Hey, thanks! It does make sense that a benzodiazepine user would greatly benefit from ketamine, and I actually didn't realize the strong GABA agonism of ketamine until doing some serious research a few months ago. I wanted to undertake ketamine therapy. Yes, it is available in Canada, and at low cost for low income people like me, thankfully. We do have both the infusions and spray, and like methadone therapy, it is strictly managed. I am still trying to find cheap sources on the side, and my doctors are all uptight people..lol

I am very glad this is *working* for you!!! Do you take any meds with this? Any other types of therapy, or psychedelics?

Thanks,
Jay
