We are grateful for every patient who has trusted us with their care and shared their experience with others.
“I stopped into Forward Ketamine after first noticing the clinic in early 2023. After talking with Brian, I was intrigued but not convinced that ketamine therapy was for me. When I got home, I struggled to find good online resources about ketamine therapy. After finding some Reddit threads that seemed promising — and talking with Brian more — I decided to try ketamine therapy.
At the time, I had been taking an SSRI for depression and anxiety for eight years. I was also drinking problematically and smoking weed daily in an effort to self medicate. I noticed an uptick in mood after one infusion. After the fourth infusion, I surprised myself by turning down requests to go drinking.
In the weeks after treatment, I started to feel much better overall. My friends and family noticed positive differences in my mood, but what surprised me the most is that casual connections noticed the changes, too.
Six months after the first infusion, I still feel much better. Under the guidance of my doctor, I have stopped taking my antidepressants. I’ve been able to cut back my weed smoking and drinking to truly recreational usage.”
“We wanted to share this story as a token of our deep gratitude for your hard work in bringing Forward Ketamine into reality.
Yesterday during our dinner conversation, I shared with the family my insufficient but sincere summary of research related to awe. Then, I asked for us to share a time when we experienced awe and our daughter immediately responded with her ketamine experience.
She then went on to share, unprompted, that she is moving differently through the world as a result. Specifically, she shared a story about feeling angry, but absent were her recent and constantly-connected feelings of wanting to kill herself.
I am not lying when I say you saved her life. And, by extension, trauma to the rest of our family. Seriously, we owe you a debt that we’ll never be able to repay. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
