Has anyone tried Ketamine for PD dyskinesia or depression associated with PD? There is a clinical trial opening in my area and I am trying to decide whether or not to participate. My dyskinesia is mild. Thanks!

Meds to reduce dyskinesia are being trialed according to MJFF. If dyskinesia can be mitigated that would be a big improvement. A better understanding of the gut biome will hopefully lead to improved dietary recommendations. What are your thoughts?
