Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It is true that ketamine in subanesthetic doses ( mainly as nasal spray ) is studied as an alternative for refractory migraine and depression.
However it is evaluated as a possibility only in cases that other treatment possibilities failed to improve the patient's condition.
You should discuss with your Neurologist first about the indications.
One clinic near you is:
