      I'm on Trintellix and have done really well on it. It's expensive, but the company will work with you and send discounts and stuff to help pay for it if your insurance doesn't.

        @crazydoglady I'm on I think 10mgs I'm hoping it can be upped. I've plateau'd very quick. Both the Dr and I thought I would. I also take rexalti with it so far.ive been happy with the rexalti I start that one about 7 months ago.

      I switched from Lexapro to Trintellix and the switch was pretty smooth and even improved my depression lethargy. I’m not 100% if you were asking about Ketamine, but I have tried it for extreme pain and it’s amazing! I had it administered at a hospital at a low dose and it improved my pain completely for 48 hours.

        @OuchiePrincess I wish my hospital would do that. I've heard good stuff about that med. My pain is all the time. I am aware that ketamine is also very easy to get addicted to.

          @jerrielyn there’s two ways that I know of that are legal to have it in our state (CO). One is by emergency in the ER, and the other is at an Alternative Medicine Clinic. There clinics have FDA clearance to administer therapeutic doses of ketamine for patients with qualifying conditions. They do it all in the clinic, and monitor you during your session to make sure your vitals are good and can measure your reactions to it, as everyone is different. Then you schedule more visits (usually at minimum 2-4 weeks out from first appt). Most insurances don’t yet cover this kind of treatment (that I’m aware of). Out of pocket, one treatment costs upwards of $400.

        @OuchiePrincess And I think it helped me understand how much my pain is directly connected to my emotional state
