For Depression "Did 6 IV ketamine infusions over the course of 3 weeks. The treatment itself was not unpleasant, only a small groggy feeling that lasted a few hours after. However, no changes in depression symptoms during or after the treatment."

For Depression "I have been using ketamine sublingual troches, at-home treatments for a few months now, and have seen really positive results with minimal side effects once the treatment time is over. I am on 200 mg and currently am prescribed to take it every 3 days due to anxiety, but know it’s weekly for depression. My depressed mood was immediately noticeably better with treatment, and my anxiety has been improving over time. I take mine with Zofran because I’m prone to nausea, and this form of ketamine can often cause nausea, and I’ve thus not had issues getting sick to my stomach. During treatment, I feel very sedated, and afterwards cannot go back to normal functioning until several hours later. Ketamine has reduced my appetite, and I subsequently have been slowly losing weight. It’s easy to take in sublingual form."

For Anesthesia "Just had the same experience that many have reported here. I was expecting the same effect when having an endoscopy and drifting off to sleep under Propofol. Instead, I got drowsy, then the bright lights and kaleidoscope effect took place. I was moaning, but not sure if anyone could hear me. I heard all sorts of sounds but could not focus on anything. I felt like this was it, and I was going to die and separate from my physical body. Worst ever experience."
