ketamine infusion reults

Posted by johnLA on August 7, 2012, at 22:38:33

hi all-
i finally did my ketamine infusion last week. i'm very sorry to say that i did not get a positive result. possibly one day of placebo relief, if even that.
unfortunately as well, those that do not respond to the first infusion most likely will not respond to repeated infusions.
i am very disappointed to say the least.
still, many people that i have spoken to have had results that have lasted from a week to a month. so, those of you who have yet to try it please do not give-up hope.
so, what does a guy do who has tried ect, several ssri's, remeron, effexor and now ketamine, all w/out any positive results?
nardil? tca? some drug combo?
my depression is deep. i have basically been in bed for over 2 years now. not sure meds are the direction for me at this point. my biggest problems are inertia and ruminating thoughts.
maybe something more behavioral based?
finally, sorry to those who have emailed me and i did not respond. i have just been extra down this week.
john
