I understand that there is a test that can distinguish between responders and nonresponders, although it is probably still experimental.

But I haven't been actively following ketamine news since a year or two ago, so I may well be wrong about some of this stuff.
Thanks for the citation.
> I tried it, and it didn't help me. But neither did intramuscular ketamine, which as a route of administration probably comes the closest to IV.I'm sorry that ketamine was without benefit for you.
Do you know of any risks involved with long-term use?
Thanks.
