Educated, Still Unmedicated

Revisiting Matthew Perry's ketamine-related death has pretty much closed the door on my using it for my depression.  I realize his case, his history, his physiology are all likely very different from mine.  Still, that story has given me great pause.

Besides, we are still tinkering with my daily medications.  I need to let that settle down and settle in before a definitive answer about ketamine is made.

Such a terrible story. I hope those responsible get everything they deserve.

All the meds I take for MS have side effects which makes for some tough decisions. I sympathize with the aversion you are feeling now to the ketamine.

That story was chilling. It doesn't seem to be a drug anyone decides to take lightly.
