I get therapeutic ketamine with my ECT
And its been an absolute miracle for me.
I am 35, severely bipolar and adhd. Addict and alcoholic
I did troches a few years ago and I enjoyed it a lot. It was scary sometimes and I always ended up in a hole but I was noticing major leaps in my mental health. I felt just...amazing. I only stopped because sadly I got into a very abusive relationship with alcohol.
I started to do ect after resisting it for years as a last resort after ending up in a mental hospital after messing with my medications (never again). Ect was positive for me but man, when they started doing bilateral with ketamine, my life changed. I dont remember a lot of things, but hell. Its a small price to pay. I feel like a different person. Im afraid to say anything for fear of jinxing it. I do crave alcohol sometimes and I do believe that not drinking helps a great deal with my depressive and bipolar symptoms. But all the way I credit the combination of ketamine and ect. My mania is manageable and so is my depression. Its like im finally able to use skills ive learned in therapy over all the years. I make smart decisions. I can talk to people without being pissed off and flying off the handle. Its tremendous.
Feel free to ask me anything. I want to help if I can. My doctors have changed my life. Im so grateful for them. I owe them my life.
