Wow. What a difficult decision to have to make.

It is an appealing idea that a single course of ketamine infusions will make one responsive to drug treatment such that further ketamine therapy is no longer necessary. Some people talk about ketamine "resetting" the brain. I have no idea how valid this proposition is.

What drugs are you currently taking? Will they allow you to continue taking them during the study?
