Has anyone tried ketamine therapy for anxiety disorders and/or suicidal ideation? Have they had any luck with it?

Hi

I have taken Ketamine before and did not have a good experience on it and I’ve not heard it used in a therapy situation.

Ketamine therapy is being used more and more for anxiety disorders now at very low, therapeutic doses. It’s been known to help with suicidal ideation as well.

More evidence base is it being trialled for depression. HT
