Ketamine. I cried Uncle!!!

Horrific, nightmarish, dreadful. Those are the words that describe my ketamine experience yesterday. Awful, horrible, ghastly also apply. I literally screamed at the top of my lungs. Mega panic attacks, feelings of doom and impending death, THAT! To treat anxiety? Where’s the sense in that? No more ketamine for me ever again. I don’t want to chop off my head to try to treat a headache. I’m thoroughly disappointed and upset that this treatment that I undertook with so much hope turned out to be so destructive and such an utter failure.

I do believe they gave me a much larger dose than I was to have. Hopefully by mistake.

I don’t know if after such a horrific experience if there can be improvement. I’ll keep everyone posted. unfortunately, hope springs eternal.

Right now, very dismayed and actually traumatized by this insane ketamine experience. Very disappointed.

        There seems to be some literature support for adding ketamine infusion therapy to a reasonably stabilized lithium user as a way to add some antidepressant therapeutic effect. Kindly, Michael – Bipolar 1 for over 40 years

        I am stabilized with lithium. I was hoping ketamine would help me with my awful anxiety. At this point, even if it does help, I don’t think I will be able to do it again because of the experience I had yesterday. Just cannot.

        Sure seems like the dose of ketamine was too high. I would certainly not want to repeat that experience. So sorry that happened! Do you do yoga or any other exercise, meditation to help with your anxiety??

    Oh my God. I am SOOOOOOOOO freakin’ horrified about your going through this. I hope you are feeling a little better now, but that was hugely traumatic. My dear one. You don’t need this crap! The Datura flower is a fitting image, honey. Please keep us posted. I’m thinking of you with all my heart.

    Wondering about medical keto for you…No pressure – I just want to put it out there! Here’s a link of Dr. Georgia Ede’s ketogenic practitioners, ranging from psychiatrists to therapists to coaches, below in case you feel like checking it out. I’d ask them all for a sliding scale!

      Hi Dyane, thank you so much my lovely friend I very much appreciate your concern and care! I did start feeling OK and better the next day so I’m happy for that. But it was probably the worst experience that I personally have ever had. And also we’re in the middle of moving out of Louisville Kentucky to a fairytale place called Nantucket, Massachusetts. it’s just a lot of upheaval and a very emotional time and of course, maybe I shouldn’t have gone to get ketamine at this time. Anyway, it’s all done, and I probably will not be getting any more ketamine. Unfortunately, I do feel like it had some sort of antianxiety effect on me, but the experience itself is just too hellish. Love you very much,, my friend, and I appreciate your care and love for me, and I reciprocate that as well and I’m so happy that you’re doing well and I will think about doing keto. Once we’ve moved and things have settled down. Love you and my best to your daughters and you and your husband and I will keep in touch. ❤️🩷🩵💜🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼🪻🪷🩵💜🩷💖❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
