Ketamine-induced Psychotic Episode: Anyone Else?

@Blackolives8 it definitely felt like that however i still feel very very very mentally fragile. this was back in like sept-october and i can be triggered back into it pretty easily and it turns into a massive panic episode which i haven’t dealt with to this extent in years

@cleom I’m not sure about the sedative part… I only have my experience and medical knowledge to go off of, but ketamine is traditionally used as an anesthetic, it blocks NMDA receptors. With my experience there was no mention of or administration of sedative, as at the dose they give it, it can make you a bit sleepy. I was told there was a very small chance I may hallucinate, but that hasn’t happened. The only additional medication I’ve received is Zofran because after one infusion I was nauseous. I know it can be administered different ways, so maybe sedatives are given then, but with my knowledge I don’t think sedatives are typically used in conjunction with ketamine treatments. Ativan can actually interfere with the treatments.
