      Many clinics, a wide range of pricing, so beware. The cheapest are in Europe, in countries like Spain or Poland. Also, I got the impression that they have different attitudes towards dosing. I decided that it’s very likely that the prices will fall as clinics continue to spread and I should wait. I managed to find it from a firm in the Netherlands in a slightly modified version (that makes it technically legal because this molecule isn’t yet specified on the forbidden lists) but within the body it does the same thing. I’ve done somewhere above a dozen sessions, some together with acid. The thing is, even tho it was the most uneventful substance for me when it comes to side effects, it’s still unpredictable. Most experiences were positive but it wasn’t without strange or even unpleasant bits. Like psychologist John Vervaeke says, there’s no one mantra or one particular thought or vision that will help you through your journey. What you need is to gather an *ecology* of self supporting, self affording ways of thinking & particular bits of knowledge & visions & vibes (emotional mixes you get from being exposed to certain places, situations, people, music, art) & ability to just sit with equanimity, etc, etc. And it’s so true, whenever I try very hard to protect myself through a bad experience by grabbing to a particular thought it’s always a struggle that goes nowhere. Just *trusting in your own soul to find its way intuitively* (which itself should be part of that ecology of different means) is like a magic spell that helped me navigate & find my way through delicate moments. It’s impossible to convey what goes through my mind as I navigate bad trips because these experiences are so subtle & complex, beyond any language, but it’s like I let myself find the way, very little conscious willful effort, mostly going by instinct, one moment I might invoke certain visions that are meaningful to me, then I might have a loving attitude towards me, then I might see myself as a wonderful person but not that important in the grand scheme of things so it’s not that great of a tragedy, then I might relax & let go and try to endure the bad situation without fighting or tensing up, then I might get up & rub my feet in order to shift my awareness from incessant thoughts/visions to the domain of physical sensation, then I might put on my chill/ethereal/reiki/soft music playlist and see if I can let myself float away on the music, etc. I never did it more than once a week, but on average it’s more like once a month. It’s great to have something to look up to, something positive & exciting in the future to anchor your psyche. Unfortunately my CNS is damaged from past abuse with multiple substances, so instead of experiencing "depression being lifted" & so called "afterglows" which often happen in the subsequent days/weeks, I mostly get very tired & depleted. This is accompanied by a sense that I’ve been through a kind of adventure, which is kinda true, and this feels good, fills my life with a sense of eventfulness. Hope it’s gonna go great for you!

    It’s changed my life ! I’ve been depressed since I was a young g girl. I am now 58. I for once in my life feel happy ! It’s a miraculous drug for depression. I resistant to all medications (antidepressants) I myself have no faith in these drugs. I think it is a big hoax. Nothing uas been successful for me with the exception of ketamine therapy.

    Waiting for the VA to approve my treatment. It should be about a month. Im very excited and hopeful. Im a mess and have taken EVERY kind of a pill you can, with no help. Im just scared with all the different traumas from being a combat vet and a career in law enforcement, special agent working narcotics, that the traumas may be too many for Ketamine to help. I pray it does help. Are the effects of your treatment still helping you today? Thanks for this video😁

    Truly one of the most open and honest reviews I've seen ever. Had me choked up near the end. I started doing oral Ketamine at home to try it, but felt like I wasn't getting the full experience. I recently started the iv infusions at a clinic and feel like it is working better. I agree with everything that you said in all of your videos. For me, the dissociative state helps me look at my depression and problems in my life from a 3rd person perspective. After viewing those things in that way they don't seem as large and overpowering anymore. Definitely helps. Thank you for sharing your experience in such a raw and honest way.

    How are you now? Ive been on meds in therapy forever. Meds keep me kinda alive but not happy. Its been amplified by the fact that things are ok in my external life right now my older kids r finally on their paths past through and r working through traumas. Their dad turned into a monster really it was like a movie the last year before we escaped they were little oldest was 9 then 8n 6. Now oldest is 20 youngest is 7 I had at 40 still with her dad. I'm having side effects from using prescription meds so long including benzo N newest gabapentin now taking 4 diff meds just to survive when I want to live I've never woken up free from it I hear in my meditation groups (,I meditate daily plus intense breath work session weekly which I love n its helped I think but I just can't seem to bust through. Its like theirs too much trauma and slowly releasing going through not around will take more years than I have I'm not willing to be this its not me I'm covered by so much. I'm willing to do anything to experience my daughter I need her to see me happy I'm showing her lives too hard n is not what I can teach her anymore but I'm stuvk. This not willing to teach her suffering yet not able to get out from under is really making me question if shed be better with me gone ..ill never but that feeling is awful. Anyway at home treatment is available in Texas now prob not for long they must be distracted but its money I can have if I decide to make a way Universe will. I know all are diff but are you still better?

    Thank you so much Vanna. I can relate to much of what you shared about struggling to function and waking up depressed for so long. Your tears were so moving to me because I could imagine how freeing it must have been for the weight of suffering to be lifted away. I can also really feel how much you want others to know there’s hope, other things that help. I am SO happy for you, that you are living more fully with joy! With love and light, Susanne.

I deal with mental health and chronic pain, and I am set up for a consultation to start this treatment. I'm hoping for and needing changes. My life I'd at very low point atm to where I cannot even work. Thank you again. I'm happy for you.

  • @shecat1964
    @shecat1964 3 года назад

    Sounds like you got a stronger dose. I went in for pain treatment. would have loved to be able to resolve some mental health issues too. But i was to busy listening to all the talking and noise, i did not get a chance to get into my head. Only that i felt like i was only a head with no body. So what else can you say when they ask rate your pain. What pain? i have no body. But that goes away pretty quick when its wearing off.

  • @shecat1964
    @shecat1964 3 года назад

    I watched this before i went in for my first time yesterday. I was in for a shock. They must not have given you very much. I could not function or hardly talk, Most of the time i felt like i was just a head with no body. I got panicked at one point because i could not feel myself breath. Im still debating if i liked it or not. I came home still feeling like i was drunk. Slept the rest of the day away. Then today did not feel quite right. I seemed to have an issue connecting the words i wanted to use with my mouth, And i stuttered some. I felt in a daze all day today. I also am a bit upset with the setup they had. Just a big hospital area with curtains. On a hard bed and too much noise. worker pushing carts of stuff past my bed. At one point the dr and nurse were standing at the table at the end of my bed and he was talking about the baby he just had, and showing her pictures, They were trying to decide what part of the baby looked like what parent. I said congrats, but i was irritated. At no point did i feel like i could relax.

    I tried ketamine for years and it didn’t work for me. I’m one of the very few minority who can’t find any relief for my symptoms. I hope it helps you. I am not able to carry on a conversation when I’m on it. I am super blitzed and just stare at the wall.

  • @spatulaman2753
    @spatulaman2753 3 года назад

    I can’t imagine trying to carry on a conversation during my treatment. It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that I don’t get out of my head if I had to do that. I appreciate the “high” feeling and the ability to stop worrying and have this magical “dream” like atmosphere going on. Immediately afterwards I felt amazing and stayed that way for a couple of days until my next treatment. I’m taking Ketamine sublingually so maybe it has a different effect or hits different than infusion?

    • @princessleyla
      @princessleyla 3 года назад

      I don't understand this either, she should have closed her eyes and went to "sleep". Enjoy the ride! She's awake the whole time? Defeats the whole purpose of the healing process. Hopefully next time she's resting and laying back.

  • @bryanstark324
    @bryanstark324 3 года назад

    I really wish that I could afford this. I saved for 10 months to afford just 2 treatments. Hopefully that will be enough. What insurance company helped you pay for it? I'm suffering very deep depression and probably need to be hospitalized if ketamine doesn't help.
