Saved my husbands life. He was relieved in hours. It’s been a yea and 1/2 and he’s had a few treatments more but feels so good now he doesn’t feel a need for more. He’s been clinically depressed for 25 years and would encourage everyone to do this if they have no hope.

*Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.*

I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source

Yes *Mr.Luccas024* ..Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

THe problem is - it is the Ketamine INFUSIONS that work excellent. And it's near impossible for folks to get an intraveneous infusion at home for Ketamine. This kind of treatment that works best is done in a clinic or hospital setting because an infusion pump and monitoring of BP and such is needed. The oral compounded troches don't work anywhere near as good as an intravenous infusion.

My experience has been a bit different. I have bipolar depression and it took about seven infusions before I responded and we found my optimal dose (1.42mg/kg) and method of injection (10% in my arm and 90% in the bag). If we had given up after three infusions assuming i wouldn’t respond my story would not be written because i wouldn’t be here. I go for an infusion every 3-4 weeks and have responded beautifully. I take no other mood stabilizers or ADs (because i don’t respond). I still take clonazepam for my anxiety but I take less than before.

The phrase "many will feel distinctly improved" is a great exaggeration. I had it and it did nothing as did many of my comrades with PTSD. If you want to go on a great trip and get stoned for 2 weeks Ketamine is for you but it is very costly and it's effectiveness is about the same as SSRIs and SNRI drugs. It did nothing for my suicidal ideations. In fact it made them worse.

Question for the two docs in the vid...or any other MD reading this ... Does the psychiatric community intend to push for FDA approval of the Ketamine INFUSIONS, so that they will no longer be "Off Label" and more insurance companies willing to cover them? I asked that same question of the two Yale DOCS promoting their Esketamine patent, and they deleted my post. So maybe some other doc not interested in protecting the Esketamine patent will answer...

@@Robin-bk2lm You are incorrect in your above suggestion. According to the National Institutes of Health database on PubMed, there are over 258 Randomized Controlled clinical trials listed with the title of "ketamine" and "Depression" in their database. So there is much clinical trial data to show these treatments are effective. Safety is also not an issue, since the FDA approved Ketamine at much higher doses than used to treat MDD, way back in 1970. "Off Label" does not mean that insurance companies do not pay for infusions. Many do, and to suggest otherwise is mis-information. What is needed is a national "Truth in Advertising" law that bans any of the specialty ketamine clinics that treat only mental health issues, to stop pedaling mis information that insurance companies do not cover "off lable" treatments. They do. What the clinics need to start doing - is tell the truth and instead inform clients that the CLINIC does not accept insurance - NOT that insurance will not cover the infusions. The ONLY WAY to find out if an insurance company will pay for the infusions, is for an MD to SUBMIT THE BILLING to the paitents insurance company, and see if the insurance company pays for it. It's the only way. The problem is - ketamine clinics that specialize in this business outright lie to potential and existing clients and suggest that insurance companies do not cover these treatments - for depression. The specialty clinics do this, because the specialty ketamine clinics that treat mental health issues want the cold hard cash, and they do not want to file insurance claims because insurance companies generally will not pay the higher fees that many of the specialty clinics charge which is often double or triple of what insurance companies are willing to pay for the treatments. This is because ketamine is extremely cheap - my hospital only pays about $28.00 per 100 mg vial of Ketamine. The majority of the cost is for the infusion service itself which many clinics are charging up to 800 dollars per infusion or more. My insurance company on the other hand only will pay for about 300 bucks per infusion. Which is why the clinics don’t take insurance - they want to charge a LOT more.

I agree, it’s terribly inconvenient and expensive. There are psychedelic telemedicine companies like Mindbloom emerging that can help with cost and convenience. You take ketamine lozenges at home and it’s much cheaper than in-office IV infusions. You could do it in the evening after work rather than having to take the day off to go into the doctor’s office. It’s still not as cheap as it should be, but I think it’s a step in the right direction.

But I can’t get better and I have; severe anxieties, dpdr(every symptom of dissociation), depression and extremely down, and I also have this thing where my relatives/thoughts related to them shows up in my head and I disappear in it without any stop. I also have an undiagnosed sleeping disorder the doctors haven’t found out about, and tried everything but it doesn’t. I’m suffering non stop 24/7 and don’t know what’s the solution for all my mental illnesses and severe suffering and my sleeping disorder.

Supervising Ketamine is on the same level as giving a vaccination. It doesn't involve a surgery room, just similar resources to coping with anaphylactic shock/allergic reaction.

​@@32toffeeman I am assuming you are asking if you can take Ketamine in a pill once or twice a day? If that is your question (I say this as a paitent not a doc - I'm not a doc) - The infusions - they are done in a doc’s office. The troche's (lozenges) yes, I took them for one month - two 50 mg lozenges a day. The problem with that though, you need nearly three times as much ketamine in lozenges, than you do with the infusions, to approach the same effectiveness. Even with that, they are no where near as good as the infusions...at least that was my experience comparing the two, but you might experience something different. The infusions are far better because the drug was designed to be administered by IV. The thing I don't like about taking lozenges internally, they made me queasy, and drowsy for much longer. With the infusions, I am pretty much good to go after about 15-30 minutes post infusion, and they don't mess up my whole day. With the lozenges, they take a lot longer to get into your system, and to get out. Actually the lozenges felt like a different drug compared to infusions - they act differently - at least for me. And the good thing about the infusions, once you do a startup - some people can go for several weeks between infusions before they need to come back for another - when the symptoms re appear. That’s how you know when you need another infusion - when the symptoms come back. For me right now, my sweet spot is about one infusion every 2 weeks, depending on my lifestyle for that month. If I eat better, get some exercise and keep busy, I can go longer. The longest I ever went between infusions was 10 weeks - that was when I took them on start up - 8 infusions over a four week period. I felt after about 6 or 7 weeks after my start up protocol, I felt a need to come back in. The only way you can really find out what works for you is to try them both. Or maybe the Esketamine spray - but that is done in docs office too.

Then find an anesthesiologist that will provide the service. There is no law that states that only Psychiatrists can set up patients or put in an order for ketamine infusions. Actually - most of the docs that supervise these infusions are MD anesthesiologists - and have the training and skills to do them, unlike Psychiatrists. Even an general practitioner MD can do them.

Everything the guy said was good EXCEPT he did not answer the question about cost honestly. Esketamine is ridiculously cost prohibitive!!! Over $600 - $900 per session + at 2 - 3 sessions per week. Worse, for-profit insurance companies DO NOT cover esketamine. At least not yet.

I’m bipolar & seriously looking into this. I understood him to say Bipolars are only allowed ONE dose? If we have the one dose and get better and then by the way you speak you revert a little bit for a while then what good does it do a Bipolar to take this treatment if they only get one chance to feel better the rest of their life and never have it again? I don’t understand it. Also the two clinics here say that they give treatments three times a week for two weeks and then it’s individual as to how often do you have to have it again. This guy said you have it twice a week so that makes me wonder if these guys don’t know what they’re doing which is scary.

@@ahmedfraz8324 i began to feel better after my 2nd session, but the way it works is like a rollercoaster where you feel better then you might feel worse for a few days but as you go, it starts to work longer and the low points stop being so low. I've had 9 or 10 sessions so far, and I feel a lot better, the lows aren't bad at all anymore and they happen less and less. It has radically changed my outlook on life to where I feel more peace and i feel more capable and confident that i can work on improving myself and my life.

The absolute worst part of taking it to stay alive isn't the cost, it isn't that its hard to get, it isn't because most doctors don't believe In it. The worst part is people of all walks of life assume your lying to take ketamine to get high.

CHeck out the pain clinics or infusion clinics in TN. There is no requirement that these infusions must be given by only clinics that provide them for mental health purposes. Any infusion clinic can do these infusions. As a matter of fact, some cancer infusion clinics in hospitals will also do them for mental health issues. You just have to call around and do your homework and don't depend only on your PCP to set you up. It took me several months of phone calls and visiting clinics to find help.

4:40 is so flawed and an indictment on the dysfunction that is the the pharmaceutical industry with all its lobbying powers. Why would any practitioner what to have a patient risk the nasty side effects and low success rates of SSRI's, when a treatment such as Ketamine is showing far superior results with far less horrible side effects.
