> Go careful here. Ketamine infusion is a pretty heavy duty intervention and patients require careful monitoring while taking the infusion and for a short term afterwards. I've been taking ketamine lozenges at home for 2+ years now. Ketamine is a very safe drug. It is used in pediatrics and on the WHO's list of essential medicines. It's hard to find any fatalities directly attributed ketamine in the literature. The infusion therapy you speak of has been used to rob patients blind. Before I found a doctor that would prescribe I was on target to waste 10k a year. And that's not even considering the wasted time of appointments in the clinic. > We know that in the US there's already a problem of "doctor shopping" -- going around doctors until you find one willing to prescribe ketamine / eskatamine. This is normally associated with harmful prescribing, although it's too early to say if that's the case with these meds. Doctor shopping refers to going to different doctors to get more medication or to divert the prescription for profit. If one is depressed and seeks treatment from a researcher and doctor in another city or state it is not doctor shopping because of the underlying medical condition. Seeking help is not a crime. Nevertheless, could you please post proof that there is a problem since you made that claim?
