New pharm company pushing for Ketamine RX's for psych conditions

Saw this in a comment on this big Pharm company who is pushing this AIDS drug price up from 13 to $750 a pill on the front page thought it was interesting and that you guys might want to see it.

This is great news with the current research going on for Ketamine for PTSD/Anxiety/Depression IMO too. More K for all!

Ketamine: Ketamine was first synthesized in 1962 and the IV formulation is approved only for anesthesia. Ketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist. Turing plans to undertake a development program for a variety of serious psychiatric indications for patients who currently have limited or no therapeutic options.

EDIT - looks like it's for Suicidal Ideation IM shots so just tell your shrink you wanna kill yourself know what I'm saying get that cheap Obama care K the drought is over hell yeah America

Funny story about K. I had minor surgery yesterday in which they had to knock me. The nurse started listing the couple of anesthetics they were going to use and mentioned K. Because I often have no filter, I immediately said "mmmmm, Ketamine." She's like "oh, I see you know ketamine, you party boy."

Thank god for medical confidentiality. And for nurses who are cool and just laugh at my ridiculousness instead of being judgy.

There are a couple drug rehabs where ketamine assisted therapy is used. Its been a thing for a few years and I hope it continues. As far as im concerned its almost right up there with ibogaine treatment.

Last night I had a dream where my doc prescribed me vials of ket. I was really excited and thinking "omg I didn't think they did that" before being violently torn from the dream. That's all I remember about it.

They were prescribing it for pain trials in Australia years ago, unsure if they still do.

A chap posted on bluelight about his script, he also posted photos of the doses.

They were gel tabs, kind of like windowpane acid.
