Produced some absolutely bizarre visuals. Really weird. Can't describe them. Like one bit was school girls in joker makeup running thru a subway stabbing people and giggling. Some of it was ****ed up. Weird **** for sure.

Why couldn't it be something fun like school girls in joker makeup dismembering Benito Cheeto?

Dude that is weird **** on ketamine. ****ing don't like it. I'm tripping posting. I feel so ****ed up. I really don't like it. I'm not a good one for psychedelics. This ****ing sucks. It's miserable.

Ketamine isn't a proper psychedelic drug it's a dissociative drug, it's the same family by different. Ive accidentally had ketamine once and I didn't particularly enjoy it, gave me a splitting headache for about 6 hours. I didn't get the out of body out of mind feeling your supposed to.

It's interesting as a pain killer both my parents were given it and both found it effective, however both also lost lucidity and my dad actually had nightmares from it.

One of my favourite doctors used to use it all the time as a chemical restraint, dude would put on some elvis, draw up a great big syringe full of ketamine and we'd stick the ****ers with it. Good times.

I need to move this to the pet peeves thread because I am decidedly NOT liking ketamine. Maybe it's the dose but I can't stand being so groggy. It takes 3 hours after my treatment for my brain to clear up and during that time it's that miserable between sleep and awake ****. I hate it. And then I can't sleep for real, so I've gotten maybe 2 hours of sleep per night since I started it. Hate it. I'm giving it a chance for my pain management but God I HATE how it makes me feel. A 4 hour infusion is just too ****ing long. I get the concept so I'm going to work through it hoping it helps but so far, no ****ing bueno.

That's sucks dude. Why aren't you sleeping? And I'd the treatment at least working on the pain management side of things?

I finished my first cycle, 4 days this week. At the end of the 3rd and 4th treatment, so yesterday and today, I felt negligible to no pain.. Yesterday the effect lasted for about a half hour then the pain returned and by maybe 2-3 hours later i was back to the subjective 6 on the pain scale that tends to be my baseline. Tonight the effect lasted for maybe an hour before the perception of the pain returned and now, close to 4 hours later, I'm sitting at about a 4 even despite the fact that the chairs they have for us are hell on my neck and back and head. So that's encouraging. But it is disrupting my sleep pretty severely and that is a side effect in a very small percentage of the population.. So when I resume my next phase next Monday they will give me something extra to try to counteract that part. But if it's still a problem they will cancel the rest of that cycle and just monitor and see if I got enough intervention from what I've had so far. Worked my way up to 175mg today. Not sure what the normal dosing is but that seems somewhat high.

Finished one more dosing cycle on Monday this week, and it floored me. I am done with the infusion now, we decided to discontinue as I was not tolerating it very well. Monday was sheer hell, the worst day I have had with something like this since I had chemo treatments 25 years ago, so it was pretty bad. I was out of it for a full 24 hours and I am not going back in for dose increases, now we monitor and see if I received enough to affect my pain perceptions. So far it does seem to have had an effect as my pain the past 2 days has bee reduced marginally, like from a steady 6 to maybe a 4/4.5 or something. Still not certain if it is just a kind of placebo effect, like I got medication so it should feel better so it does, for now. We will see. But man that treatment Monday was bad bad bad. I still feel something residually today, just run down and tired and kind of vaguely fuzzy-headed. Hope it clears up soon. I am worried way back in the back of my brain that this brain fog will last longer or be permanent. I read there is an outside chance of that happening, as it happens in like a very tiny percentage of the people who receive this treatment. Hope that isn't me.
