Different NMDA antagonists have different effects. I never heard of magnesium causeing schizophrenia or paranoia, or euphoria for that matter.
I would think that NMDA antagonism is only one of the theraputic effects of ketamine.
I never understood how NMDA antagonists could be neurotoxic. Seems kindof paradoxical.
