My regular psychiatrist was the one who recommended it. And this other ketamine provider was the one who said it was contraindicated. I trust my primary psychiatrist more.
I just thought it was kind of silly that even though my primary psychiatrist recommended it, the people at the secondary clinic said no. But oh well.

My psychiatrist is pretty open minded. I don't really get psychosis anymore. I would be more worried about depersonalization/derealization considering that ketamine is "dissociative".
I'll let him know that I've self medicated with it in 2019 (30-50mg every 1-2 weeks for 3 months) which stopped my dissociation. The last time I used it was in December of 2020 and that was the last time I felt manic/psychotic (I was watching south park which freaked me out) - I took 0.5mg of clonazepam and was better before the olanzepine kicked in.
I'm just going to let him know all of these things and be completely honest. I just want to stop using phenibut and prevent agitated dysphoria/sui thoughts. If he says no, then there should be better options. He just wants to help me.
I took some phenibut today though and had the best day skiing. Nice sunny day! I'll post the panoramas here later =]
