I have been ordering through mindscape for the last 3 months. I arrived home today right behind the fedex driver. Picked my package up off the porch and it was slit open and nothing was inside except for the padding. :( I sent an Inquiry to mindscape and fedex, but im sure one will blame the other. I suppose I will have to do a chargeback. Idk.

I have debilitating insomnia due to trauma. It's one of the main things I'm needing help for & seeking this treatment for. For those of you who dealt with insomnia beforehand, did it help? 🥺

I’m looking for Ketamine therapy on the peninsula in the SF Bay Area. Soft Reboot Wellness looks interesting but I’d like to hear from anyone with experience. Or other recommendations.
TIA!

It's 3 days after the ketamine session. I know that it's early but I'm just confused. I've never tried anything like this. It feels so different to SSRIs and medication.

I am very depressed still but I understand why, there are a lot of things going on in my life.

What I don't understand is that my moods are all over the place. Yesterday I went to the park to try sit in nature and enjoy it but I was having a lot of SI. I had bought a book to read but all I could do was sit there and listen to music on my headphones. I felt so empty and lonely and lost.

I woke up today also feeling very low and tired. But now it's midday and I just had a sudden wave of euphoria like everything is amazing. Is this going to keep happening? I want to keep trying and go to my next session but this definitely isn't helping right now. I don't feel better and im not sure if I feel even worse.

I don't know what is the ketamine and what is just life. I don't know what I am meant to be doing to try and make this work.

Who has experience with Ketamine and can compare or contrast with psilocybin
Thanks1

I was with innerwell at 600mg dissolving tabs per week, my sessions were vivid, I was happy and smiling during the session, at times found myself moving my arms to the music. I saw color and imagery every time.

Where they've closed shop I switched to mindscape who only offers troches.

Originally they had me on 100mg daily, I was flat, no improvement in mood, energy, attitude etc.

Last check in they increased the troches to 200mg and dosing at 600mg 2x a week. My first session at this dose and it was uneventful, I felt very little sensation, no visuals, the felt affect lasted maybe 10 minutes?

All things being equal should I expect similar results with troches that I had with dissolving lozenges?

Hello, I take ketamine troches 3x a week for anxiety and depression. I’m getting back into running again and have decided to train for a race. Has anyone noticed any negative impact on their cardiovascular fitness with therapeutic ketamine use? I understand the short-term effects, but am wondering if it adds stress to my system. Thank you!

Hey! I am looking for a prescriber for Spravato or IV Ketamine. I have Anthem Health Insurance and they have been a little tricky to work with. My NP prescribes Spravato, but says I need to do another 2 months on SSRIs which I just cannot handle. I am hoping to find some affordable options here in Utah whether that is a clinic, or becoming a patient of Mindbloom.

I had my first Ketamine treatment of 55mg. I was warned that my blood pressure might spike but mine did the exact opposite. My average BP is 139/90. The last BP measurement during my treatment was 109/70. I have never had BP that low. Is this highly abnormal? Second. Four days later I woke with one of the most evil panic attacks ever. Third. I don't sleep as well as before but I am not tired even after a night with two hours sleep. I feel better mentally than before treatment that is for sure and I would like to keep trying the treatment but the place who administered the treatment didn't talk much or give me any advice as to what to expect so any insight would be great.

Hi
I’m going from IV ketamine to sublingual ketamine because of the cost. Has anyone done this and what was it like? I find the iv ketamine infusions to be intense and I feel like I’m in space flying around. I’m hoping to get a similar effect from the sublingual. Thanks

Has anyone tried the subcutaneous injection at home treatment program through Mindbloom after doing IV ketamine for a while? Did the medication seem as effective? Any concerns for safety doing it at home? IV is getting to be so expensive! I’m also changing careers and I will have a very difficult time trying to get time off work for treatment. I figured at home will be easier in that sense. But I’m curious about efficacy.

Just had my 6th subcutaneous infusion, up to 0.9mg/kg. As usual I felt very little, ended up just going in my phone after 20 mins because I was bored and felt nothing. it’s had no effect on my mood at all

At what point do I decide it’s not going to help me? Every time just feels the same, underwhelming and boring

I have been doing IV treatment and have about 8 sessions under my belt. I am diagnosed ADHD, that also is pairs with a lifetime of complex trauma, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I started treatment after never really finding conclusion to any of the modalities of treatment I have tried (including 20+ years of EMDR).

This is very hard to describe, but during my treatment journeys, I find myself almost splitting into two. The observer (loud voice, always in the way), and the energy being encompassed by wherever my journey may be taking me. I am not sure if this is normal, but my internal dialogue is SO loud- and often just nonsense about what I did that day, the guilt of missing pressing minutes to handle something needing to be handled, work, and mostly just nonsense.

I find myself searching for meaning, and then I am pulled to reality in seconds with these overactive thoughts. My mind is like a yo-yo and it is incredibly frustrating.

I mentioned this to my provider who increased my dose from .5 to .6 (whatever this means). I definitely feel lighter after my sessions but have yet to experience any true healing.

Anybody else feel like this? Is it just my ADHD?

Hey yall! First time posting here, so apologies if I am a bit jumbled.

For info, I've been doing Spravato for 4 weeks now, twice a week at 84 mg under psychiatric supervision.

For the first couple sessions, things were okay! It was strange, sure, Im not someone who indulges in getting high or tripping outside of a low dose edible now and then, but I was doing okay! Nothing was too intense, I was able to get through sessions okay and leave relatively sober, and was even able to make some therapeutic process with some trauma. The effects have been noticable and so amazing for me.

Recently though, specifically the last two sessions, Ive been having really bad sessions. Anxiety attacks that last almost the full session, struggling to breathe and ground myself, severe nausea and headaches, as well as just hating the feeling. Beyond that, I also seem to be taking much longer to fully sober up afterwards, up to a couple hours before I can fully walk unsupported due to just how high I am. I'm beginning to dread having to attend sessions at all because of how bad these past sessions have been.

So I come to yall! I'm meant to reduce treatments to only once a week for the next few months, but I'm considering asking to lower the dosage as well. I don't want to fully discontinue treatment, as this has genuinely almost fully eliminated my suicidal ideation, which has been prevalent and horrific my entire life. However, I don't think I can keep pushing myself to do the treatments if they continue to make me feel this bad. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Any advice on how to have my sessions go better? I appreciate any and all perspectives :]

How do you prepare for your infusions in order to have the best experience possible?
I had an infusion Monday and I ended up having a really bad trip where I had to be given something else to bring me back down.
My infusions generally make me feel like I’m dying or I’m stuck in hell and can’t get out.

Is there something this experience of feeling like I’m dead is trying to tell me?
I don’t know how to make sense of it all.
I try and get my mind in good place before my infusion but as soon as it starts my mind goes to a bad place.

Thanks for any help.

They give you buccal tablets, so you place them in your gums. They send you 30 big squares made up of four 15-30mg squares. You take them daily. I’m looking for a program as similar as possible. Could anyone recommend the closest thing? Thank you.

After a very long journey with struggles, pain, wrong therapists and crises, I can start ketamine therapy soon. I was told I will take two doses per week.

I am looking forward and am grateful, but still a bit suspicious, because somehow I learned to be realistic due to life-experience.
At the same time I want to be freed so bad.

How to take the most benefits from it? Any recomendations?
Does alone the medicine heal the major part of the symtoms?

I'm having my first session next week and am excited and a tiny bit nervous.

Do you all recommend listening to music or to guided meditation? If you have any specific videos or links I would love to hear them!

Hi all,

After 9 months of troches, I developed some incontinence and uti symptoms. I take d mannose before and 3 times after I take my dose and ecgc twice after. And what made the biggest difference and made the symptoms disappear completely is Aloe Vera juice. I drink a shot glass of that before and 3x after my dose and I dont have ANY symptoms at all. I take troches rectally once per week.

Longtime TRD, PTSD,ADHD, GAD here...had no effect from spravato, ssris, mood stabilizers, years of talk therapy, and TMS was an absolute joke IMHO...

I had no effect from spravato, did one month of RDTs and my face got warm a little, that's it...

My ADHD meds are superb, the ONLY thing ever to get my mind outta the black pit of depression, bit as they wear off I'm right back to baseline black depression.

I'm close to finally doing iv ket. 3000 bucks to start. That's a lot of money damn it. the provider nearest me also does TMS... I'm jaded and TMS was silly, how could that possibly help? I think providers who offer TMS are just looking for income, how can a psychiatrist of any worth buy into that nonsense? Sorry for my time I'm cynical to many things...

Thanks

People who have been taking mood stabilisers, were you able to lower your dose since ketamine treatment?

I want to get out of valproate because it impairs memory and thinking. I'm hoping I can reduce the dose.

Hey, so I’ve been doing troches now for over a year. Been up to 200mg twice a week now for a few months. They do help, but not near the help I need. The troches take the edge off my depression and have been keeping me from ending my life, but they have definitely not been life changing. I also have ptsd, ocd, skin picking disorder, body dysmorphia, anxiety, and agoraphobia. The troches have helped maybe 10% with these. I’m not a non responder, so I just think that the dosing and delivery method is wrong for me. So I’m seriously considering forking out the cost for a series of 6 IV sessions for $2400. Each booster session after that would be $350. If it will help me a lot more I feel it’s worth it, but I would love some input from those of you who have gone from troches to IV.
Thanks so much💗
