How Ketamine Cured My Depression

[@gigiatkins5923]

I love that English is your second language and you have explained your experience with more brilliance and clarity than anybody I’ve listened to before

[@freckles2773]

Ketamine is a game changer. I didn’t even know I was depressed, I thought it was just anxiety. After my 6 treatments I am a changed person. I wish I had had this treatment 20 years ago.

[@kurtcocain86]

Did you go to a treatment centre if I may ask? I'm Belgian and over here it's still illegal and mostly known for being a party drug or for anaesthetic purposes.

[@gayle9362]

My best friend started her first treatment today! I'm so excited to hear about it and she's totally blind. We're excited for her ☺️👍

[@battlehymnoftheempath3610]

I take it for childhood PTSD. So far so good.

[@tinataylor4203]

I’m doing ketamine treatments also an I feel the same as every word you said. I’ve never felt life without trauma an it’s amazing! Subscribed

[@dianaronsal9783]

I am so glad to hear that you found relief from trauma. It is so liberating

[@ketaminetherapy]

Thank you for sharing! You are an amazing human being and I am so grateful that you are sharing your healing journey with others. You are an inspiration!

[@johanna_depena]

Thank you for sharing this. I begin ketamine therapy next week and am really excited and hopeful especially after hearing what it did for you.

[@dianaronsal9783]

i am wishing the most healing journey possible.

[@Awakeonuwu]

As someone who abused ketamine before getting treatments, I can confidently say that Ketamine WITH therapy, is a completely different and superior drug that actually helps compared to abusing street bought ketamine for the same purpose. I’m on Joyous and it works, and no need to worry about bladder issues since it’s low dose!

[@carlagat1075]

I'm with Joyous I'm waiting for my shipment. It's working well for you??

[@audrianadavis8287]

I just got approved for Joyous. How is it for you?

[@carlagat1075]

​@audrianadavis8287 Day 3, so far so good.

[@linamarie84]

I'm shocked they even gave it to you. The company I go through made a BIG deal about it and stated that if a person is addicted to something they must be off of that substance first and or if they have an addictive personality they wouldn't prescribe it.

[@Five416]

You are awesome thank you I’m so happy that ur feeling better well

[@KylesBodyandBraintips]

Ketamine is the best treatment they got I did the nasal spray 3 years back they don't believe me when I say it changed my mind about life and perspective to perceptions!! Good video !

[@lmalbeuf]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Ketamine, and I am so happy that it had a positive effect for you.

[@karenmartinat6158]

You did a beautiful job of explaining your journey! My experience also felt like a connection back to my Soul! ❤

[@dianaronsal9783]

thank you for your kind comment. Hope ketamine helped you with whatever you needed help with

[@TheBucklandgrp]

Agreed, you nailed it

[@hollyalong2780]

Girlll you made my cry tears of joy for you and tears of hope for myself. ❤

[@dianaronsal9783]

there is always hope. I belive in you and wishing your the soonest healing

[@ClaireHarper-ke8dj]

I love your story, I just stumbled upon it and glad I found your story. I have been in same position and have been thinking of ketamine, I’m just afraid of like a bad trippy experience. SSRI make me worse I have tried all. Only thing helps my anxiety is Xanax but the sad low mood no motivation is unbearable. Thank all of you sharing your stories in comments. You may have given me the courage to try. I’m like her I don’t drink do drugs etc except the Xanax as needed. Thank you everyone and love and light to all.

[@audreyburton5367]

Thanks for sharing, very informative. Take care.

[@dianaronsal9783]

thank you!

Side topic, I'm a bit concerned about the mass in your neck. This could possibly be a thyroid issue that would 100% cause depression, mood changes, anxiety, hormone imbalances and much more. I would recommend you get it checked out. Sorry for just throwing that out there but, thyroid issues run in my family and I've seen first hand what it can do. Get it checked out!!!

[@dianaronsal9783]

thanks a lot for the concern! I am just fat.

[@brandonpiazza6210]

I have to say, I was concerned too. Great info on the video, but I did feel like her neck needed to be checked. She’s not fat, as she joked. And I have had issues that were so obvious to others but I couldn’t see staring back at me in the face! Denial is a big part of depression. I hope she takes you’re advice! I think it is wise and well intentioned.

[@jeanowens3406]

As someone with thyroid issues I thought the same thing. Please have a Dr. check on that.

[@lindseycoggin5926]

My son has had 3 ketamine infusions in the last few weeks. They give him zofran to counteract the nausea. The nausea part is gone with a few hours. He complains of a headache as well which subsides within several hours.

[@pjf2193]

Unfortunately I was denied this treatment because I suffer from hypertension. I'm glad it worked for you.

[@ClaireHarper-ke8dj]

That’s a shame if you need it can they allow you to take blood pressure meds and do. I’m thinking about doing but am a red of it 😢😂

[@linamarie84]

I would HIGHLY recommend Amino Acids before ANYTHING else.

[@nondualitywithdonna3402]

Yes please do another video

[@jasongarcia2140]

I understand the last straw feeling it happened to me i am still in trauma and i am going to apply for ket therapy because im usually happy and being sad all the time is so so terrible

[@funduslove]

Thank your for sharing your experience

[@smavi4133]

I had around 10? (can't really remember, that's how severe my depression was back then) treatments. It was administrated via IV, and: it did absolutely nothing for me! I was simply in some weird, mild meditative state and felt very dizzy after "waking up". No shift in my thought patterns, I experienced the whole ordeal purely physical. I didn't experience any nausea or anything. So after having those treatments, I heard different people say different things. Some say that the regular dose given via IV aren't therapeutic enough, some say that the IV administration itself isn't really effective on itself, some even suggested me to "snort small amounts of ketamine freebase/crystals" in order to have the "real deal" and experience the full therapeutic potential. I really don't know what to think about this therapy tbh. I don't know if I should reconsider this whole ketamine thing again or just let it be.

[@mpeg2000]

For me the whole low dose stuff didn't work. I just felt weird like you said. It was just until i had a full breakthrough. Research also proves that the best results come from high doses where people reach a full ego dissolution. I know this sounds a bit crazy but the moment my ego died i woke up as pure infinite consciousness. I remembered that i am all there is and that i created this physical realm to experience myself through all things in existence. I want everything. Good and bad, Black and white. It's all about the duality of things because in the real reality it's only oneness. When i woke up in my physical body i laughed and cried at the same time. All my issues seemed ridiculous and even if I still have to work on them there is a lightness to it now since i know I'm just meant to experience it to its fullest. I hope you find this kind of relief too my friend. We're all one.

[@robsonf6683]

Ive been suffering for 4 years. Covid got a hold of me and I developed several problems. Depression is one. Im going to try Ketamine Therapy.

[@Mali-qq6tl]

Great video. I a also would like to know if you're saying the nausea is still there or was it temporary. Thanks for posting this.

[@dianaronsal9783]

hi! thanks a lot for watching the video. it is temporary. it lasts for a couple of hours for sure. But! I have noticed that if i exercise (intensely) prior the ketamine session, i dont experience any nausea whatsoever.

[@karenmartinat6158]

Prior to ketamine my provider gives me medicine for nausea also a ginger capsule

[@Mannsy83]

How long did the positive results last?

[@bmac1659]

You explained well.

[@WendyAchatz]

This is great to hear, thanks for posting. Will you do another video on it?

[@dianaronsal9783]

hi Wendy! Yes, I plan to do a general ketamine overview video and another video where I will take you to one of the ketamine sessions with me to the clinic. and maybe another one on how to prepare for a ketamine session properly that will allow you to minimize side effects and maximize the psychological and mental help of ketamine. lol, lots of things are coming

[@WestLAComputerExpertLosAngeles]

please so a follow up!

[@SouledOutToChrist]

Does it work long term?

[@dianaronsal9783]

as far as I understand, it depends. for some it does, for others, some yearly maintenance sessions are needed. It is all relatively new and more research is required.

[@ivypittman6654]

How often and how many treatments do people do?

[@robr3621]

are you in san diego?

[@sparkely1122]

I’m going to do it but I’m scared to do it and what if I panic can they turn the drug off or will I trip out for an hour straight!? I want this so bad but I’m terrified of drugs

[@GreatMindsSeekTruth]

My psychiatrist just sent a referral out for me to do the nasal ketamine treatment. “What if I panic? Can they turn the drug off?” 😂 You took the thoughts right out my mind!

[@sparkely1122]

@@GreatMindsSeekTruth haha it’s scary!!! They told me that if they needed to they would give Ativan which would stop the entire session and you’d come to . So that’s at least reliving 🤩

[@saintluke2nd]

the nausea and negative physical effects are only temporary, correct?

[@dianaronsal9783]

hi! the side effects that i experienced were very temporary. sorry i wasnt clear on that in the video.

[@sundoesshine8583]

@@dianaronsal9783 I'm doing spravato and have been prescribed an anti nausea drug to take 45 min before...

[@nikibarbiewu4663]

Were treatments covered by insurance or how much for each session?

[@beccaseward8709]

Hey- tx is not covered by insurance as right now IV K is off label. My initial 6 treatments cost $3000 without the therapist included.

[@mpeg2000]

​@@beccaseward8709It's crazy how americans get screwed by the healthcare system if you think about how dirt cheap ketamine is. A therapeutic dose doesn't cost even a dollar. So even if you count in a fancy location it really shouldn't cost that much.

[@kennyplay5982]

So they gave you a shot in the arm? Question. Why did you get that rather than IV, or pill? Thank you

[@dianaronsal9783]

all forms of administration lead to basically different experiences and have different absorption levels. when ketamine is administered through an IV, your experience is quite gradual and somewhat milder. Some people can still talk and be aware of themselves. The same seems to be confirmed with pills. Another point with pills is that the available dosage in pills is relatively small; thus, the experience will also be less psychedelic. With a shot in the arm, your psychedelic experience will kick in within 2 minutes and will last for around 45 -60 minutes in total. But I am not a professional, so take my response with a grain of salt.

[@dianaronsal9783]

also, the clinic that I used does not offer any other way of administration

[@Ivearted]

👍❤️

[@bobstuckrath1805]

Gosh. I wish I were rich too.

[@corinnefoley905]

I have insurance and found a place to do it for 200$ per session (six sessions). It’s still expensive but it’s becoming more affordable.

[@freiagalacar5786]

People should know that although ketamine helps with depression it also causes significant memory loss. It definitely should not be done too often for that reason, especially if you’re in school.

[@fergusfitzgerald977]

What you are saying here is what a lot of drug addicts say they feel when they do Drugs ! Important point here is "Do Drugs " that is their FIRST experiences on Drugs - later these effects diminish being replaced by a dependancy !

[@dianaronsal9783]

It didn't work for me and now I'm just out $3000 dollars 🥹

I am so sorry to hear that.

[@sundoesshine8583]

Sorry to hear this as well. I tried oral ketamine and it did nothing. I was approved for Spravato and am hoping it will work but it's good to hear from the 20% it doesn't work for to prepare myself, in case it doesn't. ps, If you think you might have adhd, get diagnosed as the med I'm trying seems to make me a bit happier.
