@Pinkstarburst I’ve been wondering about it for a few months now. I stopped meds after 8 years of trying back in 2016 after a dna test for personalized medicine came back unhelpful. I was referred to a new psychiatrist that was more comfortable with experimental treatment, but I felt uncomfortable with my options. I’m interested in ketamine but kinda scared.
@itsok From what I understand you receive IV treatments that take about 45 minutes...I'm not sure how many of those are done. But, after, there is a nasal spray that is prescribed. I have also looked into transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This is NOT shock treatments but is administered similarly using magnetic pulses. I wish you luck finding the best treatment.
