Has anyone tried ketamine for treatment-resistant depression?

I have treatment-resistant depression for decades. My doc wants to try ketamine on me nasal or iv infusion. Has anyone tried this or had a good or bad experience with it?
Please let me know.
Tried ECTs, TMS, and many old and new anti-depressant medications. Meds works for about a few months.

I haven't, but I'm also not sure your question is going to get answers that mean anything to you.  Ketamines are experimental at the present time, and like anything else, will probably prove to work for some and not for others, just like the other drugs you've been on.  So far the initial evidence shows quick improvement but not necessarily lasting benefit -- the jury is still out, far out, on this one.  I believe right now it's mostly being used, with some success, on severely depressed people.  So even if someone tells you it was great for them, they probably won't have been on it very long as it hasn't been used that way much yet, and it won't really tell you if it will work for you.  Best of luck.  You should research this -- it's a hot topic right now so a lot of info is out there.
