Hi Linkadge,
Thanks for getting back to me. I know you have probably have your own personal questions on why you suffer from mental illness as we all must do. I just don't get it. I want to know why I feel so lousy on a small amount of Seroxat and why taking meds seems to be such a crap shoot. Afterall, with pain, majority of people respond in the same way to a pain killer, it reduces the pain. You wouldn't give somebody a pain killer for a migraine and expect it to make the migraine ten times worse.
I did go to New York to try Ketamine. I was on Seroxat at the time so wasn't feeling too bad anyway, at least I was well enough to actually think something might work. When I'm not on anything I wouldn't have even gone. I found the Ketamine infusion to be a very pleasant experience. I have to say I enjoyed sitting there with it infused into my blood stream but I don't remember there being any noticeable affect afterwards.
Having said that, I have a friend in the States who has been on the Jensen esketamine trial, she has pretty much failed to respond to anything and initially she didn't feel any benefit from the esketamine but after about a month she is feeling great. Well last time she emailed me she was.
I've tried finding esketamine trials in the UK but they have stopped recruiting people. You can go to Oxford and pay to have them but I'm loathe to pay for 8 treatments. I've been told it might go to market in 2021 so maybe I will just wait until then. Luckily I have my current medication to keep me going.
