I finished my second ketamine infusion a couple of hours ago.
It was more intense this time, probably because I let myself relax and had really chill music in my earbuds. I had my eyes closed just about the whole time. I saw my thoughts floating by in a sea of color. It wasn't a hallucination though, just bearing witness to myself.
It took a while for the ketamine to wear off this time so I stayed in recovery longer. My head finally cleared by the time I got home. I'm still a little dizzy.
I have my third infusion next Tuesday, and my last one on Thursday.
I feel a little more positive than I did before, but maybe that's just me coming off the treatment. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
