I qualified for financial help with one of those places that advertise on social media (Joyous, if you know it), and I've got enough to buy myself the first month of pills.

Curious as to if anyone has had experience with it. On paper it sounds like it would be great for me, but my ma is scared of it cause apparently there are horror stories going around in the news. Way I figure it, if it doesn't help, at least I get drugs.

A good friend of mine did supervised ketamine therapy with his long term psychiatrist to treat CPTSD and he made some serious breakthroughs. However, this was augmenting long term treatment, and he’s still doing non-K therapy

Supervised is the big part here

Do you know if he was doing ketamine IV infusions in a clinic? Or perhaps nasal spray applications?

Anything about the frequency of the actual pharmaceutical sessions/doses?

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Sorry, I don’t know anything about dosage or methods

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s almost exclusively the esketamine nasal spray. I’ve never heard of the type of service OP is describing.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah it'd be the spray or the infusion thing. I think they have different expectations for therapeutic outcomes but I'm really not 100% sure.
