Question : I've dealt with depression for years, with some help from paxil. I've tried replacement, and in addition to paxil with limited success. I learned about ketamine about a year and a half ago, but don't know who to talk to, or a doctor who can help. Desperate !!!
Brief Answer:
Kindly consult with psychiatrist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. As per your history, as you get limited success with tab. praxil. Ketamine is generally used in other treatment failure cases or severe illness. So kindly consult with your psychiatrist. After proper detailed examination and history, he may take decision. Kindly follow up if you have any query.
