sucka said:I also read that some renegage practitioners (psychologists/psychiatrists) used ecstasy as part of their program and that it yielded positive results. From my experiences back in the day, I didn't experience any negative state afterwards, just an occasional slurring of speech that lasted a few months. But that's insignificant if the results are positive. If it doesn't help at least you'll have what might be the most pleasant 6 hours of your life ever! Never tried ketamine though.
haha, yes, there have been reports of Docs doing things that, even in severe cases, shouldn't be done.
But there are scores of researhcers popping up in the U.S., especially in the Texas area who are using Ketamine for suicidal depression patients, and like I said, results are encouraging. It is geared towards treatment-resistant patients, which is why I asked Rick if they had tried these types of drugs. I mean, this is the new course of action in the fight against depression; treating depression in the immediate.
Here is another good read, it is a little more scientific.
