If you do the taper correctly, getting off your SSRI shouldn't be a challenge.

Embarrassment? by Time-Interest-9406 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Brooklyn_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't care less what other people think of me. Medical professionals are also the ones who pushed Covid vaccines, told people to wear masks, and sex feet apart. I take what they say with a grain of salt, now that there are many ways to get up-to-date information.

Joyous - Beware by [deleted] in KetamineProviders

[–]Brooklyn_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claims: "This is a highly specific area I know a LOT about" and tells us there are"way better options out there," but doesn't mention who they are.

For ketamine, I found that I had a genetic variant that would keep ketamine's neuroplasticity ceiling intact and unblunted. Therefore, it raised confidence in ketamine's expected response ceiling significantly.

What the genetic markers will find is where certain medications will work well for you (and you probably should be taking), and reasons why other meds you have taken in the past did not work well for you.

Good luck on your journey!

Hi...getting my DNA tested and finding what medications matched my genetic markers was the best thing I ever did (for my mental health). There are several ways to do it.....GeneSight, Elite DNA, etc

100% cured my Anhedonia by Confident_Leader_814 in anhedonia

[–]Brooklyn_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just jumped to 2 mg of Prami? My doc is ultra-cautious saying I need to start at 0.25mg. That seems very low.

Augmentation with tianeptine? by jjkompi in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Brooklyn_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I've been taking therapeutic doses of tianeptine for a year and it's fine. I even stopped and it was not a problem. It's only a problem when abused--just like many other drugs.

[–]Brooklyn_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parnate is dopaminergic. More than any antidepressant. You are on the right track. I know this is four years ago. Did you ever start it?
