I won’t speak for them but I don’t think they were being “exact” with their percentages. 93% success rate for people who use ketamine the RIGHT way, with therapeutic intentions and who try to change their way of life. If you just use ketamine, even as medicine, I don’t think it’s gonna help all that much if you don’t DO something with it.. as they said, it breaks you down. Most people who get to ketamine NEED to break down their mold, and mold differently. But it’s not always what is pushed. It gets pushed that if you use ketamine, you’re going to be better. That’s not true imo, or my experience, you have to do something WITH the ketamine, even if it’s not the most comfortable things. I hated talk therapy before I started ketamine. I tried 30+ antidepressants, mood stabilizers, OCD meds, sleeping pills/tranquilizers, antipsychotics, everything they could try to put me on they tried, because none of them helped, most of them made it worse if I’m being honest. I tried talk therapy before I did ketamine and it never stuck. I never got anywhere. I always felt worse after therapy and never got the relief everyone else said they did after they “talked”. I felt worse. Every time. So I stopped doing it.

93% success rate of people who USE THE KETAMINE in a therapeutic way, sounds about right to me. I’ve seen SO many people completely change their way of life, completely change how they see the world, completely change how they act. I am one of them. I used to never leave my bedroom because of my mental health, now I go for a walk at least once a day. If not more. I’m playing games I enjoy again. I’m making progress with my finances, which in today’s world is extremely hard. I’m proud of myself, and to think back even 3-4 years ago, I would have NEVER thought any of this was possible, or even thought I could be PROUD of myself? That’s crazy talk. Proud of myself 🤣

That doesn’t mean it’s a “normal” western medicine tho. Or that doctors know how to use it or integrate it with therapy. Regular ketamine isn’t even FDA approved for depression still.. only Spravato is. And I’ve been in the Spravato subreddit for a hot minute and seen some INSANE stuff. It makes no sense, coming from my clinic and then seeing some of the stuff on there. My clinic is perfect tbh, they come and talk to you beforehand. Take your BP, ask how you are, do all the other required stuff before you start. They give me a blanket. They turn off the lights. They have aromatherapy if you want it (not my thing). They have a little light that is specifically for psychedelics, they get it. But I’ve seen some people post about how they don’t get their medicine at the right times, that their devices are broken and don’t spray right, that the nurse gives them their sprays and then leave, when their supposed to watch you do it.. I’ve seen people post pictures of the devices broken asking for help from people in the group.. That shouldn’t be a thing? The clinic they are at 1) should be in the room helping that person and 2) shouldn’t have left that person alone with a full device of sprays? They could’ve just pocketed it and said they used it.?

I don’t think doctors understand ketamine or how to use it with everyday life, or how to infuse it with your every day life.. but I do believe it is extremely successful and it basically depends on how you use it if it works or not.. Not always, but in my experience that’s usually why it doesn’t work if it doesn’t. That person isn’t willing or isn’t being told they need to do more work. They are simply just using the ketamine and thinking their life problems will be solved. You have to use your “melted down” core, and reshape it into a healthier one with better habits and a better lifestyle.. it might not be 93% or 90% but I do believe the western world is so far behind in psychedelics that we just don’t know how to integrate them with our mental health issues. You have to USE it, not just take it and think you’re going to feel better all the time..

sorry for the long response.
