Q: Are you able to forgo other medications while taking ketamine? Also, you're able to administer it yourself, or are you supervised in office? Have you noticed any tolerance? (Sorry for all the questions!)

A: I still take my other medications (which don't help much). I'm a chronic depressive unfortunately, losing hope as I get older.
My Dr was working with a home health clinic. So for my first time I went in and they watched me while I tried the inhalation of compounded ketamine. Then they actually delivered it on a regular basis. Then they stopped sending out ketamine. So my Dr just calls it to a compounding pharmacy. He said he is surprised how many compounding pharmacies have it.
I just go pick up a small bottle that they have filled with 2 weeks worth. It's funny because I asked my doc if I could try it a couple of years ago and he didn't think it was worth it, but he has seen some success.> This last surgery was Thursday, and the depression has lifted (I have dysthymia and BPll depression). Due to nausea from antibiotics and lack of appetite, I'm not enjoying myself yet.
> Another thing. My social anxiety temporarily improves but not for nearly as long.Interesting!
> The experience of ketamine was/is unpleasant, but with foreknowledge, I worked on having an ok trip. The first time, I was frightened.
I was really scared as well. Do you know how many mg? I think I'm on a low dose and I look forward to my two hour light "trip". I put a list of things together to do because I have more motivation. I also feel more connected to people, etc. But then it sadly fades in about 2 hours.
