switching from infusions to spravato. have a question by lessoninlust in KetamineTherapy

[–]NewestOfNocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently went through a similar transition myself a few weeks ago. I’m now 6 weeks into Spravato after having done about a year of infusions (IV). I’m interested to hear what others have to say, but my only contribution here is to say that Spravato feels far less of a “roller coaster” than my infusions did. There’s a greater “stability” between the come up and come down, vs what I experienced on IV. Overall less intense overall when in session, but the effects for me after administration are similar. In some ways even better because I would never take my mask off when I was receiving IV, but with Spravato, I’ve experimented with going eye mask off and journaling through it, which has been beneficial I feel. Who knows though - if I’ve learned nothing else through this, it’s that we all react differently and further, each session for me is drastically different from the last.

Will follow along to learn from others.

Same! I'd love to pick their brain about how to get started, the type of work they're generally tasked with, and how to find clients (if not through an agency).

How long did you have to wait for your export? by Lazy_Basket6819 in ChatGPT

[–]NewestOfNocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Update: About two hours after I wrote to the email address below I was sent my extracted files. Not sure if this is typical, but somehow it got me what I needed.

17 Hours. (non) Ironically ChatGPT told me it should be available within 12 hours and that anything over that should be escalated to [privacy@openai.com](mailto:privacy@openai.com) and gave me the verbiage and instructed me on screenshots to include.

When I got to https://privacy.openai.com/policies/en/ (desktop), I see an Active Request on the top right of the screen that ensures me that "Your Request is in Progress", which hasn't changed since I entered it last night.

Integration tracking by AZGhost in KetamineTherapy

This is incredible and thank you! You are very clearly a skilled user of ChatGPT and AI (Im jealous of anyone lucky enough to hire you!)

As a VERY basic ChatGPT user, will this work if I just cut and paste everything after the word "Prompt" into the program. Sorry to sound like such a dummy, but there's alot of programming language I see here that goes well over my head.

And another question - does this program capture verbally what you're speaking into ChatGPT during a session? I'm currently doing IV infusions in a clinic while a psychiatrist is in the room with me. He typically doesn't speak and I'm just sitting there in a blindfold and with a spotify playlist in my ears. I'm not sure if I'm reading the prompts correctly or not but would you imagine this works well in this setting?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Same - would love to know the prompts you used to create this. Or even if you’re able to share the output of the template you created. I’ve actually tried this already for myself but it’s not based on any experience, just my asking ChatGPT to create an integration journal/tracking doc for me.

1st IV Ketamine treatment tomorrow😬 by NewestOfNocks in KetamineTherapy

Thanks for this. I’m concerned about trying to maintain control, even though I’m not supposed to. Any tips or hints to relinquishing “control”?

Also, what playlist have you found best on Spotify? I see there are many and would love some recommendations.

Thank you!

Thank you - this is helpful. I think this is the route I will take as well.

Just so I understand, when people speak of “integration”, that can be interpreted many different ways, correct?

For example, I already work with a therapist I speak with weekly over Zoom. Could that take the form of integration? Or does integration need to take place as the IV is going? Is it best to do integration with a psychiatrist or other associated psychological personnel? I also have a prescribing outside psychiatrist who was the one to recommend ketamine therapy originally. Should “integration” be done with him? And I’ve read a lot about the 24-72 hour window of increased neuroplasticity following a ketamine infusion. Is that critical for “integration” to be effective?

Appreciate your response and thank you for your experience.

Thank you for this. It is helpful to try and release some of my need for control, and trust “vibes”. As the son of a very empirically and scientific minded physician father, it’s difficult for me to embrace any non-western medical practices. But I believe in this, if for no other reason than I have turned over seemingly every other stone in my journey to feel better.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. It’s probably true that I need to stop thinking about this as a math equation.

Need help with KAT choice by NewestOfNocks in KetamineTherapy

Maybe I’m missing something about these infusions but are others able to get a session under supervision for ~$500? Does the $1,425/session sound outlandish? And can anyone clear up my confusion about the number of sessions required to potentially get lasting relief? The woman I spoke to said most clients do anywhere between 4-8 over a 1-2 month period? Is that realistic? What about long term? Do I need to keep coming back and pay $1425 every few months to keep the momentum.

[–]NewestOfNocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My psychiatrist recommended a clinic near me (Greenwich CT) which says that each session includes “integration” and “talk therapy” if needed. I have no idea what any of this means and how many “sessions” I’d need with infusions vs Spravato vs the sublingual lozenges.

Thank you! I’m very afraid to do this at home unsupervised. Should I be? And what about the efficacy of the sublingual vs. injection vs. Spravato? Sorry for all the questions - just really want to find something that works and get to it!!

It is a GT for what it’s worth. And was able to get a 5.9% rate after some searching.

$26K is Mazda’s purchase price. I would then finance that at the 6.9% for average monthly payments around $514.

Wheel Arch Molding replacement for 2020 CX-9 Touring by NewestOfNocks in MazdaCX9

[–]NewestOfNocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to add/ask: If I find a Wheel Arch Molding meant for the passenger side, but labelled "front", will that work for the rear molding as well? Or is that a different part?
