Ketamine is good and it's nice to see the recommendation but you are wayyyyyyy low on your numbers haha.
Minimum induction that basically every clinic follows is the 6 session schedule.
From there the standard is to slowly taper down to once every 4-6 weeks. Some patients cannot taper and so need more constant.
For example, I'm more "Ketamine resistant" so I was on 2 weeks for a while, then 3, then about a year in I made it to 4, 5, then 6 with the help of doctor prescribed at home dosing.
About $10,000-$12,000 out of pocket for a year's worth of infusions for me. Saved my life and turned it around, so totally worth it.
Also...the spiritual benefits. I think that alone, having that seed planted is invaluable. To me.
But for nearly everyone the effect wears off after 4 weeks (hence the need for a response w/ Ketamine). So it's what one does over a few years to shift their brain superstructure that I think weans them off. And all that BDNF + everything else flying around in there haha.
