No More Suicidal Thoughts!
I highly recommend anyone with depression looking into getting an IV of Ketamine at places like the Ketamine Institute of Michigan. I took antidepressants and had suicidal thoughts and depression from high school til I was 39 years old. Add to that PTSD, anxiety, and remnants of a brain injury. Couldn’t get out of bed some days. One 45 min outpatient treatment and I was smiling.
I love myself for the first time and haven’t taken a pill since. Love life now. Anyway, you photographed my cousin tonight so I clicked your link. He’s in the band Joan. LOVE THEM. Thank you for hearing me out. Why anyone waits when they find out there is a magic cure out there…is beyond me. Why suffer? So I’m taking it upon myself to share when I read someone admits to struggling. Google it. Have yet to read anything negative. Best of luck!
Struggling With Depression For Over Twenty Years
I have been struggling with depression for over twenty years, and in the previous two years, my depression has been considered both treatment resistant and severe. After being hospitalized 5 times in the past 18 months, trying numerous medications and medication combinations, and having 43 ECT treatments over the course of 7 months, I was ready to give up. In fact, I nearly gave in to the weight of my depression and it almost took my life in March.
Then, my psychiatrist, recommended ketamine as a treatment for the recurring, severe, treatment resistant depression. After doing a lot of research, I was only cautiously optimistic that one drug could calm the suicidal ideation and alleviate the depression. He gave me an introductory course of ketamine administered every other day for six days. Within hours, the suicidal thoughts that had plagued my mind for months were nearly gone. It was amazing. Throughout the course of the treatment, the fog of a severe depression began to clear, and I could think rationally for the first time in nearly a year and a half.
Since then, I have been getting maintenance treatments at the Ketamine Institute of Michigan every three to four weeks. The benefits after a treatment are nearly immediate and it lasts for several weeks. I am now able to go to college full-time and be a better parent, wife, and person. All of this was not even feasible a couple of months ago, prior to ketamine. So far, the treatments have changed my life, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to explore this treatment as an option for treatment-resistant depression.
