Did 12 sessions, after the first session I had instant relief. Even the urge to drink was completely gone. I should have gone back in for boosters but just let it slide, mostly due to the continued cost. About 3 months later I was back into a depressive state. I was able to get out of that one on my own but I don't think it would have been possible without the ketamine treatments.
It is hands down the most effective medicine to treat depression I have taken. The maintenance is the downside, however the minimal side effects are worth it.

Are you saying he abandoned the therapy because of the short-term relief? Most people return to their depressed state when they stop taking their anti-depressants.
Unfortunately for him it was only short term relief, but it really did seem to work.
He’s doing well now, so maybe that short term relief helped in some way as part of everything else.
