I am pretty sure that ketamine administered i.v. would help me a great deal. It is my hope that ketamine therapy would reset synaptic dynamics and restore brain circuitry in such a way so as to allow antidepressant treatment to produce a higher-quality and more persistent response. At this juncture, I think it would be a mistake to establish a treatment protocol that discontinues psychotropic medications and attempts to use ketamine therapy exclusively. Without pharmacotherapy support, one might have to go for maintenance treatments every two to four weeks in a manner similar to ECT.

Ketamine represents an exciting discovery that will lead to a new avenue of research into the phenomenology and treatment of affective disorders.
