This. I've read some horror stories about patients that received infusions which for a time, gave them their life back, and suddenly for all intents and purposes it became ineffective. Some people described going back to feeling depressed after seeing the alternative to be even less bearable.
I'm eager to see it come to market, and for it to work, but I'm scared to work with my doctor to try it based on those stories.
- rincebrain 8y agoCan confirm that this happens. To put it mildly, not the most pleasant experience of my life, but still looking forward to seeing where the next iterations on rapid-acting antidepressants go, and whether they turn out to be any more durable. (Also quite curious to see what research crops up about why the effects are sometimes not durable, but that's gonna be a decent wait.)
