Is ketamine or TMS safe?

Unread post by thatonegirlstitch »

I read that ketamine can cause serotonin syndrome and TMS increases serotonin production If that is the case wouldn't make PSSD, Anhedonia, or emotional blunting worse? If not then why? How is it safe to use?

I’d also be curious to hear people’s thoughts on this!

Anything serotonergic can cause serotonin syndrome. Just like depression isn't necessarily caused by low serotonin, its broad to say that any increase in serotonin will cause further PSSD symptoms. I did ketamine treatment and had no issues.

@sovietxrobot, did the ketamine treatment work for you?

Maybe some minor improvements in depressive symptoms, but no effect on PSSD.

I had two ketamine treatments in the local hospital. Both were horrible experiences but I dont think they had any influence on my PSSD.
