> So has anyone here on PB tried Ketamine?
I haven't. It is available as a "street drug", but I still would not try it. The antidepressant effect is very brief.

It works. The NIH has confirmed this.
The article I posted helps to elucidate how ketamine works so that neuroscientists can identify new compounds that accomplish the same thing using a "short-cut" that more directly affects the necessary enzyme activity. I would try such a new drug in a heartbeat.
