In reply to Ketamine- any indicators of who might respond?, posted by alchemy on December 20, 2012, at 22:28:52
> Maybe this is just the latest fad. I think i can finally actually go in for infusions. My excitement has dwindled when reading more studies and experiences. But i like that it works differently than other med approaches. Nmda receptors, glutamate...actually i dont remember. Does anyone have or know of any theories about what type of depression might be more responsive? Or maybe looking at how previous meds affected someone?
hi alchemy,it's interesting, because I use Tramadol as part of my med combo, and it works on the nmda and glutamate receptors. but, (I think ) Scott mentioned those who respond well to Lamictal would do well, and my response is terrible with lamictal. Nitrous Oxide also works on nmda receptors, and last time I had it at the dentist, I freaked out and had a depersonalization response. So I'm a bit baffled. sorry, don't know if I made sense, just connecting the dots from my experience.
