Esketamine for Depression: Has Anyone Tried It?

That’s good you feel like that. I hope to feel that too and not any of the above I mentioned. I know what dissociation can feel like. And I’ve felt depersonalization a couple times. Not pleasant to say the least.

It is a common thing, but I haven’t fully experienced it. I feel extremely heavy relaxed, like I feel like I cannot move, but I can, but I don’t lol. I have mostly felt super relaxed and have a calmness after that I haven’t felt in ages. So that’s nice.

Weirdo, did you experience any dissociation or depersonalization?

Eveybird, I fully understand wanting to hear from ‘real people’ experiences. Also, I was wrong, it is fda approved, just strictly regulated. I started a few weeks ago, I’ve had 5 treatments, 2 were cancelled due to weather and medical issues. I haven’t noticed any significant difference yet. Each person’s experience after administering the medication can vary greatly. Also, I recommended the website because there are real testimonials that we are supposed to watch initially as part of preparing for the treatment.

I do IV ketamine as needed for my treatment resistant depression. I started out doing the series a few times and then did one IV treatment a month for a while. This is over the course of years by the way. And now I have not needed it in almost a year. It changed my life and I highly recommend it to everyone with depression.

Weirdo, more interested in talking to people about their experiences than Spravotos website. FDA picks and chooses what they approve. I don’t really pay attention to it. I did ketamine in high school. I remember the amazing effect it had on mood. Please no judgement, I was a party kid. Now I’m Straight Edge.

Eveybird, esketamine isn’t approved for use by the fda yet, also, it’s a few weeks 2 days a week to start. Then maintenance as needed after the initial treatments. Look into janssencarepath.com/spravato to get info or help.

You’re so lucky! I have an appointment in April to see if I qualify. I am hoping so much to try it. I’ve had medication-resistant depression for 15 years. Would you like to talk and be friends and I’d love to hear about your journey with it and I hope it helps!

Esketamine is ketamine nasal spray. I’m going to start ketamine (at home) soon for my anxiety and depression. I’m really hoping that it works for me!! I am curious to hear what other people say about this.
