Hello, has anyone recently tried Ketamine for anxiety? How was it for you if you did and was it hard to get access to it?

It is a prescription. I would discuss with your doctor first. It is not the only med so it may not even be the best med for you but you won’t know if you don’t discuss options.

I am wondering about this as well. It was brought up by my dr. I would love to know anyone’s experience with it too. I’ve been on Effexor xr for years and until recently it’s worked very well. I wasn’t sure what I thought because I have never heard from anyone who has tried this treatment . I would love to know too

Hi. I had a quite a few infusions of ketamine a couple of years ago for anxiety and depression. For me it was only effective in emptying my savings account. Insurance generally will not cover it. It did nothing for me but everyone is different. Do some research and discuss with your doc. Hope you feel better soon.......
