> hehe, well there are already hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who have taken it, and it looks like they are quite satisfied with it ;).. no, of course I get the point, but if someone gave me the pill they are trying to develop, I wouldn't hesitate a second to try it..
> but I guess that, until that pill will be developed, tested, approved and ready for sale I will either have a found a drug that works, or I'll be dead :(...

If ketamine is found to be globally effective at treating depression, perhaps it will be fast-tracked for approval. I imagine that there will be quite a bit of resistance against that from happening because of its reputation as a street drug. It would be a true injustice if ketamine were withheld from sufferers of treatment resistant depression because of its potential for abuse. Hopefully, scientists will isolate the mechanisms of action of ketamine and come up with more targeted drugs.
