Normally i'd want to leave a short and sweet post, but i feel like it wouldn't express how much gratitude i have for this place and Dr B !
One day i was driving and i hear on the radio that there's a new "Wonder Drug" called "Ketamine" that is now being used to treat bad stages of depression and this person on the radio was definitely preaching to the right audience. Right after i went on the internet to learn more about it and look for a clinic near me, When i went on the Nashville Ketamine website and read through all the material i thought to myself i better give this a shot which went against my past experiences.
I have been suffering from depression from a young age and have been to two drs previously one which i discontinued after two visits and one which was for almost a year, that dr recommended i start taking an anti-depressant which made me feel worse than i was and ended up not wanting to take any medication, i got better but it turned out that the problem was just being masked(I didn't know at the time) recently i had been in a very bad state, when i say bad i mean seeing no point in life !
As i am writing this i'm shocked of how distant i am from these feelings after 8 days(4 Sessions) of Ketamine the "Wonder Drug"
In our first session Dr B was able to understand my main struggles and together we set a plan(Part of it was to start going to therapy again) . The amount of light bulbs that lit up in that clinic were countless, i will state some of the wins i have encountered so far :
1- Decrease in negative thoughts
2- Not getting worked up & more accepting of unpleasant situations
3- Better Sleep, No nightmares
4- Food has taste now(You'll have to experience this one to get it)
5- Satisfied by the small things(A nice breeze)
6- Feeling content
7- House more organised/clean
8- Noticing things at workplace, places where i go out that i didn't notice before
9- Driven(If i want to do it i will, not the maybe some other time attitude)
10- Higher Energy levels
And i keep noticing things as i go, this is just the top of my list. My only advice to you in this whole process is to not worry ! Dr. B has your back
I recommend this to everyone that hasn't been feeling themselves lately and needs that push to move forward and reach their full potential
It's ok not to be ok, what's not ok is not to do anything about it !
When it comes to the cost, think of it as that dream get away that you save months for. A good quality life is worth so much more( Dr. B would probably run the clinic for free if he could)
I hope this inspires someone one day to take that same leap of faith that i took and i will keep this updated as i go !
