Default Hi Sandel,

It sounds like it has a long way to go to be used for depression due to the side effects. Every med has them though so it may eventually be used for the depression. They give us meds to help us then give us meds to counteract the side effects.

Thanks for the great info.

Ada

Hi Ada,

As a long term Ketamine patient I can verify the antidepressive nature of the drug as a pleasant side affect.
Ketamine is actually a drug that has very few other side effects if used in a supervised hospital environment.
The very short half life of Ketamine ensures that any unpleasant side effets that maybe experienced are quickly nipped in the bud by turning down the infusions, this provides instant relief.

Cheers Tayla
