Interestingly, subanesthetic doses of ketamine—a glutamatergic modulator—have shown great promise for rapidly treating patients with the most severe forms of depression.
Anecdotally Ketamine made my medical trauma far worse than it could have been.
I don't like it when people float ketamine around without the "CAREFUL GUIDENCE OF A PHYSICIAN" because Ketamine can and will have a different response depending on the medication you take and how your genetic metabolism handles it.
For example:
I remembered them cutting into me, then an OBE watching them insert the chest tube, feeling the whole damn thing and seeing mice people.
I had been taking Prozac, a CY2B6 inhibitor. I had normal activity on that. However, I had reduced activity on 3A4, meaning, over all, I wasn't going to process the ketamine the same.
Basically it just made everything into a horror film for me.
So, yeah. Doctor.
