I started ketamine treatment a week ago. I think I had ketamine with no frills. I was ill prepared as the whole process was prepackaged for me , no discussion about what happens during this process . 5 straight days in a row. 2 hrs of infusion, drip drip drip. I had to HIRE a caregiver to sit with me for 2 hrs. They run so many people thru this thing that they are understaffed , so if the caregiver notices anything they notify a nurse.

Unfortunately, my SO did not want to be my caretaker because 1. I didn't want her to put off bad vibes in the room.
2. She doesn't understand anything about it and really doesn't give a 💩 about me. So now I have to find a therapist that understands ketamine and will listen to me.

I'm gonna make this short and continue later on the other points regarding my infusion.
TRD vs. Ketamine. TRD wins round one.

Please PM me if you want a private discussion about mine ( or your ) experience with ketamine.

Best to all......

As a follow up , I went in for a " booster " shot of ketamine. 2 weeks after the initial 5 infusions in 5 days. I think that unless you couple this with " ketamine treatment therapy " you'll lose out. You need someone to talk to that understands what ketamine is all about. I had a bad trip and wanted to stop the infusion before it was done. The infusion is 2 hours. I felt neglected and started to have a panic attack. I was supposed to do 2 days in a row but cancelled the 2nd session. I really believed that this stuff would help create new neural pathways that I so desperately need. One last caveat. My living situation is love free. I'm hoping to gain the courage to get the hell out of this situation. I'm desperate for someone to talk to. Please PM me if you'd like to talk about anything. Best to all of you guys out there...........
