Today I am really fatigued. I had a Caesars salad for lunch and I kid you not, my jaws kept getting tired.

Today I did my 4th infusion. I just got home and I'm still numb.
Ketamine is an anesthetic. You lose the feeling in your body completely. This time I know they upped the dosage because it's taking a long time to wear off. This time I had an out of body experience. It felt like i was floating. I was kind of dreading it a little before i went but now I'm glad I did it. It's not so scary now because I know what to expect. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

At that point we will reassess. I may need to do a treatment a week for 4 weeks after this. It's my understanding that from that point on I only have to go when I feel the depression coming back. Overall, it's not too bad tho I would not call it fun, it is definitely an experience. The only real side effect I seem to have is extreme fatigue. I'm as weak as a newborn kitten at times and just running errands with my husband is enough to wipe me out. Other than that, I don't really know for sure if I am actually at death's door during the treatments, I just know it feels that way, but not in a scary way, if that makes any sense. Again, it's really difficult to describe.  WW

Oh. And it's really freaky walking out of the place when I can't even feel my feet! It took longer to wear off which makes me think they really upped the dosage, but until I talk to the doctor, I won't know for sure but I'm going to find out. .

I would try basically anything short of a prefrontal lobotomy as long as it was recommended by a medical doctor. I wish you the best of luck in your path. I hope it continues to work and that you become well.

My son tells me I'm the strongest person he's ever known. He said when your carrying around 500 lbs on your back, you have to expect that your going to fall down occasionally. If I fall down again, i doubt I'll get back up again. I'm very, very tired of my own brain. I am starting to feel better. It's very subtle, though. I noticed that while i still have some anxiety, i no longer feel like there's an elephant sitting on my chest. I'll take it! I've not had a depressive episode since starting the infusions, but Its only been 2 weeks __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

I'm going in tomorrow morning for my 5th treatment. I'm trying not to get nervous about it. The last time was so intense, I have to keep telling myself that this will not kill me. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

I did the 5th infusion today. I'm actually starting to get used to it. This time they bumped me up to 75. I found out they start you out at 35, so they were upping it every time I went in. I'm not sure what the unit of measure is - I think it's in micrograms. This time I definitely felt like I was having an out of body experience though it doesn't last long. I am starting to feel better. My mind is not so cluttered anymore. I can think straight without a lot of negative emotions weighing me down.
Right now my life is a wreck. I doubt my marriage will last much longer. I can't handle fighting anymore. I'm not going to fight with him, I'm done with that. It would be better if my life were better I'm sure. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

Werewomen you are so very strong and I hope you continue to feel even better, I would be so very scared.
Looking forward to your next update. If you don't mind I will say a prayer for you and me to, and others who suffer. |

Yeah is bad as I feel I can't cry either. I will keep the prayers coming even though I have been losing my faith because of the turmoil my lift has become - why all the suffering ?
Hope your 6th infusion tomorrow helps - are you feeling better than before you started ? I wonder how long these feelings will last, I hope it's a true cure ? |

I am definitely better. Before I was severely depressed and extremely suicidal. Now I'm happier I think. I haven't had a major depressive episode since starting the treatments and I rarely go two weeks without one, so there's that. My OCD seems better and so does my anxiety, though both are still bad enough to be disruptive. Overall though, I have to say, I am glad I'm doing this. It may not be The Cure, but its damn close. I'll take any improvement I can get. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

Find Ketamine Infusion Clinics | Ketamine Clinics Directory | The leading source of ketamine clinics, news, and information
If you have TRD, treatment resistant depression, don't walk, RUN to the nearest ketamine clinic. Cost varies quite a bit. The clinic I go to is $500 per infusion. I had to pay $170 for each treatment. Insurance covered the rest. Yes, it's expensive. Borrow the money, run up your credit cards, whatever it takes, but get to a clinic. It was scary at first because I didn't know what to expect. Ketamine is a powerful drug. It's my understanding that it's used as a street drug. I can't imagine anyone abusing it. It literally numbs your body and your emotions. It takes you to the place where nothing hurts. I hope this thread has been helpful for anyone suffering as I once did. Feel free to post your experience. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

That's great news I hope it last, PLEASE keep us posted on how you feel over the next few weeks, I am vert curious but concerned since it does not work for everyone and I might be one of those.
Were you on any meds. and if so did they allow you to remain on them ? |
