I've personally seen benefits from at-home lozenges. The only (very thin) study for postpartum is with IV, so I only want to speak to that with regards to this specific diagnosis. Last fall, Mindbloom shared with me the possibility of adding a pathway for postpartum support, but I don't see that it has been implemented. I guess that the liability is too significant?

Makes sense. And perceived liability with infants is huge. I’d probably keep it “off label” too if I were them.

Our math is 25% of oral dose is equivalent to the IV dose. Ie, 100mg oral = 25mg IV.

The lozenges are much more prevalent and accessible IMO.

Instead of the clinic (and $3,600), have tried or seen the impact of 200-400mg lozenge at home?

Affordable in cost and time commitment. Telehealth is setup for this already too 👍🏻

Hey James - I cannot recall if I replied that the science focuses on IV and IM treatment, but busy moms need an at-home solution, so we should investigate (RESEARCH!) this. I’ve had much success as a person who’s only tried ketamine through at-home lozenge treatment.
