And I ain’t talking breakfast cereal Special K, either.
Scientists aren’t horsing around when they claim the notorious horse drug and human drug of abuse ketamine can help depression.
It doesn’t work on levels of neutransmitters like norepinephrine, serotonin or dopamine, either. Instead, in some other way, it’s supposed to “reshape” the orbifrontal cortex of the brain, an area where dread and shame can arise.
AND, it starts to work in just 24 hours, far earlier than the month or so Prozac and other SSRIs can take.
Plus, in what is surely a disappointment for Big Pharma, ketamine is already generic. No high-priced gouging by the Eli Lillys of the world.
