I am currently experiencing extreme depression and anhedonia. I might enter a ketamine study. Has anyone tried this and has it worked for you?

No but I heard its suppose to work quickly for treating depression symptoms. I don't think it's on the market yet for depression though.

Hi there, there is indeed a time & place you can receive Ketamine as an adjunct to your therapy for depression and/or while going through a depressed stage of Bipolar.

I'm in the middle of receiving ECT Treatments (shock therapy), and the Doc admin Ketamine to me during the treatments.

Hit me up if you have any questions about it!

    Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

    Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom.  Ugh it sucks.  I wish this pain would leave me already.
