Oral ketamine?
Oral ketamine is all but impossible to administer. The blood level of ketamine for treating depression is very narrow, and requires precision to dose. That's why it is best administered intravenously for maximal effect. Intranasal ketamine can work, too, but it takes awhile to find the right dose and dosing frequency.
Medical science is deconstructing marijuana and evaluating the actions of its components in the brain. For example, intractable epilepsy can sometimes be controlled with marijuana, but only if the strain of marijuana contains a high ratio of CBD to THC. If it is CBD that helps with anxiety, it would be nice to have a well-metered oral pill to take (Epidiolex). The same would apply to appetite and THC and its prescription synthetic derivative (Marinol).
I know you are desperate. I would drink elephant piss if I thought it would cure me. I would drink in moderation, of course. I bet my memory would improve, though.
