B-
I'm surprised they plan on stepping you down to a ketamine injection just 1x a month as an eventual maintenance schedule. Is this part of a protocol that they've formulated with their experience with past patients? I assumed they'd at least wait for you to stabilize more on a week to week basis before making that determination. From what I've read, most patients receiving maintenance treatment on a weekly to biweekly schedule. Curious what there experience is with maintenance dosing.
Also, what is the dosage per injection?
I was also wondering about your experience with the benzodiazepines. You mentioned issues with anergia and being reclusive. For me, the benzos made these issues worse. But I found that Valium and Klonopin were bigger offenders when it came to this than Ativan was. Not sure if you have any experience with it but just wanted to throw it out there.
