anybody tried the ketamine treatment for depression

[worf]

there is a clinic in tauranga. it cost a bit, but doc dismissed it for me. i should have asked him why.

I use licorice root. Usually as a tea.

Also, flower smells, open landscapes... really anything that can bring a smile or lighten your heart.

Prescriptions are over prescribed. I can't say should someones depression be severe that my methods would be helpful. They just are useful to me when I feel depression overwhelming me.

I haven't tried it but read that it is given in injections somehow. I don't believe it's made for long time use yet.

I've had bad results with prescribed antidepressants and tried most of them. Now I've been using the supplement 5htp. I get the Puritan's Pride brand and take 200 mg. a day. I began to notice the difference after about 3 weeks. I started at 100 mg. a day then upped it to 200 after a week. It seems to help even though I still have some pretty bad days.

St John's Wort. I usually need to take more than recommended. Combine it with the tea and vitamin D supplements (also, no-one here's going to know where Tauranga is)

Prolly not, but you can click up Google Earth and be there in seconds. New Zealand, north tip of the North Island.

Nope!

I never take pills, except 1 centrum each 2 days (to avoid I die as fat as an spaguetti)

I have tried "K" that I injected. about all it has done for me is make me loopy.

Never have. My own treatment is alcohol-based. It even works sometimes.
My ex uses it though. Hasn't worked well for her, she still has regular panic attacks on top.

Patients can get a four day ketamine infusion in hospital here for severe depression or chronic nerve pain. It gives them a break when they can't stand another minute of reality. It makes sense I suppose.
'Here' is the Netherlands, btw.
