I'm not. He should read the study, and find a doctor who can see whether it's right for the OP. Ketamine, especially intravenous infusion therapy for BPD/MDD patients, polarizes physicians like many drugs: to use or not use? Some docs say more research and time is needed. Some docs empathize with their patients who need that NOW, stage I-III trials be damned. Off-label therapy might be an option for Moes if his doc deems it okay. Judging by your post, I assume you work in the healthcare industry. I respect your cautious attitude, however, I only suggested this because I know a doctor who ran a clinical trial in CA. He likes it a lot, but not all of his colleagues do. Disclaimer: a family member works for the pharma co selling the NMDA receptor antagonist for this therapy.
^fair enough, I really do hope that ketamine (or something else) is the solution we have been waiting for. All the best, moes
Take solace, sweet brother in silver lining of your plight better to have brilliant day, balanced by night than dour and permanent half-light
Bipolar disorder is no joke. People throw it around kind of loosely and I have to tell them to stop, citing if they had ever met a bipolar person before.
Honestly . . .. sounds like I felt when they gave me morphine in the Hospital it was pure hell .. i could not hold a thought and was just spouting gibberish I was not in control of my own mind .. . felt . .. kind of out of body don't wish it on anyone . .. . . I hope you can work through this I had a buddy go through some episodes. . . it became too much for his wife, family and most of his friends. Strong support systems helps. . . .i stress the word STRONG Rocket River
I was standing in a book store with my ex and I noticed a book on BPD. I opened it up and began to read and I remember feeling like I was being described in great detail. Years later, after exhaustion from sleepless nights with my newborn, I had to seek professional help and they put me on mild antidepressants. Comorbidity also exists with Social Anxiety and ADHD.
Know these feels all to well. Had been seeing a psychologist for nine months and she told me our last meeting would be yesterday about two weels earlier, because she was leaving. Ive been crushed ever since. That lady knew more things about me and what was going on than my closest of family and friends. She always recommended that I go on medication but I kept refusing because I would just smoke weed instead. But damn, I think I might have to. Bipolar sucks. One of my uncle's suffers from it also. Now that school is out and I have so much dead time, my mind wanders to bad places a lot of times.
