[quote=Anonymous]I did a series of 6 infusions with the Care Clinic in Fairfax for treatment resistant depression. It didn’t help me. I felt my depression lift for about an hour after the third treatment, then for two days after the fifth, but that was it. No lasting relief at all. I said to my psychiatrist afterwards “I feel like this is not the magic bullet it is marketed as” and he said that that has been the case for most of his patients—it hasn’t been of much help. But YMMV, your DD could be one of the lucky ones. It definitely helps for some—but most of them need maintenance treatments.

Plan on an entire day for each infusion—you need a clear free mind going into each treatment, and you are completely wiped out afterwards. You will need to drive her. If it makes her sick, they should administer an anti-nausea medication with it. Also, it is a psychedelic, so bad trips are possible-just be aware of that. I had one really positive trip, one scary bad one, and 4 that I would describe as neutral. [/quote]
