Depression, glutamate, Ketamine, Vitamin B [View all]

I heard a report this morning on NPR the use of Ketamine to relieve depression.

It sounds good, but I am very dubious about a drug that can so easily be abused. Apparently, the drug affects glutamate in the brain. I've had excellent results after adding Deplin (a form of Vitamin B) to my other drugs. Google glutamate and Vitamin B and you come up with some cross connections.

Just food for thought, so to speak!
