This makes me nervous. Ketamine has major issues with bladder damage when taken repetitively. Possibly with a low enough dosage this would be manageable, but speaking from experience from watching people that have been on the wrong end of the stick with this one. it can do some really serious long term damage in that department.

Google suggests you can buy it as a research chemical (here have this random white power...).
Not sure about above, but I used to (~1yr ago) buy NSI-189 from THT.CO and other sources compiled/tested by the reddit r/nootropics community. Apparently since then, Neuralstem has sent cease & desist letters to all of the companies selling it, and sources have since been spotty. Also I know that some group buys/syntheses have been coordinated on Longecity.
I'm excited for there to be alternatives to SSRIs. I've never been diagnosed with depression, but my partner has and takes an SSRI. It certainly seemed to have a generally positive affect (totally subjectively), and relatively few negative side affects. That being said, having to take it every day sucks, and when she runs out, having forgotten to get it refilled, the mood affects are pretty terrible for us both. Hope…

What with the pro-drug posts here all the time. I'm guessing that most of the HN audience is American. Is it common among techies in the U.S. to experiment with psychoactive drugs, hence the interest and knowledge? Please, do not mention Steve Jobs acid experiences.

Having observed my girlfriend's "mental illness" [1], I can say, with confidence, that Psychiatry is the problem with America's approach to mental health. As Dr. McHugh observes [2], conventional Psychiatrists "diagnose" their patients' symptoms, and treat the diagnosis without much concern about the actual causes thereof. One of my girlfriend's problems is that she has low energy levels - certainly caused by previou…
And most especially, thank you for pointing out that amazing documentary on Erickson! I've read the NLP foundation's first two books on him and they're incredible. I just picked up a copy of the DVD.
BTW, have you tried any NLP of the therapy variety with your gf? How surprised would you be to find it working as well as you can imagine? ;)

The FBI has a problem hiring good security experts because of their strict drug testing policies.
