I had been thinking of making ketamine my next choice of treatment. However, I don't plan on having tests performed for BDNF genotype or blood levels. It is cheaper and faster to just go ahead and try intranasal ketamine. The Met BDNF genotype has been reported by researchers to be associated with both cognitive deficits and resistance to ketamine treatment. One might suggest that the cognitive impairments I have are indicators of a Met genotype, and are therefore prognosticators of non-response to ketamine.

Who knows for sure?

I don't.

I guess I'll have to try ketamine in order to find out.
