Thank you for that post tessellated. It was very insightful. Ketamine has just gone up in my estimation. I hope those researchers do manage to get it licensed for at least specialist use.
>For those of you out there on MAOI's. Ketamine can be a life saver, as there are no interactions, as it operates on a completely different mechanism, and its not synergistic. So its one of the few MAOI safe, fast acting, anethetics, available.
This was a concern for me when I started Parnate. The pdoc told me "If you get run over by a bus there is nothing we could give you for the pain" which I thought was harsh. I had wondered about nitrous oxide, but that wouldn't be a longer term solution in any case. I thought the -amine bit of ketamine would rule out its use in combination with MAOIs so I never investigated
it further. I may well go on to try Nardil now I can put my mind at rest.Q
