"So far, mixed emotions. I've done 6 weeks of biweekly treatment with esketamine, which I felt were excellent results. Cut to 1 treatment per week and this week. It has been an amalgamation of depression and severe anger. Some of this change may have been brought about by stress due to my wife's rapidly disintegrating health and fear of her losing her other leg. She is an amputee, a cancer survivor with bilateral percutaneous nephrectomies, an Indiana pouch abdominal urinary bladder replacement, a colostomy, and end-stage renal disease. This week, she suddenly developed pressure sores on her right foot, almost identical to the one that cost her her left leg 9 months ago. Needless to say, I am extremely upset at the thought of her losing her right leg and praying the doctors can make it heal. When esketamine was working, prior to the events of this week, all was wonderful. I hope that comes back."

Esketamine "Although I haven't seen any results yet, it's important to remember that everyone's response can be different. After undergoing eight sessions, I haven't experienced any improvements. However, if you delve into the research, you'll find that this treatment was originally used as a horse tranquilizer. Logically, it seems plausible that a tranquilizer could be effective for addressing both anxiety and depression."

"I was on Spravato nasal for about four to six months. At the end of November 2019, insurance was cut off, and I ended up in psych wards with major, severe, horrible psychosis. Now we're in September 2021, and I am still having problems with hearing scary stuff. I felt/feel possessed. I have psychic abilities/paranoia, phobias? Intrusive voices, a lot of negative side effects. Am I stuck in the K hole? Has anyone else had horrific withdrawals and had it mess with your head? I thought I was crazy before, haha. I'm scared."

Esketamine "Improvement in mood overall. Improvement in motivation. It has been very helpful. Only downside is having to go to the doctor's office once a week for the 2-hour session."

Esketamine "Spravato has done absolutely nothing for me. I’ve become worse than when I started, and I didn’t think that was possible. I am trying very hard not to commit suicide."

Esketamine "Once the sedative effects are no longer felt, you go back to being able to suppress your thoughts that you don't want to think about. It worked until my body got used to it."

Esketamine "I have had 15 treatments and have not gotten any better. Don't know if it's worth continuing treatments, speaking with my DR today. 25+ years of treatment-resistant depression, nothing yet."

Esketamine "It worked, but it was short-term relief. I had to discontinue due to getting migraine headaches that got worse."
