by an anesthesiologist not a psychiatrist lmao. Thats what anesthesiologist do, they administer anisthesia....you should be evaluted by a psychiatrist prior to and after undergoing ketamine iv therapy but the psychiatrist does not administer it.
70% was what was reported in one single small clinical trial years ago. each dr has there own protools for how much they inject and for how long and how many days ect. This dr is saying that he's had an 83% success rate at their clinic with their specific protocol.
and this advertising that you are complaining about is a good thing, people need to know about ketamine, it can save lives. Their not advertising twinkies here their advertising a life saving treatment. It's a little different ya know.
This was my dad's dream drug..he had access to many times in his life as he knew people who worked at a hospital with access..he said it did the same stuff as these doctors day because they've been saying it for 6o years...it really brings u up..but if ure an addict beware..at least they're not giving straight big shots of ketomine..that stuff is insane ely.amazinf feeling..better than any drug I've ever taken......but I got liver disease from it so u can't drink on this stuff
Just sit there to contemplate it all after you come back because you're gonna see such crazy and radical things in these trips. That when you come back you're gonna be like what the fuck was that? And you're gonna spend a week just in the shower, what the fuck was that? Cooking your food, what the fuck was that? Driving to work, what the fuck was that? Sitting at work doing your work, what the fuck was that? Thinking that. Trying to wrap your mind around it. Try to remember and trying to figure it out and that's a very valuable process.
Ketamine is used to put down horses for surgery, for one this dr charges way too much lol. I was prescribed ketamine for chronic pain, took one dose and never again in my life will i touch ketamine.
I want to let everyone know that the reason I am replying to this is because I am PikaSnipe's mother, and on March 2nd he had a very bad incident, due to K, and he told his dealer not to give him anymore K, no matter how much he begged. Well, I am still trying to figure out everything, but my son is now gone, and this was on 4-27-23 at about 7:30 s.m. I found him. I have lost my son, the most important, precious person in my life. And it was this K garbage. You DO NOT GET OVER THIS!!! I have asked for help from the detective on his case to help me unlock his phone, because there's a lot of messages. The only reason I was able to get onto this account is because his e-mail is the same one he always used and we reset the PW for that together in January.
The drug itself is dirt cheap. My doctor does the infusion off label for $50 session for drug itself. The visit is doctors visit and I do the regular copay.
I've had countless therapists, been on every antidepressant you can name, tried to self medicate with all kinds of other illegal substances, I've meditated, gone on therapy retreatsm..you name it, I did it...decades...suicide attempts...hospital stays...pure hell..

That's it...no other meds...the promise of this drug is undeniable at this point
If FDA doesn't approve it, then it's a GOOD drug.
Ketamine is FDA approved, and has been for over 40 years. It is simply being used off label, just like Lipitor and thousands of other drugs to treat things they were not originally approved for.
true that!!!

I have ketamine treatments. It has changed my life. I can live again. I've been doing it for over 15 months and I stand by it. It gave my life back.
That's great to hear! I'm happy for you x
That is awesome!! How much were your treatments? Does insurance pay for it?
I'm extremely depressed and anxious with PTSD and am heavily considering using ketamine but want to talk to someone who has done it for at least a year. Would you mind if I could talk to you about it and ask some questions? You're the first person I've found who has used it more than twice.
Give it a try - You have nothing to lose if you are depressed. A single infusion cured me, and that was 5 months ago, and I'm still going strong. Some people only need one two infusions to knock them into a better emotional orbit. That's what happens with me. My outlook has fundamentally changed, and I no longer feel anxious or depressed. I'm working again, and just generally enjoying life. No more morbid or suicidal thinking, best of all.
Good luck

Hi,
I am from Germany and i get medicated with ketamine for over 3 years now.
I don't know if you are still interested but perhaps in can answer some of your questions.
Had my first home Ketamine treatment last night (thanks to Mindbloom) and this woman explains exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning. I woke up and as I walked into the bathroom, I felt like something was missing, but not in a bad way. I just felt lighter. Then it hit me, I didn’t feel the burden of my never ending “to do list”. I still knew i had a
Too do list, but it didn’t weigh me down anymore.
Here’s the kicker- I wasn’t even aware of the weight until it was gone. I highly recommended this treatment.
How have you felt after a week? I had my first ‘at home infusion’ (social setting) last weekend and can attest to the depression and heaviness just not being there anymore.
I had no idea that my depression would be lifted after 15 years just by a small amount of this incredible drug. I’m hoping that the effects will be long lasting…
Good for you!
I just finished my 3 rd session and have 3 more to go. I definitely feel a difference. I tell people it’s like waking into a coffee table with sharp corners for years and then one day the corners are sanded and rounded. I still have daily issues that pop up but the intensity of the anxiety or fear is not as severe. I do notice some breaking through by day 6 or 7. I am hopeful that by the end of six session, I will have required my brain enough to not have those small moments anymore
@@GenxJ1983 how much do you need to be alone? I worry about my dog needing me!
@@CroTube5000 the medical ketamine process requires that you have a sober adult with you, to check on you (and take care of things like your pets) while you are undergoing the experience :)

Ketamine is a very Cheap medicine. The pharma Industry has no interests in a cheap alternative drug that works faster than Antidepressiva.
+Salvatore Escoti - "The money is in the medicine, not the cure." Chris Rock - I hear you but insurance won't cover off-label prescriptions for this drug. The Veterans Administration could, but won't. These clinics charge a grand or more per visit... cash and carry.
i cant find it cheap
Plus it cant be patented..
Use darknet markets, google how to do it
Janssen drug company is in several phase three trials with Esketamine, the enantiomer of ketamine that they hope wont cause the dissociative effects that drug seekers like. Once (if) it passes the trials itll be an expensive drugs for sure, but somethings got to pay for their R&D
It works, so they charge you $750 per infusion! The IV tubes cost more than the ketamine (which is an old dirt cheap drug). Complete rip off. They should be charging $100 per infusion MAX and even then, they would be making a lot of money!
The place I go charges $100 per treatment. They use IM injections rather than IV infusions, though.
@@alexmccray7325 IM insn't as effective as IV from what I hear because most of the med doesn't reach the brain when it's done IM.
@@tommyboy1986 proven to be just as effective. Only difference is the frequency in which you're required to get them, but even that varies from person to person.
Esketamine, however, is nowhere near as effective as either the IM or IV versions.
Edit: oh, and IM seems to have much quicker results. I've heard of people needing 6+ infusions before they notice any signs of improvement, whereas I literally noticed a huge difference within 15 minutes of my first injection.
There are 1 to 2 members of the medical team with you for the whole infusion, about 2 hours total. The place I go uses a Paramedic and an RN. There's also a nurse practitioner or MD in the building. That's not cheap. Ketamine is a drug used to put people to sleep for surgery so they have people monitoring you to make sure you're still breathing, etc... the whole time. Putting someone to sleep is easy; it's the waking them up that takes skill and knowledge.

I had my 6 rounds last year, now I’m doing maintenance about once every 3 months. I was home and mostly in bed for almost a year prior to my first session. I now walk the dog, go to stores at regular hours and I joined a gym. I feel like no matter what comes my way I can face it, even if it’s bad I know I will be ok and that all things ebb and flow in the course of our life times.
For the medical industry, ketamine is a gold mine at those prices. Insurance usually doesn’t cover it either. People are hurting & this should be a Zero copay.
This was recently made legal in Norway, and I'm hopefully having my treatment in a few weeks. I'm a bit stressed, cause after living with depression all my life I don't know how it is to feel anything but sorrow.
You’re in for a pleasant experience! Good luck! And Godspeed!

pharma just wants your money, rather believe your trusted dealer tbh!
Desi R. You can also cook powder and take it IV than. 🙄 the high isn‘t any diffrent if you snort it or take it IV or IM. It just has a diffrent comeup speed and dosage is even smaller when taken IV & / IM.
It doesn't. Oral is probably the best way, since blocking ketamine metabolites from forming blocks the antidepressant effects.
Except that the clinic doesn't cut it with garbage. It's still overpriced though.
Oral ingestion requires a much higher dose. Sublingual and nasal delivery methods work according to the research, but it takes longer for the anti-depressant effects to kick in.
IV infusion is different than simply slamming 30mg all at once into a vein. The infusion process is slow. It takes 45 minutes to deliver the dose, and as a result, no dreaded / sought after K-hole. Look into the nuerochemistry and you'll learn that there's a Goldilocks sort of zone of effectiveness for theraphy which involves the slow application of low doses of ketamine at sub-anesthetic (K-hole) doses. Too much overloads the synaptic clefts with glutamate, leading to something called excito-toxicity. Too little, and nothing happens, or it it happens slowly over the course of days or weeks.
The brain is extremely complex, and it's biology poorly understood. Same goes for depression. If your back is up against the wall with depression and your choices for ending it are between suicide, a fist-full of oxycontin, an 8-ball of blow, a gallon of Wild Turkey, or 30mg of Special K, I say go with the K.
But if there is ANY way you can scrape together $1500 in credit or whatever and you live in the LA area, give Dr. Mandel or another ketamine provider a shot first. You are much more likely to get a good outcome, and I look at the $1500 I spent as the best investment I've ever made in anything.
My daughter is just starting treatment....2nd visit she noticed some lower amount of anxiety. So far so good.
It’s a miracle for pain and depression, it saved my life.
It sickens me that they charge £1500 for this, 1g of ketamine in England is £30 and you can probably find it for cheaper
exactly. they are profiteering off something that should be dirt cheap. And these doctors talk about 'healing with compassion' whilst making desperate people pay insanely inflated prices....
It's nice that they can have a therapist with them, and a controlled environment reserved for their treatments which they can go to and leave. The price includes a lot more than just the drug
England chose socialized medicine many years ago. In the USA, socialized medicine was going to go thru in post war days ( 1940's); Harry Truman was all for it. The AMA fought it so fiercely Truman caved.

European here - why does it cost 750$/treatment?
If the usual dosage is 0,5mg/kg, for me (50kg) that would mean 25mg for one injection. That costs 4€ for the ketamine here in Austria where I live. Of course you gotta pay the doctor to administer the drug, but common. That's just blatantly ripping off people who think of suicide.
As usual, my concern is cost and access. Our for-profit medical system has failed way too many people. The ones who are most down and out are typically those who cannot afford it. How can we call ourselves great when so many are suffering???

Now it's been over 5 years and I'm completely cured. No more can't get out of bed for weeks depressions, though sometimes I get sad or down due to circumstances but that's normal while debilitating depression is not. I highly recommend trying it.
I need this so BAD. I suffer from ptsd from childhood trauma and also having my boyfriend die in my arms!! Please someone help!!
Try and find trials you can join?
What city ru in?
I'm sorry, you have PTSD. I have it too. diagnosed. it's so awful. I'm having hypno psychotherapy and it's helping a lot. I do self medicate with ket but do not recommend anyone does what I do!
You should seek out a doctor who can do EMDT (eye movement desensitization therapy). My friend who is a paramedic was cured of ptsd in 15 minutes this way. He's seen lots of pain, suffering and death.

Cheaper than a funeral. I did 13 treatments. It saved my life.
@@accuratealloys How quickly did you notice results? How severe was your depression? And any side effects?
They charge like it's made from Unobtanium and Unicorn Dust
when I take ketamine I feel the love of Jesus.
What? I was just starting to think it may be worth trying but I don't want to end up delusional.
Lol
Here we are in 2021 and it is still not a generally accepted treatment for depression.
Cuz it won’t really help. People have to change their thinking habits. Cognitive behavioral therapy is required
Heaviness isn't an eloquent way of describing depression. Lack of adequate brain activity is more like it.
And, the amount of money they are charging to administer an infusion of a very old, generic drug is fucking outrageous. If healing, treating suffering and compassion is this doctor's "lane" he wouldn't be charging this much money for such a simple treatment.
exactly I am going to have to do some real searching for this drug but I am not willing to pay this amount
Just buy it of darknet
I agree that I wouldn't trust this guy with anything and the whole video is staged, but I disagree with your opinion of the word "heavy" when referring to depression. There are a lot of ways to describe how I feel with depression, but many times the only descriptive thing I can come up with is saying I feel heavy. Sometimes I feel like my legs are encapsulated in cement and at times when I happen to get a good day, I feel much better and much much lighter.
"an infusion of a very old, generic drug is fucking outrageous. "
What is far, far more fucking outrageous is that J&J was allowed to patent an enantiomer of K, one of the "mirror images" of the molecule and charge $6000 for a bottle of it to shoot up people's noses! That is the real crime! Sure SOME K clinics are making money big time off the infusions, but ANYONE doing ANYTHING medical is making big money! I had a large mole on my face I finally got removed, insurance wouldn't pay, the Baltimore plastic surgeon I used owns his own airplane and brags about it on instagram! (he was who my primary care provider recommended as the best, and said his procedure prices were actually not as bad as some)
At least with the clinics there is a free market...anyone can shop around to some degree. With "Sprovato", your insurance has to pay the $6000 for $10 worth of chemical, buffer and nasal spray bottle. If the FDA were actually a rational, humanitarian organization NOT controlled by those in the revolving door with big pharma, they would just look at the huge body of medical research on racemic K infusion and say, "obviously, it works. We 'approve' its use so insurance should reimburse it". But that isn't the way our thoroughly broken system of crony capitalism works.
Anyone want to give me 50 grand so I can get a years worth of weekly visits to get this treatment? No?
+ʝoɳpaul. dxm is not ketamine although both are nmda antagonists. dxm is dangerous and ineffective.
whats dxm?
you can get dxm over the counter, what does it help with?
which stuff do you buy it at and where/.?
Buy it yourself (darknet) and take it medically
What are the long term side effects of taking this every few months?
Zero. If you take it compulsively it can lead to bladder issues. Even heavily once a week shouldn't cause issues

Less than the long-term side effect of depression which is suicide.
I mean this is great and all, but it still leaves me wondering what’s the root cause of so many people’s depression? That’s the one thing that irks me the more and more I see about anti-depressants. I’d like to try ketamine as I think it’s be good for the short term, but I’m just a bit skeptical of its long term use. I’d also like to learn more about the root cause of my depression as well
I'll refer you to this doc online who got em..

Hes on telegram,
The answer is complicated and specific to the individual, common causes seem to be trauma, PTSD, and bad anxiety but honestly anything that disrupts your brain chemistry could potentially cause depression.
Suffered from Anxiety, Depression, and OCD for 5-6 years now. Probably longer than that. 150mg of SSRIs daily has proven to be virtually unproductive. I go for my first consultation next week for Ketamine and I am very nervous. Folks, drop your Ketamine infusion stories below and if it helped enough to mean anything. Mental illness is terrifying.
Good luck to you! My story is somewhat similar. I go for my consultation January 13th and if all goes well I will have 6 infusions, 2 times a week for 3 weeks.
How did the treatments go for the two of you? I'm in the same boat, looking for answers.
@@seantv1510 Hi Sean!
The treatments have been going wonderful for me! I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 10 and began feeling suicidal around that time. I’ve had a long standing battle with suicidal ideation, OCD like tendencies, eating disorders (binge eating), anxiety, substance abuse and I’m sure I am forgetting something. But the point is- the ketamine has helped me with every single one of these issues I just mentioned.
Every experience has been very different. I have kept a journal to write things down after the ketamine starts to wear off and I have also been seeing a therapist right after the ketamine “trip” is over. It has really helped to talk to this therapist about my experience and we have had some great conversations.
Ketamine is definitely unlike any other psychedelic I have ever tried. The first time it was intense and I was nervous and it was a foreign different kind of feeling. By the 3rd one I felt much more comfortable and relaxed. I have had some epiphanies and have noticed a change in the way I am. I don’t know if it will last but I know that right now I am feeling better than I was before treatment.
I am dancing in the car sober and singing now… not saying this is going to happen for everyone but that fact that I am doing such a thing is wild to me.
I also bring a blanket and a lavender essential oil for every session as a comfort. It has really helped to take deep breaths while the ketamine is being injected and during the initial intensity, even through the entire experience but don’t overthink it ha.
I could go on for days about this and all of the things I experienced during the treatment ha.
It's overpriced, this needs to be made afforadable to the averga person cuz right now only the rich can afford it.
The main ketamine clinic downtown Manhattan from me is only $425 with no consultation
$700 with probably $200-400 for consultation. Yeah right!!
thats New York for ya. Got get outta their. It's cheaper in other states.
This is why I prefer podcasts, I can't stand people clapping every 2 minutes what's the point
Some doctors seems to charge more or less. There doesn't seem to be a going rate.
I certainly love these doctors going after depression. Way too expensive though, this is something all Americans should have access to...
It's really the worst disease of our age. Anyone or anything going after Depression in this day and age is a good thing.
Anyone see bamboo on Ketamine?
It did absolutely nothing for me. Not even a moment of relief . After 6 treatments and $3000+ in expenses I had to stop not just because of its ineffectiveness but because of the severe financial burden.
Yeah, I did 8 treatments and it did nothing for me also. Maybe relief for a that day but that's about it.
How many milligrams? Maybe you didn’t get enough. It rewires your brain.
@@phantpwr I’m not sure. It was infusions. I had a bad response to the first so maybe the doctor lowered the dose.

SSRIs seem more dangerous and less effective than some of these drugs that people associate with partying.
Lexapro/escitalopram made my mouth dry, impeded my sexual function and made my mood quite flat. I didn't like it very much at all. Prozac/fluoxetine felt like it was pretty much a sugar pill in my case.
These drugs work differently on everyone, but I find the statistics on their effectiveness very unimpressive. We've got to find a better way.

I couldn't agree more with what you said. I'm trying ketamine for the first time because of treatment-resistant depression and failed SSRIs
the government doesn’t want to treat us, they want us to continue being depressed and giving money to drug companies that dont have our best interest. weed has been the best drug for my anxiety/depression and it is illegal in my state, yet they wanted to put me on xanax instead.
If it is not affordable for people what good is it? No wonder people give up because the things that work are not attainable for many and it adds more frustration to an already depressed, anxious person. 🙄
One just opened in February in Louisville KY and is 375 per treatment. They are professional, knowledgeable and caring. They went over my son's history and had him meet with their counselor at no charge to make sure he was a good candidate. Treatment Resistant Depression had stolen his life and his days spent just surviving. But this has worked a miracle and we are so thankful.
Insurance now covers the esketamine nasal spray.
I've seen huge price differences from various clinics. There are 3 clinics in my area and one clinic was charging $2000 per infusion, the second place wanted $1500 per infusion and the third clinic was $500 per infusion, so you just gotta look around. I have heard it being as low as $350 per infusion at some places and as high as $3000 at others so you just gotta search hard and maybe youll have to travel a little to get it cheaper.

You're paying for the doctor's jet. And his yacht needs updating. He has expenses too, you know.

With private for profit doctors and big phrama involved its been marked up to 400-700 a session!
So much for really helping people!
@Three fiddy do u use IG or FB messaging?
Yes, agreed, that the audience is clapping on demand. It's like an infomercial for anti-wrinkle products that only the very wealthy can afford.
I've also seen ads for investors to partner with physicians, so it's not as this doctor is trying to portray himself--all about compassion and healing. No, first and foremost, it's about making tons of money for investors, and in this case, the doctors are investors first and foremost.
With plastic surgeons, it's a different story. They're not trying to portray themselves as saintly healers. With this, because depression is so deadly, it seems almost unforgivable to exploit things as they are. Can't afford a bigger bust or a slimmer tummy? That's one thing. Can't afford to treat a bona fide illness when there is a cheap, out of patent medication to do so? That's a sad commentary on this doctor and all the rest of them.
Getting it on the street when you don't know the source, type (yes, there are different types of ketamine), or purity is very risky behavior unlikely to work out well.
She still looks depressed
I just had a horrible experience I didn't know where I was it was

I know.. I was shocked to hear that too. And what are the long term side effects if you are needing to take this every 3 months for the rest of your life?!
My mom said amphetamines were really effective for weight loss back in the day and Drs used to dole them out like candy. And barbiturates were really great for insomnia too! I wonder what people will think when they look back on ketamine for depression in a few decades from now.

Ketamine is an old drug and has been used for a long time, including when u have surgery.
The Reagan Years and our money grubbing government crazies removed this life changing drug along with other effective, fast acting, low side effect medicines!

How was your experience with ketamine..was it helpful..has it any side effects..plz let me know..i am struggling with depression for 4 years
Just had ketamine for pain, scared the hell out of me, Never again!
What happened?
I was released from the hospital today. During my surgery I was given Ketamine as a sedation. I didn't know what it was but what the doctor told me is that it will give me amnesia and I wouldn't remember what will happen during the surgery. Now this is what really happened (The effect that it had on me):
I died, lived a whole new life of being without a body and total loss of control, died in that life and came back to the surgery room!!! I came back in a hysteric manner. When I started gaining my consciousness back I saw my mother who was crying from my hysteric behavior. Even when I was like 10% conscious I started trying to document what happened to me before I forget. I kept saying stuff like "I'm not a human anymore" and "I don't have a body".
The experience was the worst I ever had in my entire life. I'm a 32 year old healthy male. If your anesthesiologist offers you Ketamine for your surgery tell him to go try it himself first then see if he'll recommend it again!!!
Sound pretty awesome to me !
I have complex Regional pain syndrome and I HAVE to have ketamine on board during surgery or it will spread
And if you know anything about CRPS you’d rather have the bad trip .
@@Christinesobsevations I don't know anything about CRPS, but I do wish you well and hope you recover from it soon, or at least have the strength to be able to cope with it.
But a quick question, can't any other sedative be used instead of Ketamine? Do you really need the hallucinations? It's not a rhetorical question i'm really asking
@@abcddcba09 as far as I know it’s the only thing available to help prevent the spread of CRPS .
CRPS spreads on its own for no reason most of the time Anyway .
Basically repeating what I wrote to someone else. This is a commonly misunderstood comparison. You got a MUCH larger dose to quickly launch you into the K space - as I prefer to call it. This is because for your surgery you needed to be completely disassociated. YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT IT COULD SEEM LIKE A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE!!! For the infusions you are just put into a kind of twilight sedation, you can still open your eyes with effort and I always listen to music and it mostly sounds normal and undistorted.
I am surprised to hear that K is being used at all, alone for many medical procedures. My understanding from reading medical lit. and talking to my provider, who is a CRNA, is that is usually only used ALONE for emergency medicine. It's really odd to me to read accounts like your on this thread. Maybe there are some weird sadistic anesthesiologists out there who take delight in giving people a near death experience??? Did you ask him or her why you couldn't have had midazolam, dexmedetomidine or any of the various other sedatives that do not cause a bad trip? Do you have some medical indication for him/her needing to use K? Was your surgery after a traumatic accident? K is sometimes the safest if the patient is on the verge of going into shock, because it is not a physical sedative in the way something like Versed is.
Wayyyyy too costly but hey that modern medicine 🤷♂️. But good for you Judy she is a lovely lady and deserves to feel like one on the inside as well
Hey guys I just got some ketamine from @morgan_drugz on instagram, mans got the best psychedelic products ✌️
WTF is with all the hate here!?
OmegaRage this is something different, it goes against everything mental health patients are trained to believe. Swallow a pill && your brain will no longer be broken.. even people that go off of the main stream medications & go for oils, meditation just all around different options than swallowing another pill to be "normal". People don't like change, this challenges everything "mental health professionals are taught & are teaching" .. although Shrooms, DMT & even ibogaine have already shown great success in treating mental health with hallucinations.
Last I knew Special K (ketamine) was an animal tranquilizer or a strong pain reliever. However if it's showing good effects with depression.. why not?
My only concern is addiction.
That's if I'm thinking of the right stuff.
Because if something called ANTI DRUG PROPAGANDA or STIGMA thats is attached to psychoactive substances
Well what works - works. It works better than ECT or SSRI's. All the money I put into it basically just paid the doctor (With whom I was safe and the drug prescribed by-) and his overhead. It wasn't that much when I consider my safety and comfort. Some good results are lost by trying to get the same result from playing with it like a toy without a medical plan.
Well, I recently had a small dose for a medical procedure, and had a complete nightmare of a hallucinatory bad trip. In seconds I went from completely alert to all the way down the K-hole. It was horrifying and extremely traumatic, especially since I was not expecting that to happen at all. I'm never going to get close to that stuff again. Any drug that has the potential to do that should be approached with extreme caution. Because once that trip starts, there's no counteracting it, and the patient is trapped there until it wears off, or until they are knocked out with something else.
@@DianeGraft FWIW, this is a commonly misunderstood comparison. You got a much larger dose to quickly launch you into the K space - as I prefer to call it.

Did you ask him or her why you couldn't have had propafol, midazolam, dexmedetomidine or any of the various other sedatives that do not cause a bad trip? Do you have some medical indication for needing to use K? It is different than most because it actually supports breathing and raises blood pressure. It's one of the few anesthetics that almost cannot kill you even if something goes "wrong".
Heavy use of ketamine can cause kidney failure and damage they should take this into account as well.

Things have become so hard I’m at that hopeless phase again where I see no light at the end for me. I wish I could afford ketamine infusions but obviously if I need disability it’s too expensive.

This entire video is very commercial, it doesn’t feel genuine or personable, it feels very scripted. There is no such thing as a miracle, don’t market it that way. The woman being treated with the ketamine barely talks, “less heaviness in throat” **audience claps** what does that mean? She had it done only a week ago, that’s not enough time to know its long term effects, short term effects mean nothing... how about have someone on the show who has had ketamine a year ago? She’s also very beautiful, good for television, probably a very wealthy person too.
This video is shockingly anti-informative and irresponsible. The treatment is so far reported to be effective 70% of the time, not 83%. It should be administered by a psychiatrist, not an anesthesiologist or any other type of doctor. An anesthesiologist cannot properly diagnose depression. These doctors are advertising, not educating, and seriously overcharging. They don't even mention how unpleasant and difficult the treatments are.
no it should be administered by an anesthesiologist not a psychiatrist lmao. Thats what anesthesiologist do, they administer anisthesia....you should be evaluted by a psychiatrist prior to and after undergoing ketamine iv therapy but the psychiatrist does not administer it.
70% was what was reported in one single small clinical trial years ago. each dr has there own protools for how much they inject and for how long and how many days ect. This dr is saying that he's had an 83% success rate at their clinic with their specific protocol.
and this advertising that you are complaining about is a good thing, people need to know about ketamine, it can save lives. Their not advertising twinkies here their advertising a life saving treatment. It's a little different ya know.
I’ve known several people who had the treatment and none of them described the treatments as anything other than pleasant.
This was my dad's dream drug..he had access to many times in his life as he knew people who worked at a hospital with access..he said it did the same stuff as these doctors day because they've been saying it for 6o years...it really brings u up..but if ure an addict beware..at least they're not giving straight big shots of ketomine..that stuff is insane ely.amazinf feeling..better than any drug I've ever taken......but I got liver disease from it so u can't drink on this stuff
Just sit there to contemplate it all after you come back because you're gonna see such crazy and radical things in these trips. That when you come back you're gonna be like what the fuck was that? And you're gonna spend a week just in the shower, what the fuck was that? Cooking your food, what the fuck was that? Driving to work, what the fuck was that? Sitting at work doing your work, what the fuck was that? Thinking that. Trying to wrap your mind around it. Try to remember and trying to figure it out and that's a very valuable process.
Who is julie??
He already said 83% success rate...how the hell is that not an answer?
Depends on how ‘success’ is being defined.
It does work. Kinda feels like a reboot where you can finaly get scilence
Cost ppl 750.00 a treatment. Cost doctors maybe 50.00 to give that treatment. Medical and doctors charge WAY TOO MUCH.
Ketamine is used to put down horses for surgery, for one this dr charges way too much lol. I was prescribed ketamine for chronic pain, took one dose and never again in my life will i touch ketamine.
What happened
I feel ketamine has saved my life. It's a very interesting substance. Clinical treatment costs way too much. It's sad because it truly helps.
I want to let everyone know that the reason I am replying to this is because I am PikaSnipe's mother, and on March 2nd he had a very bad incident, due to K, and he told his dealer not to give him anymore K, no matter how much he begged. Well, I am still trying to figure out everything, but my son is now gone, and this was on 4-27-23 at about 7:30 s.m. I found him. I have lost my son, the most important, precious person in my life. And it was this K garbage. You DO NOT GET OVER THIS!!! I have asked for help from the detective on his case to help me unlock his phone, because there's a lot of messages. The only reason I was able to get onto this account is because his e-mail is the same one he always used and we reset the PW for that together in January.
The drug itself is dirt cheap. My doctor does the infusion off label for $50 session for drug itself. The visit is doctors visit and I do the regular copay.
