Rapastinel. A novel NMDA pharma drug for depression

[ratfood]

I am currently in a phase 3 clinical study trial of Rapastinel. I have been getting a weekly infusion of the medication for approx 4 months. I take it concurrently with an AD. It seems to have decreased my depression from mod/severe to mild. It's worth the pain and agony of the needle sticks and constant blood draws. The $ I get paid helps. Although this is working out for me, it would never be covered by my insurance once it gets FDA approved as it is very expensive. I feel as if microdosing on shrooms or LSD gets the same results without the needles. Only problem is that it can't be monitored well and it's not easy dealing with the taboo "drug addict" stereotype.

Hey ratfood, is it possible that you are in a placebo arm of the trial or are there subjective effects of the drug?
