I am bi-polar. I am fearful of a medication like this because of its potential for abuse...the reason for a nasal spray is so the meds get absorbed fast into the blood stream. most anti depression medication is done over weeks getting the medicative levels to avoid addiction and abuse. Some of the worst abusers of medication are mentally ill people. My concern is that within three to five years we find out that those prescribed the medication have started taking more and more of the meds to feel better, not realizing that they are chasing a buzz, not the relief from depression they originally started on the meds for.

Anything that is fast acting and used to treat depression has the potential to go out of control. the faster it works the more likely it will lead to adiction...This is just my nonmedical practitioner opinion

Ketamine is not really a high
