I can't believe it. For the first time I have posted a message here and I got no response.
Isn't there anyone with Ketamine experience?

Hey, sorry for the delayed posting. Yes, i have 'plenty' of experience with ketamine, all of it illegally, though. This was years ago, but I can still vividly recall the effects it had, and at the time, I was on Paxil and Klonopin. It def. has some sort of antidepressive qualities to it, although I don't know if the synergy with the SSRI had anything to do with it, and the mood lift lasted well after my last dose (of the ketamine). Also, ive read that benzodiazepines have a neuroprotective effect on the brain from the damaging side effects of the ketamine. While i certainly did not know this at the time, it may well explain the help I got from the ketamine, insofar that I was also taking (prescribed) Klonopin at the same time. If you want more detailed info, feel free to ask!
