Yeah it'd be the spray or the infusion thing. I think they have different expectations for therapeutic outcomes but I'm really not 100% sure.

AY WELCOME TO THE GANG, GANG.

Fuck them. I'm pretty sure I was in the discord community where the shork mascot was first recognised and the genesis of that community. I forget what I was kicked out over but it was clearly something stupid since I am a flawless, faultless individual.

A hugbox without theory is just a cult.

Caught because he refuses to use the obvious sewer escape route, pouting mad.

It would be so funny if a republican-leaning rich boy did the health insurance guy and a dirtbag leftist did the video game magnate. I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

Class consciousness within our lifetimes.

Yeah that's the one.

OP you just need to restructure your days better. Hexbear first, and last, "the news"? pfft. never.

Skill issue I'm from the southern hemisphere future realm and I was cursed by the emoji spam copypasta as my first finding out.

Thanks hexbear, stay up.

Fark. Please just be careful whatever you do though.

I'm with SorosFootSoldier n them as far as not wanting to see you get hurt or go further down a dark path. If we had downvotes I'm sure some of my posts would reflect a broader concern for some of the things I'm posting here.

Remember I am a drug addict who has made a lot of poor choices. Repeatedly. A track record of bad decisions.

I do stand by the therapeutic potential of these substances, though, there's really no argument as far as the research goes.

Aight I've just hit up my friendly neighbourhood biochemistry dropout, I've been looping them in on the subjects coming up in this thread, since this lozenge / sublingual dose ketamine was news to them.

They had just finished reading a paper where the ketamine was trialed in conjunction with Zoloft/sertraline. It seems like things get more complicated with the more exotic compounds like 3-HO and MXE. Definitely check with a prescribing physician and do further research, but my experience might be tainted from a period of time when the market was not a reliable source for pure ketamine and so we had to stay on the safe side.

Edit: Sorry, to put that more clearly- proper medical grade ketamine may in fact be safe to use in conjunction with some anti-depressants.

Edit #2:

yeah it's 3-MeO-PCP (and OG pcp) that has action at the SERT receptor enough that you might not wanna combine it with SSRI's

This is (apparently) not the case with ketamine. I may have been too hasty with that warning earlier.

I wish I had a better answer than a web search could provide you. I know that while I was on lexapro my go-to "street pharmacologist" kept me away from ketamine. We may have been operating from an abundance of caution type position though.

Glad you agree. I felt like a Bojack Horseman character writing that out.

You will almost certainly "feel better" temporarily. You won't have a breakthrough experience like I described in my post so that perspective has limited value in your position, my experience is closer to infusion therapy which is expensive and exclusive afaik... unless you opted to save a rainy day stash and wait for your tolerance to go down, then attempt the heroic dose self therapy thing (everybody who loves you would caution you strongly against doing this without a shitload of forethought and research and immediate support on hand if things get sketchy.)

Sadly I think the period during which you'll feel better doing regular dosing will be quite limited and you would probably become psychologically dependent on the drug to help you cope and just feel normal, once you acclimate to it. Whether you consider that getting fucked is a matter of perspective. I have no doubt it would be safer and more effective than most anti-depressants and better than doing heroin to cope with life, for example. Still, I don't think it touches anything like the full therapeutic potential of the drug as a fairly powerful tool.

Also I'd be wary of developing false hope, because a lot of these drugs which help in the short term have a tendency to turn around and bite you on the tail end.

and definitely don't mix them with anti-depressants.

edit: HAVING SAID THAT

Sometimes temporary relief is all we need to get our shit together, knock past some mental blockages and start doing the healthy life stuff that promotes better a mental and physical existence. So I'm not gonna shit on the concept entirely.
