   @thomasfuchs Given Musk's behavior and tweets, it's hardly a good advertisement for ketamine.

     @thomasfuchs I want to know more about this. When I was on Spravato and saw you talking about infusions, I was skeptical because it was different from what my doc prescribed, and for a while, I think the effects were lasting beyond treatment, but 1.5 years after treatment, I’m not sure. They did say I could come in for follow-up treatment, as needed, but getting the practice to return my calls has been frustrating.

     arguably a way glib to put it; however, it does get at a problem with this type of treatment. What I've read is that psychedelics as treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, et al, is currently believed to work by increasing neuroplasticity.

     What do you then *do* with that?

     If you just take the drug & live your normal life, you should expect any beneficial results to be impermanent. Or if you continue to do bad shit, expect new, undesirable patterns to be enforced.
