i think the real future will be drugs that are under development that are in the class of ketamine, etc.
google 'glyx-13.'
for those of you who remember i tried both a ketamine infusion and ketamine intranasal spray. both docs are listed on the site that hugh provided.
there some truly new meds that are being trialed that are not ssri's/snri'setc. i'm hopeful these come-out in the next 2 or 3 years. some are being 'fastracked' by the fda due to how well they are doing in initial trials.
i'm not against the way ketamine is being used now. it works for some, but it is far from the bright light it was a few years ago when the news first broke. plus, continuous use of ketamine as it is being used now can be physically problematic. even at the lower doses they are using.
still, another tool in the box for us is always good. just didn't work for me and the doc said the initial #'s/responders were not holding up.
