Has anyone here used ketamine therapeutically in a clinical setting? - May 14th 2022, 02:27 PM

The dissociative psychedelic ketamine has been FDA approved for the management of treatment resistant depressions for a few years now. It came out around 2018/2019. It is available in nasal spray form and in the form of injection at a ketamine clinic. Ketamine produces instantaneous antidepressant effect lasting for weeks after a single session according to the clinical trials.

It is possible that other psychedelics will be approved to treat mental conditions in the future (MDMA being the closest to approval- for PTSD), but ketamine was first because it was already FDA approved to induce anesthesia.

Has anyone here tried it?
