Well I had my third ketamine infusion this morning. The other patients were the same as before and they too had their doses increased.

The infusion was more intense. More colors and thoughts floating by. I had the sensation that I was both in and out of my body at the same time. There wasn't any anxiety as my body went numb and I was able to move if I put in the effort.

It took a while to come out of it at the end. They asked me where I was, the year, things like that. I had a little difficulty answering initially but it became easier as the ketamine wore off.

I have one more treatment left on Thursday.

I think I feel a touch more positive but I'm not sure just yet. I'll keep thinking positive thoughts.
