I wish this wasn't so expensive.

I do too. This will become more and more affordable as time goes on.
This clinic is the best I have found in terms of the service they provide and how trauma-informed they are. They charge $3,100 for 6 infusions, and they have financing for 0% for up to 18 months.
The best part is they have almost 0 returning clients because it’s so effective. Some come back for an occasional maintenance infusion, but most are done after 6 with lasting results. Honestly, it’s amazing.
That's def cheaper than last time I looked into it. I'll have to check my local spot's pricing again.
There are government programs available in some states. I know someone in Florida who was able to obtain treatment for free. Unfortunately the results haven't been as optimistic as we were hoping, but it has seemed to help them a little.
That's for the info! I'll look into this.
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.
Im not sure how I feel about this, my rich brother got hooked on the stuff and lost everything a few years back
So I did some searching, and it seems while it is possible for someone to become addicted to these monitored infusions, it is highly unlikely.

Oh yea no for clarity he was sniffing it, not any legal use
Omg. Is this Canada? That's amazing if it is.
