Tomorrow is my 6th Ketamine Infusion. My results have been a little disappointing. I remember nothing about my first session and felt no different. I did remember bits of the second one, but still felt no difference. No memory or difference with the third. I came out of the fourth in a full fledged panic . It was a good hour before they'd let me leave. I did however feel less anxious for most of the next day, until the Ketamine Center called to say that because my blood pressure got a little high they wouldn't do any more sessions until I had written clearance from my PCP. This was mid afternoon on a Friday and I was scheduled for Monday afternoon. It took a bit, but I was able to get my fifth this past Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were the best days I have had in almost 2 years. Unfortunately today I regressed and I am certain that just made the depression and anxiety worse. The fact that my mother has been in the hospital since Sunday and I was having issues with them trying to discharge her too soon and I didn't crumble was great!

I am pretty sure they are going to suggest a few more sessions right away, but at $600 per, I don't know if I can afford it. How I wish this were covered by the insurance.

Bottom line, so far, it is the only thing that has made any difference. I really really hope I have a good session tomorrow and it has longer lasting results.
