In reply to Write up in NATURE about ketamine - LONG, posted by madeline on November 28, 2006, at 12:55:31
Apparently ketamine also raises magnesium, unlike memantine ketamine resets the HPA axis and increases dopamine, the only things that have similar eefects on the NMDA system are magnesium itself and possibly l-theanine?!
Contrary to what is archived on here lamictal is not an NMDA receptor antagonist......although it does inhibit glutamate by other actions.
But the big question is...will anything come of this ketamine study and how long will it take for someone to invent a drug structurally similar?!
Also what are these "other drugs" currently being trialled that are spoken of in the above trial??!!
I tried ketamine once earlier this year it worked 100% for about 5-6 days, hard to get hold of "good" stuff though and might not be safe in long run!!
I would try ritulek.......but im not a millionare!!
