> My Ketamine doctor did not feel the nasal spray would have anywhere near the effects of IV K. She explained why and it made sense. Im all for going to the bloodstream directly. I think crossing the blood brain barrier was a big issue.

Actually, intranasal administration circumvents the BBB. Intravenous still requires that ketamine cross the BBB. In general, I think I.V. ketammine is more effective. However, since many people respond to intranasal ketamine robustly, it seems like it is worth trying first. I don't know what advantages there are to using intranasal esketamine compared to ketamine. All I know is that ketamine is dirt-cheap and can be administered at home.
