Ketamine has some effects that make it fairly unsuitable as a therapy in the community but it does hold out hope that other NMDA antagonists will be added to the antidepressant armoury. | |

Apart from provably and observably working, one has to consider that most antidepressants have some quite serious and uncomfortable counter-effects. That's the major reason (besides having little or no effect on "normal" people) that there is zero abuse potential in them. No healthy person would take them. Yet, people with depressions do take them. Why would they? Because the drugs help them, and they help much more than the adverse effects impact them. | |
