Megan Hawkins, now 29, remembers being invited to celebrate a friend’s birthday at the packed nightclub. Rapper Chris Brown was on stage and producer Suge Knight was in the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd.
Despite the injury, Hawkins recovered quickly and seemed to be doing fine mentally. Then a month later, she was invited to share her story on the show “The Doctors.” Producers of the show had put together an animated video of the bullet entering Megan’s back and just narrowly missing her spine and vital organs.
“Like I genuinely really don't remember very much from that entire period of my life just because I was so drugged out on so many different things,” said Megan.It’s a psychedelic treatment for depression usually only prescribed when other therapies have failed. Ketamine was originally intended for use as an anesthetic and became abused on the streets known as “Special K.”
Dr. Weissman says the only FDA-approved form of Ketamine for depression is the nasal spray. He says the lozenge form doesn’t have adequate research and is not for everyone. “Ketamine can be a drug of abuse so individuals could be getting prescribed this mail-in Ketamine and they could use it for whatever they want, they could sell it on the street,” said Weissman.
