Default Has anyone tried Ketamine therapy?

I'm looking into Ketamine therapy. I have an anxiety disorder and some other mental health issues, which supposedly can be treated by K. But I mainly just want to do Ketamine in a safe environment. I'm paranoid of getting it illegally and not being certain of the dosage or whether it's laced with something.

Has anyone tried a Ketamine infusion? I'd be interested to know what the experience was like.

My one experience with it was this year, but included a cocktail of other drugs that were administered during a surgery, so it I'm not really sure WTF I experienced.

I was offered it for nerve pain once, but my insurance didn't cover it so I did not do it.

I've done K and its cousin MXE a nice sprinkling of times without being under a doctor's care. I had a lot of pain then, and it seemed to alleviate that for a few days afterwards.

Not a helpful reply!

If your goal is simply to do ketamine and not to reduce your anxiety, this seems like a potentially expensive and invasive way to go about it. Will you be required to have therapy during/after? That sounds less than ideal, at least with my personality.

I dated someone who went through a round of ketamine treatment. It cost her about $400 a session over 8 sessions IIRC. She said it didn't make her feel less depressed or anxious, but she noticed a sharp decrease in suicidal ideations.

$400? wow. I saw some prices for clinics here in Seattle for around $89

definitely check that shit out before signing on obviously. the intrawebs seem to indicate anywhere between 4-12 hundred per infusion is normal

I heard it was like getting drunk at the circus. Maybe you could try that instead? An animal free circus, obviously

Yes I have. I think they said it works 60 or 70% of the time but unfortunately it did not for me. Did not cost me personally cuz my parents covered it but I’m sure it wasn’t cheap. The main thing I got out of it was getting to legally get stoned out of my mind a few times a week. I enjoyed that part most of the time, although sometimes it made me overthink about my issues and get sad. I do miss doing it though it was fun to just relax in a dark room, eat candy (they give you some because the nasal spray leaves a weird taste in yo your mouth) and listen to music for a few hours.

but yeah, sometimes being alone with your thoughts leads to bad thoughts
