UPDATED!!
Ximot and BD: I apologize if my ineloquence has lead anyone to get addicted with this regimen. I can only hope that my recent addition of warnings can help of only a bit. I recognize that the two of you have a good point, and I apologize if I reacted negatively to your criticisms - that was not out of pride, but rather out fear that I may have committed a big mistake.
It is worthy to mention that although I never had a hardcore addiction to K, I have nonetheless caught myself abusing it a handful of times. Interestingly, it appears that K has been useful to my depression both pharmacologically and psychologically - for recently its entheogenic use has allolwed me to work my way through what caused my depression, even though it seemed completely incurable. Since then, it ceased to be useful as a medical antidepressant for me, but still remains a teacher to be used sparingly.
That said, I recognize that I am still at risk of addiction, as is anyone.
However, if addiction to K is the only price for a life-long lesson in love, then I'd say it has been worth it to me, as my depression had caused me to forget how love works. Ketamine has at least in part allowed me to remember it, thus continuing my learning. I'd rather die than forget Love again...
Now that the major obstacle has been removed, I am finding that a combination of nootropics (seems to be Hydergine + Aniracetam, with the former being more essential) duplicates the antidepressant effect of K for bad days and other sort of transient sadness.
The fact that BD and I seldom agreed on anything in the past, and the fact that we seem to agree here - on the single point I've always thought was closest to being certain, alone tells me that his input in this thread is both valid and invaluable. The fact that ximot agrees only furthers this validity. The fact that they are a minoirty, however, means that by-and-large there is at least a bit of merit to this regimen.

Isaac: my deppression was a very complicated affair. And while nothing has changed in the setting that caused it, my mindset has recently changed, effectively curing it. This was at least partially thanks to Ketamine.
I cannot condone the use of Methoxetamine for the same purpose. It could be a superior medicine to K, but neither I, nor humanity in general, have enough experience with it to vouch for efficacy or safety, nor does science have anything definitive to allay this historical lack of experience.
