Anyone in the UK tried Ketamine (legally) for depression?

I've had long term treatment resistant depression. Tried so many things so running out of options.

I'm very keen to try ketamine which is now available at a limited number of places privately in the UK. I think there is an NHS trial too in Oxford.

I know it's expensive.

Any experiences or recommendations of places in London or East of England to try ketamine?

No but I’m interested in this since I heard about the new clinics opening. I’m fortunate not to have depression but do get very anxious. I’ve heard psilocybin is better for that.

I don't think psilocybin is available yet in the UK (except possibly if you are part of a trial??). I think there are legal retreats in the Netherlands where you can try psilocybin.

No, just checked and it doesn’t look like it is. I think it’s hoped it will be. clinics.awaknlifesciences.com/faq This is the one I read about. Bristol based but private and I think it costs thousands. I’m sorry I don’t have a recommendation and that you’ve been struggling with depression for so long.
