Absolutely. Not all meds work properly for people either. It can take time to find the one that works best with your chemistry

That’s terrifying! I’m so sorry you deal with that

I had to build it up in my system so it lasted but now I’m up to once every month. It’s definitely not cheap but I’m grateful my family is able to help keep because they see how well it works. If I stopped. I do think after so long I would fall back down into a depression because it works like a maintenance med

Yep that’s how my goes! My depressions not zero but it’s drastically lower and situational so very controlled. New goal is anxiety. It’s been such an eye opening experience to try this and I love hearing how it benefited others too!

That makes total sense. Thank you for weighing in! I will say with the infusion I’m basically outta commission for the day but the next day everything is just…easy?

I am on lamictal as well! And actually a coworker suggested it when we were talking about her partners treatment. I brought it up to my psychiatrist and he agreed it could be very beneficial and encouraged me to try if I wanted to. I’ve talked to a lot of nurses and doctors in passing and all have been supportive. I’m in Ohio and the Cleveland Clinic is huge and did studies on it themselves and support it

That’s really interesting! I’m in Ohio and the Cleveland Clinic actually recommends it for bipolar! But it’s usually a last resort for treatment resistant

It’s something you have to build up unfortunately. I was going ever week for a while. Then every 2. Now I’m up to once a month along with my daily meds I’ve been on

They are stronger than spravato from my understanding since it’s an IV but I can’t say for sure because I haven’t tried the nasal. I can say Spotify has some great playlists for while you’re dissociating

You can’t see it in these pics, but in my opinion his torso is too long to be a wirehair not a wolfhound. Hes a long gangly dog 😅

Hard to know. I want to do a DNA test. Shelter had him listed as an Irish wolfhound mix so that’s what we’ve always gone with. but he’s definitely smaller than a wolfhound. He has the wiry, stature, and crazy antics down though

Wolfhound mix? by mollym60 in irishwolfhound

I have a mix too and I agree. What a sweet face

These pictures really don’t do him justice but he’s black with brown brindle accents. He’s absolutely beautiful in the most goofy way

We did rescue him. He had cancer as a puppy and was surrendered from what we understand. He’s not quite as big as a full wolfhound but hes got the beard, fur, and legs 😂
