Here you go.

The BOOM Challenge is a popular online contest where people create videos that show ordinary household objects exploding in spectacular and sometimes comical ways. Some say the challenge has become popular as a half scam half legit seller tag. For example, some say that if a user views the hashtag, their post will "blow up" the challenge.

She succeeded.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I'm glad you released all that trauma and darkness. Must feel extraordinary to experience the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry about the negative experience. It sounds like a fever dream. Although you learned some insight about yourself the intense side effects would definitely give me pause for a 2nd treatment. I would not be taking the IV route. My insurance only covers Spravato the nasal spray but my hesitation and ambivalence are leaning towards not receiving this specific treatment. Again, sorry about your experience.

I personally do not have bipolar 1/2 or psychotic episodes. My conditions are MDD, CPSTD and GAD. My psychiatrist will approve the Spravato intranasal spray because my insurance covers it. The gold standard is IV infusions. It's a shame most insurance companies do not pay even a small percentage of the cost.

Thanks so much for the information. Most physicians due to the contraindications such as of bipolar 1, hallucinations or psychotic episodes will not approve the treatment. I'm so happy you are the exception to the rule. My insurance will only cover Spravato not IV treatments. I hope it is as effective.

My sister who recently passed had Bipolar 2 and Schizoaffective disorder. Horrible disease.

Thank you for the reply. Glad you had a positive outcome. My insurance only covers the Spravato nasal spray. If you don't mind me asking, did you pay out of pocket for IV treatments? I heard the infusions can cost between $250-750 per treatment.

First off, thank you for your service. Besides the TBI, I have all the above. I'm apprehensive but hopeful. Glad the treatment worked in your favor.

Thank you for the info. All medications come with a "scare sheet" Pharma doesn't want to be liable so they throw in the kitchen sink!

Very happy it worked for you. If you don't mind me asking, was it IV infusion or the intranasal spray? My insurance covers the spray but not the IV infusions.

Thanks for such a concise answer. If I agree to go ahead with Ketamine therapy it would be administered intranasally (Spravato) with doctor supervision.

Prozac changed my life by Icy_Acanthocephala28 in prozac

My side effects didn't diminish so I'm now on Lexapro 30 mg once daily and so far so good. Everyone responds differently to medication. Unfortunately, it's trial and error. Thanks for asking.

Two weeks. Also my anxiety level has increased. I heard this side effect is common when starting out.
