I am very interested in it but I don’t know if the meds I’m on for mental health would mix well with it.

they’re all fine and don’t mix. I’ve done it 18 times now lol & all mental health/psych meds are fine. Just no benzos or opiates prior to the infusion. You can take it after. Hope this helps!!!

Yes, I use it now along w/ Zoloft. It was a complete game changer for me and my depression. I use the sublingual troches for last 2+ years now. I am hoping & praying to be evaluated and treated via Ketamine IV in a couple of months

I’ve been doing ketamine infusions for a while now & NOTHING has helped me with: infusions 1-2: depression PTSD suicidal thoughts migraines and Trigeminal Neuralgia!!!!! And it’s now helping my anxiety!! I’ve got treatment resistant anxiety… I’ve been able to cut out lotsa meds cuz of ketamine infusions & feel SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Like I’m alive again!!! I’m in Alabama. Here, what you do is go for 6 infusions, 2 a week. Then e/o week, then eventually monthly (what I’m doing now) and depending on how you feel, you get a booster. Expensive as hell!!!!!!! 😥 😥 😥 but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!☮️💖🙌🏻🙏🏻🥳🎉🎈 🤗 if you, or anyone has questions, I’m a pro at this & I’m a psychologist which helps 🤪jk Anything you want to know, please ask!!! Good luck on your journey to freedom!!!!

I still take one benzo. They just ask you not to take your dose of benzos the day of your infusion. It won’t work as well. Everything else is fine- just opiates and benzos can’t be taken before, you can take them when you’re finished. Just to clarify
