New Treatment Option

Is anyone familiar or experienced with this “promising” new option to treat depression and suicidal/dark thoughts?

Ketamine Nasal Spray? I’ve researched it a bit but I’m skeptical bc it’s not FDA approved yet but my doctor says some pharmacies sell it right now. If anybody knows about this, please share.

Thank you.

It sounds interesting but exercise caution when trying anything new, especially if it has not been licensed x

My friend who is a pharmacist told me about pubmed.gov that publishes millions of “citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE”. (??)

I am not in the field and don’t understand the data very well. I did find info about the Ketamine Nasal Spray drug trials and it may prove useful for treatment of depression.

It seems to me that more trials are needed and I don’t plan to be a test subject at this time. Maybe in the future when there’s more solid evidence and FDA approval for this treatment.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this were the magic drug that will fix me? (Nice dream.) 😏
