How would Ketamine be administered at home. Who would prescribe it for anyone unless you can get it somehow directly and even still how would you administer it?
My doc is a member of a National Assn of Ketamine researchers/providers that meet regularly to discuss their findings, practices, outcomes and guidelines of Ketamine administration. She sends out newsletters to her patients and everything I read did not support the use of intranasal K for intractable depression.
That is just what I have heard from her and read in the news letters. She is a brilliant psychiatrist and also does not advise for Ketamine to be given in clinics run by anesthesiologists. I initially was supposed to be treated by an Anesth. and she made me come off Nardil before she could treat me. Then she decided not to treat me because of my history. She referred me to Dr Lori Calabrese in West Hartford, CT and was informed by her that I DID not need to come off Nardil. Wow. The anesth was wrong about that. I know Dr C is an expert based on her background, education and membership in the Ketamine National Assn, who are the leading researchers and practitioners who are currently utilizing it in their repertoire of depression treatments. I have total faith in her honestly and integrity in administering Ketamine not solely for the purpose of financial gain as many clinics are being criticized for.
