Hi Bryn,
I agree with alchemy that stopping ketamine, ditching Lexapro, and starting Nardil isn't all that huge a change. I guess you could wait a little while after stopping ketamine, but it sounds like you are in a bad place and waiting an extra few weeks with a SSRI wash-out on top of that starts to make it a long time.
Good luck with the Nardil. I see reports of success with it on this board, and it's a new avenue for you in terms of type of drug.
You mention unstable moods. Up and down? Cyclic? I can't recall your diagnosis - are you bipolar?
I also can't recall if you've tried Lamictal. In combination with Abilify, I've found it pretty effective for depression. Lamictal might be combined with an anti-depressant as well. Have you tried anything else in the mood stabilizer category?
I agree you shouldn't even think med-free for now. Get well and then give you brain time to heal before you revisit that question.
Good luck.
