Re: Has anyone here used ketamine therapeutically in a clinical setting? - May 29th 2022, 07:06 PM

I have not tried it. I have done a little bit of research on it and have read (at least people with PTSD) say that it's helpful to do infusions first and then move to another form.

I might try it as a last resort. My current medications aren't working, so I have one left to try (I've tried pretty much all of them) and then I am going to try ketamine. Only thing is, I've heard that it's very expensive, at least for infusions. That is a deterrent for me.

I've heard people say that it works really well. I have a hopeful feeling especially if I do end up trying it. Most meds don't work for me because my depression/anxiety and everything stems from trauma and not depression by itself and meds aren't usually meant for trauma.

The other med I have heard as being close to a PTSD related drug is Prazosin which I use for sleep and nightmares. It works well.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
