Before I started any trearment, my pain doctor had me discuss the usage of Ketamine with my psych doctor before my very first treatment.The face of my psych doctor lit up noticably when I ran the idea past her. She was very keen to the usage of Ketamine for pain and depression.I told her that I had used Ketamine once before 20 years prior, recreationally. I explained the effect that it still had on me. She was cool with it.The very first Ketamine Infusion I simply was knocked out, with one memory of waking up with blurry vision feeling like I was on aof a heavy dose of Soma. I was detached and also recall the nurse helping me piss.That was treatment number 1.Where I am treated, the treatment goes like this:You get in the hospital bed and they set up an I.V. The doctor or medical intern (they are the best) first Inject, 2 mg’s Midazolam (in my case) to calm you down and I suppose dial down the side effect of feeling it and getting scared. They proceed to explain what’s going on and give you a shot to set get you started. I may have misheard, but I believe on one occasion I was told I was getting 80 mg’ s to start.From what I understand after that, they monitor your vital signs.I have aksed them if I was moved during the treatment. They say no. I haven’t had a bad time ever and I am going on my 7th or 8th treatment in less th n a week.I always have a great time.When you train yourself how to be lucid, it gets better. You are able to sort through the mental stuff much more efficiently.
