Misc Ketamine as antidepressant

[Kudos]

Obviously in all the studies that have shown ketamine's efficacy as an anti-depressant the patients havent been railing lines, but for those no inclined to inject things what would the dose be? Will it still be effective?

yea sure but watch for tolerance. low dose k works well and it is suggested every 10days to 2 weeks. i wouldnt go iv binging unless u have a shitload of k, even though once u ruin ur tolerance u wont feel the k, u may still get the beneficial antidepressant qualities, but i dont really know.

I would limit myself to like a gram of k every 10 days and try to sniff or IM it. of course, i am an iv addict myself, but i fucked up my tolerance to k and mxe.

Where are all these studies showing the efficacy of ketamine in treating depression? Can you provide me with the citations, please?

^ I don't have the time at the moment to dig up studies atm but I'll link you to some threads on BL that include citations.

Jamshyd has a good work up on his experiences as well as some citations in

Jamshyd's Medicinal Ketamine Regimen! (V-1.5-UPDATED-11-22-10)

Also there's a thread discussing the topic over in ADD, link follows.

The Mechansim Behind the Powerful Antidepressant Effects of Ketamine Revealed

Hope that helps give you a quick overview of the topic with citations included.
I'm pretty sure there's a few more threads floating around ADD & elsewhere on the topic.
However, as I said don't have the time atm to dig em up but figured I'd give ya a starting point anyways.
