Sidebar : I will vouch for ketamine or more specifically methoxetamine (MXE) treatment (synthetic ketamine). I've seen two people seemingly erase bipolar depression with MXE. Clearly there is something happening there.

I would trust MXE more than ketamine because it can't result in total dissociation (K-hole) and still leaves one present and aware of time and surroundings.

EDIT: not saying K/M-hole is a medical treatment that anyone would receive. Just saying that one is different and potentially more useful than the other

Total disassociation was where the real work happened, for me. Most clinics won’t give you anywhere near that amount though.

I was in the one of the first clinicals trial for ketamine in the South; it legitimately saved my life from severe depression.

I would love to keep occasionally using it as a treatment when needed (I still have moderate depression and anorexia) but it’s way too cost prohibitive and my insurance sucks.

I can say with my full confidence no experienced professional would ever give you so much K to put you anywhere near a K-hole.

I fully agree and understand your last point. Just sharing experience. I still believe small doses of MXE have the possibility of being more effective that K. But MXE being a designer drug, it is near impossible to study
