Jan. 4, 2023  – In 2016, before most people had heard about ketamine for depression, her therapist recommended a clinic near where she lived in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

“I said, ‘Yes, when and where?’” she said. “I was so desperate to feel better. I thought trying something is better than not trying anything at all and end up taking my own life.”

Ebberts said each 45-minute infusion felt like a dream, in which she saw vibrant colors and shapes. After she underwent three treatments in one week, she said, something started to shift. 

“I started to feel like I could get up out of bed,” she said. “That deep dark depressive cloud started to lift.”

In combination with her antidepressants, she has continued the ketamine treatments and now gets one every five weeks.
