I recently came across a paper on Pubmed suggesting the use of memantine immediately after ketamine to promote a continued antidepressant effect. I don't know the results of the investigation as no abstract had been submitted:
1: Aust N Z J Psychiatry. 2008 Feb;42(2):170.Ketamine followed by memantine for the treatment of major depression.
- Scott> just took about 100mg orally (solution in water). visual field was distorted a bit (shaking), felt "something" but also felt the depression lift for about 30 minutes. it wasn't a "high" or a disassociative experience by any means, and it didn't last, but i'll try again at a higher dose and at a different method of ingestion.

> the research studies that used IV ketamine said that the effects from a single dose lasted days...thats my target. what an ideal situation if i could just ingest some ketamine once a week, be high for an hour, but have the mood effects last the whole week? i can dream....
