> I had a psychiatrist who prescribed intranasal ketamine for me about 2 years ago. it did the same exact thing for me as over the counter Dextromethorphan (DXM). it simply just made me dizzy. BUT, if you remember my past posts on this site, you may remember many of my reactions on meds are different than normal.
Yes. You even described long-lasting negative effects of drugs that lasted well beyond drug discontinuation.
> currently, the past month or so, ive actually been doing Electroconvulsive Therapy. it has been no problem. just have been having some effects on my memory. besides that, it is the ONLY treatment that ive hade any benefit from in the past few years. and thank God it has been amazing. Things were getting rough for me and ECT arrived to help just in the nick of time.
That's a very bright and optimistic outcome. I hope you continue to improve. Will you go for maintenance treatments or add any medications?
> id recommend ECT to anyone.I had 15 treatments in 1991. The first 6 were unilateral left, the remainder were bilateral. It believe that the treatment you receive is more effective than that I received. I really cannot exclude modern ECT from consideration.
