Daily Low Dose Ketamine

I have had severe Depression for decades. I am treatment resistant. My Antidepressants don't work. Therapy was useless. I was suicidal and hopeless everyday. TMS didn't work. Cost.$15,000. I tried 16 IV Ketamine sessions. Amazing Psychedelic Experience. $500 per session. But no lasting improvement. I found out about micro dosing Ketamine Company called Joyous. I have been micro dosing for two weeks and I am no longer suicidal. My life was an unbearable hell. I wanted to go to Switzerland to end my life. This is my experience. It may not work for everybody.

I’ve been hearing about very low dose ketamine. Is the process through Joyous easy? How much are you taking a day? Any info would be great and I’m really glad it’s working for you!

Hey, whatever works for you! I'm glad that you found something that helps. Xo

Congratulations on discovering the right treatment option for your chemistry!! It's such a revelation when you finally see what real results can do. My combo is 1 monthly TMS session, med marajuana and Psilocybin microdosing. Everyone has to push their boundaries and try fringe treatments when conventional meds fail. It's amazing what psychedelics are coming into play now for mental health treatment. I did Ketamine infusions and I absolutely agree they were an amazing experience!!

This is my experience after three weeks of daily doses. I'm not cured of depression but the suicidal thoughts are mostly gone. That's my worst symptom. I was nearing the end of my life. Psychiatry had totally failed me. I was wasting money telling my Therapist I wanted to die every week. I know many are feeling the same way. Taking their meds and feeling totally hopeless. I'm afraid if Big Pharma finds out that daily Ketamine works they will shut it down. I'm not being paranoid. They make billions on antidepressants that don't work for millions of people.

Thanks for sharing, glad it has worked for you and that's what counts. I don't know if you saw any of my previous posts but I found through my journey with TMS how important having my testosterone, thyroid and adrenals functioning properly is because they really impact our mood. i agree with you about big-pharma.

I definitely have low T levels. But the treatment options didn't appeal to me. I think anti-psychotics lowers T levels. They create a hormone imbalance in men. My Prolactin levels are high. Luckily Seroquel isn't giving me diabetes.

I had high-functioning anxiety disorder for years which I think might have affected my testosterone as well as my thyroid (hypothyroid). My testosterone treatment is pretty simple, just a weekly T shot and a Clomophine tablet a day. sounds line you are on top of things with the tests, etc... which is good.

I am glad you found something that works. I say whatever truly helps you, is good. It is amazing what they are learning now about psychedelics and how they can help with mental health treatment.

My son has been micro-dosing on Psilocybin for his anxiety. (It is now available in Oregon, where we live with the help of a doctor in a clinic.) What was your experience with this, and how were you sure about the dosage?

Not what you're looking for?
