I know an anecdote isn’t data, but I’m a pretty straight laced guy who’s never used an illegal drug other than pot, so no prior experience with any psychedelics (except for taking an Ambien on an empty stomach lol). I started ketamine therapy a few weeks ago, and while I obviously can’t prove that it isn’t the placebo effect at work, my mood was tremendously and noticeably improved immediately after my first course of medication. And it’s had an immediate beneficial effect on my regular/traditional therapy sessions. It just feels like it was a missing piece to a puzzle I’ve been working on for a long time.

I want to see the science continue to study these drugs and psychedelic therapy, but for me there’s no doubt in my mind this has been significantly more beneficial in the short term than any other medication I’ve ever taken (i.e., been prescribed). If the science shows it isn’t right for everyone or most people - so be it. But it has been a game-changer for me.
