I really want to try this. I don't particularly suffer from depression, and only very occasional and mild, situational anxiety. I'm just interested in the pick-me-up.

You may be a good candidate for KAP (ketamine-assisted psychotherapy) where ketamine is administered orally through a rapid dissolving tablet in lower doses than during infusions. Afterwards, you have an integrating session. It’s a different experience and not as intense. But I would say infusions are the current golden standard for depression and anxiety treatment.

I'm currently doing it. It's around $140 a month. You're given instructions on what to do and the Ketamine is shipped to your door. Its been an awesome experience so far. This time of year I always get smacked with seasonal depression. It's been a lot more manageable.
