Ketamine saved my life. It’s proven to be extremely effective against suicidal ideation. The trip is definitely part of it.

I’ve switched to shrooms and one trip every 3-6 months seems to reliably keep depression and panic disorder at bay. It did require some work and I really had to process some awful memories from my childhood.

But these things did more for me than years of psychiatric meds ever did - literally dozens of them. Mirtazapine made me gain weight - 60 lbs in a year. Prozac gave me bruxism and I cracked 3 dental crowns in a month. Effexor turned me into a suicidal yet somehow also emotionless zombie. I got addicted to Ativan and couldn’t sleep without it. I’m off it all, and happier than I’ve ever been.
