I did manage to get set up with a therapist. First session next week

Treatment went well last night. Increased to 75 mg/kg with a 10mg push in the beginning this time. Little more intense, but better. Again i come out of it faster but balance is effected for longer for rest of day. All in all my mood is definitely better. Fatigue and modivation not effected as...

So far day 15 on diet and bloating is a lot better. actually I am having more issues with diarrhea then constipation. I may need to bring fat down some. Weight is consistent. Which is good, if anything I hope to put some muscle back on.

Last thing I tried before going carnivore was just that, read his book. spent fortune on supplements. No luck. I do still have a appointment to work directly with him. He is booked solid, not in till November.

5th treatment update: We increased dosage to 70mg/kg this time, 5mg push in the beginning. Not much noticeable difference in last dosage. Again, treatment seems to go by faster and I come out of it more quickly. Still loss of balance for the rest of the day. Slept like a baby though. So...

agreed, I have had a similar experience

if anyone can help, defy can. I think you made a good choice. be strong and good luck.

I know, insurance not great though

I had my 4th treatment yesterday. Increase in dose. 60 mg/kg of body weight. still a 5 mg bump in the beginning. I fasted this time. Fasting seems to help for some reason. this treatment seemed less intense then previous dose, but better. It also seemed to go by faster. I feel like I...

I was looking into getting over seas without a prescription. But I am getting some mixed information as to weather or not it will show up on a urine analysis as an opiate. Big concern for me because of my employment. Not sure if anyone ran across any information on this. Otherwise I will...

welcome to the forum, good luck.

Third treatment today went well. They upped my dose again. 55 mg/kg with 5 mg push to start things off. I definitely felt the push. I really felt like my ego dissolved this time. I am not sure how to explain it. I have noticed with the increase comes more tiredness afterwards, but I do...

I have heard that. Alot of serotonin is made in the gut. Hopefully treating depression will have an impact. I know stress is a issue for sure. I will try to see how it is impacted and add that to my on going ketamine thread, thanks

Glad you are having good luck with it. I have higher SHBG and tried daily shots. I liked the protocol and smaller injections, but overall didn't have and subjective benefits, so I went back to E3.5D. It seems like successful daily injections are very individual.

One month would probably be the longest on it. Will depend on energy levels. I was pretty low on carbs already

I don't do well with dairy, gluten free also

Have been paleo for a couple years, probiotic foods make bloat worse

Having gut issues most likely due to ibs-c. I have tried several elimination diets, last being fodmap. I have not had much luck. I am on day 4 of carnivore diet to see the effects. Plan on staying on for about a month. Then slowly start introducing foods. So far less bloating...

2nd treatment today. 45mg/kg over 50 minutes this time. Bumped it up some from last. Definitely more intense but not in a bad way. I do feel like I recovered fast this time following completion. next treatment on Monday. So far I have been feeling better. We will see how this weekend goes.

I would read it! Rumination is the big issue for me. I hope to break that cycle and once I can start more clear, I can do the day to day things to keep me mentally healthy on my own. Nelson is correct, I forgot to add to earlier reply, You DO need to have been diagnosed with depression/mental...

Cash based Insurance may cover, probably not for me. Doc works full time in intensive care unit at local hospital, does this as side gig. Consult - $100 IV infusion -$425 Intial cycle of 6 treatments in 2 -3 week span. Driver needed for after treatment. Boosters needed every so often...

I have ready calming music is the way to go. The clinic I was at had a noise machine with calming sounds and white noise. I wanted to try to completely isolate my surroundings. I used the eye mask that nelson had suggested in another thread. it worked great. The feeling kind of comes on...

1st treatment went well. About an 1 hr 20min. total. 30mg per kg body wieght. Good experience. Fasted, ear plugs, face mask. Still early to tell. Little tipsy yet about hour later.

I have my first ketamine IV infusion today for depression. Little nervous but excited. Hope to update later today. Wish me luck gentleman! Background on ketamine and depression

witch hazel for sure and epsom salt baths

I have not tried it yet but would like to due to ibs issues. I am having trouble getting a prescription. What are the reasons you are on metformin? Is it just insulin sensitivity? I think stepping up the dosage slow like you are is a good call!

If the whey isolate is making you feel bad, I suggest stop drinking it. Some don't do well with it. You would try different plant proteins or Hydrolyzed beef isolate. Whey protein bothers my gut bad, but I don't do well with dairy in general. Collagen protein works well for me also. Bad...

I had a similar experience with cordyceps as MarkM. but I was not on as long as he, nor was I doing much endurance activity, which I believe it is suppose to help with. I did find Reishi helps calm me and increased sleep performance. (i used four-sigmatic brand...good brand, but very...

I think you are making a reasonable call on the situation. It would probably still be wise to get a full panel of tests done now when you feel well for a good baseline. Then maybe annually here on out. Just a thought!

welcome wellsoci, How is everything else in your life. It's great that working-out is a priority in your life. How about - sleep and diet. Is everything else dialed in? Could possible lifestyle changes help? I know when I found out about TRT, I was hesitant and spent a good year on life...

Nelson, I am thinking of wearing something to cover my eyes. Have you tried that?
