Just had 0.25g while listening to meditation forest sound music, in semi dark room. Best 1 hour of my life. Tears was running from my eyes, once I became human again. It was beautiful. Insanely psychedelic experience.
I have a outer body experience when I was robbed and beaten. Oddly calm ? Accepted death, how strange that felt. Peace when being beaten to death. Hmmmm
I've been getting ketamine treatments for depression and chronic pain; my experiences have always been the 4th type. Time and physical space fold up, compress, unfold again into new spaces years apart. Eventually I'll fold up as well and become part of this fractal experience that's going on forever and ever. Each moment freezes in place and gets impossibly stretched, collapses into itself, rearranges into a new thing that will in turn fold up, mutate... and I do the same thing. ....but also my doctor turned into a purple rectangle and I became my own mouth, so. -shrug-
I received ketamine for a broken and dislocated ankle in the ambulance that transported me to the ER, I experienced the most beautiful death experience. My spirit left my body and went to heaven where I saw God and saved souls, this happened 17 months ago and this experience is still fresh in my mind
I had the last one. It was so incredible. It wasn’t meant to be a dose that would cause this. I felt that I was a part of everything, as well as a feeling of an inner understanding of this. I remember almost laughing at the simplicity of being. (unfortunately, I forgot a lot of it as time passed.) I have dealt with severe depression for my entire life. The hardest part is always being so trapped inside a mind that wouldn’t quiet. This experience was the first time that I wasn’t thinking of anything with the exception of little things, like, “is it starting? ...am I still here... is this really happening? That’s when I felt like laughing, because it was my habitual thought patterns trying to interfere and couldn’t, it wasn’t needed anymore.” I knew I was much more than just what my brain normally allowed me to be. Amazing experience.
During second session, when first starting ketamine I woke up crying uncontrollably... I have no idea why, nurse asked did you have a bad dream, I said I don’t know, I don’t recall.. I don’t remember seeing hearing anything just woke up crying.. then next thing I know she was you’ll be on relax, I was out.. I do 6 hrs treatments in a minor er every 2 weeks..
Wow. That is the same experience I had with the Ketamine. The feeling of complete understanding of everything that went on just was so wondrous. I did laugh though, great belly laughs! As I was coming out of it people looked soooo funny. And I felt like Gumby. The last place I went was a place where I could observe my thoughts. It was like a stream of water or a ticker-tape with all the beliefs and likes and dislikes that I had in life. Full of opinions that I had about life. It was funny to watch and I saw how silly and useless they were. The reduction of pain and depression was phenomenal! This was during my 5th infusion. I can't wait to see what the long-term effects are.
I had a mixture of the third and fourth one. It was a very life changing experience. I felt that all concept of time and body was gone and the life I was living was millions of years ago. It physically felt like extreme pulling and flowing through different universes and realms. I had thought I was dead and had crossed over to a new life and this experience was how I would live for eternity. I was also viewing the colors of the object I looked at before closing my eyes and falling into the experience. It was like I was feeling a reflection of my existence and heard my name being called from all directions. I feel like what is going on and being said outside of you reflects what is happening in your mind.
I had a similar experience last night. It was like my consciousness had hoped over to a new identical reality and the old me was dead, this is how i live now. It was like i could see see what makes up ‘reality’. I would think of a simple everyday thing and be able to see the infinite complexities that make it possible for that thing to happen. Hard to explain, crazy stuff
She has possibly moved on but that was interesting. After two sessions I still don’t know what to make of it. Physically, I began to breathe deeply and my arms, stretched out in front of me, felt like they belonged to someone else. I do not like needles so there’s that. I did develop an urge to pee late into the second time but I have a history of prostate trouble.
Ketamine was the beginning of my spiritual journey, it took me to the infinite within my consciousness and made me realize that we're not humans but fragments of consciousness within Gods mind, it was worth fracturing my wrist at 15, God bless everyone
@@bryanmartinez2599 sure bro,,,I didn't imagine something that connect people to the spiritual world exist,,,I believed in God than ever,,,I hate it when someone thinks he knows alot and he has not discovered keta
I had a feeling that my body was shutting down and i was dying, i cried out in help as i felt my body was shutting down, and then i was completely in a different dimension, no anxiety, no pain. and i talked to "beings" that were loving and understanding, when i came back, i thought i had been gone for like 12 hours, but ive been in a sleepstate for about 1hour, and afterwards i felt very happy and calm. It can be a very scary experience, but its really worth it. And like everyone says, try to go with the flow.
Thank you for providing this treatment. I have received ketamine infusions for 4 years. Depression is completely gone. I get the mystical out of body experience and I enjoy it very much.
THANK YOU!!! I was never told anything about these types of experiences on the medication. The doctor never mentioned it. No one did. I have had the fourth one for all six treatments. I have reached the fourth state you mention through meditation. I couldn't understand why I was having these very rare meditation experiences during treatments. I thought I was weird. It was scary. Not sure why doctors are not telling patients they will have experiences like this.
I had total hip replacement surgery two weeks ago. Positive history for depression / anxiety for decades. After surgery I went into shock. I was up and yelling and feeling agitated and out of control. But a bigger part of me was an observer, I was about 3 feet over my body and I heard my own voice tell me very clearly. “ You will never suffer a depth of depression again. “ Now I am of course curious as to what that consciousness was and the experience was so profound. I know I am fundamentally altered, grateful.
Veteran,,It has been a life saver for me. I've had several peaceful spiritual types of experiences, and I'm not religious . I would also add that the types of experiences one might have may be very similar to a strong dose edible. The mind set and enviorment is everything.
I saw myself leaving our galaxy and universe. It made me sad because I was leaving my wife and children behind. Very weirdly upsetting....it made me love my children more.
@@catfish5272 YES.. 2 weeks later I quit my oppressive job. And months later was offered a MUCH better one. ! My life has been 1000% better ever since.. In fact, for the first time in my life I'm actually living. I could say Ketamine gave me the balls to leap off the cliff into the unknown... and it worked out
@@dcb1138 ugh that gives me chills. Are u done with your ketamine sessions? Do you go in for booster shots? I have such horrible depression. I’ve been losing hope but since reading about ketamine I’m really really curious! I can’t afford it but god damn it I’ll make it work! My insurance covers the nasal spray but the doctor needs to be in network. I hear drip is better.
I’ve dislocated my shoulder a few times, only way the hospitals can get it back in place has been ketamine. Both experiences were unique in their own way. First one I was definitely a one. But my second time, it was INSANE. Sitting in the hospital bed when it hit me so hard I fell out of my body, and into a weird catacomb type area I believe was within myself. I was exploring around, walking down a narrow hallway with many doors while the doctors are working on my arm. Crazy thing is I had this epiphany while I was under, and it was that I’d be back visiting the catacomb within myself, my soul. I’ve been researching ketamine therapy and I’m genuinely excited to go through with this, overcome my childhood trauma, heal myself, and end this generational trauma cycle for my kids. If I can do it, you can too. You are worth it, and worth investing in your happiness. #itstopshere
I had an ANGRY and disturbing reaction to my ketamine. My past traumas were uncovered and my subconscious started speaking things that I would never say in real life. Secrets that I’ve been keeping for a long time. I even got violent and tried to rip my IV out and leave the facility. It was a necessary but hard experience for sure. I honestly would do it again because it taught me so much.
@@ahmedfraz8324 I've seen you ask this a couple times on this page. I'm curious, have you tried anti-depressants, more specifically SSRI's and/or SNRI's. I had been suffering for well over 10 years, and got good relief by using Celexa. It might take a while, typically 8-12 weeks before noticable benefits, but it's effective. I tried them many times over the past 15 years, but never stuck with it, until this last time. I'm not trying to dissuade your use of ketamine, just wanting to help out.
For me I relate it to a deep tissue massage. Extreamly uncomfortible but felt amazing after. Those suppressed memories have to be processed and felt in order to let go. I would call it an intense experience not a bad one. It was only bad when I fought it. The more I let go and surrendered to it the better it got. Extreamly theraputic.
Very grateful for this. I'm currently in the intake process. This video describes a set of experiences I desperately need. I hope it works for me in these ways.
@@catfish5272 yes, greatly so. I can't believe I never heard of it till last year. I can't believe the past few decades of major depression could've been solved with this simple medication this whole time and nobody told me. Smh. All that suffering was totally unnecessary this entire time. It got rid of the depression but I took around 6 months to stabilize. In addition, my case is so severe I needed lozenges for in between infusions to extend their effectiveness or I would need to return in a week's time. So now my maintenance is 3 lozenges a day and then infusions every 3-4 weeks. I also am on propranolol for migraines and anxiety. The ketamine helped knock those to about half their frequency/severity and the propranolol gets the other half. In addition, my IV is now also dosed with magnesium, which also has a calming effect. My anxiety was really really bad. I didn't even know how bad it was till the depression was gone, then I experienced it separately for the first time in my life and I was shocked at how debilitating it was. Now that is under control. At least in general. If I am put in an anxiety provoking situation, I still get it and it will look bad to ppl around me, but it's nowhere as severe as it had been. The depression can override the ketamine if traumatic things are happening, and then it's necessary to go back for infusion sooner. I try really hard to avoid traumatizing occurrences as restabilizing is such a huge expense.....I'm just glad I'm no longer constantly severely anxious and depressed all the time. It is definitely worth it and I really hope at some point iv ketamine can be covered by insurance. Right now literally all our money goes to keeping me alive with this treatment..
I was put under 2 times in the E.R to set a dislocated shoulder. Both times i had the experience of traveling thru a black hole with vivid colors and a sense of speed and motion to the edge of the universe while my body was being separated into atoms and then coming back together with the realization i was experiencing my death. I was at peace with the thought and only felt bad for the effect my passing would have on my parents. It's been a month since, but it had a profound effect and think about it daily. I can only hope that when my time is actually up it happens exactly like that.
It’s crazy I had a mix of these experiences. First I relived my whole life until it happened. Then I Fr thought I was dying and I accepted it and felt at peace with myself😂
My first and only IV Ketamine Imfusion was so terribly traumatizing to me I decided to not going any further with treatments. I was attempting these treatments to help with a chronic pain condition. I also have a history of substance abuse with some of those substances being psychedelics. I feel as though had I not had prior experience using LSD, Psilocybin Shrooms, & 2C-B my Ketamine infusion would have been far more traumatic to me. Being a chronic pain sufferer I am all to accustomed to the feeling of sedation and that was the first thing I felt up the Infusion beginning. During the infusion I was also aware of me the machine had pushed a but more Ketamine because I could feel this overpowering shift deeper into dissociation. I had no comeup, false sense of well-being, and certainly not euphoria at any point during the infusion. Not long after the feeling of sedation I had a second shit where everything went completely black as if my consciousness sank into a the deep recesses of my unconscious mind. Then the third shift came on an everything though still pitch black took on a demonic undertone. This super heavy negative presence just surrounded whatever little shred of actual self aware consciousness I had left. Then the forth shift happened and at that point that demonic force forced me so deep within myself I fell into a complete catatonic stupur. Although I knew my body was out there laying back and I was non-verbally screaming at my brain to move my leg or arm the connection between my conscious mind and living body had been severed. It was then a 5th shift began and I died for a moment and I did not exist. Then a 6th shift happened and I began seeing myself thru the eyes of my family and all I saw was how much a absolute burden I had been since my chronic pain condition began. The demonic undertones hadn't ever left and at this point finally spoke to me and said "at what point are you going to let you family live their lives free of your burden, you have not being living life as you are, take the next step and absolve you family from the burden that is you!" A seventh and final shift began where all I could hear were distorted fractal screaming and super fast unintelligible whispering and I believe this coincided with when the nurse overseeing the infusion said tears began streaking down my face but I didn't make a sound or move an inch. They were completely silent out of nowhere tears. In fact the nurse told me afterwards that I fell completely silent and still 2 to 3 mins into the 50min infusion. Then a final shift happened and it sounded like a crack of thunder reverberated throughout the whole room. Flashes of light began to occur and I internally yelled "MOVE" again and was finally able to slightly move my fingers and feet. It was around this same time the nurse told me I began to try to speak. My first clear words were "he is the darkness" & "the darkness has always been and is staying." It was then that I finally said outloud what I was thinking and I remember saying to the nurse "why the fuck do people do this drug recreationally? I'd rather be narcaned back from an OD than go thru that fucking shit again!" Then I slowly came too enough that I was aware of my external self and then fell asleep.
just had my second treatment both pure hell....supposed to have 6 total and I am not sure i can get thru another one. I am seeing improvement in myself depression suicidal thoughts anger BUT the treatments are so terrifying and agonizing...I feel like i dont exist theres this blank nothingness and i will always be there my self never existed. nothing is real its truly aweful. felt like i could barely breath and the nausea after goes on for days...headaches
@@MrsFearEstate it was interesting. After 6 infusions I noticed a decrease in my level of hypervigilance. I did 14 hours of EMDR therapy at the beginning of this year and that helped immensely as well. I’m currently in my last 6 weeks of training to be a Clinical Hypnotherapist and that journey has been quite healing.
I had a very bad Ketamine experience. I started having a panic attack, foaming at the mouth and had trouble breathing. My body was almost totally paralyzed. I could barely speak and begged them to stop. It took several hours after for me to be able to gain enough control of my body to walk and felt it affecting my body until the next day. My Ketamine experience traumatized me and further degraded my trust in medical professionals.
Finally found the way to describe how I felt after taking too much ket I could vaguely see myself whilst standing in fear and confusion looking at the toilet. Was absolutely petrified can’t even describe how I felt tbh, hope no one feels what I felt be careful with ketamine
I found myself standing in places from my childhood and every time I took a step forward the world would revolve around me and I was in a different place from my childhood. Very strange
i was put into a medically induced k-hole for emergency surgery.. i experienced full separation of mind and body.. my consciousness slipt into a black void almost like space. my body no longer existed just thoughts in a void.. having no idea what these types of experiences are i assumed it was death
yeah hopefully the doctor explained to you that might happen. After reading a bunch of youtube comments tonight, I'm starting to think there are some really irresponsible or dick headed anesthesiologists out there.
Dude I knowwww!! I was like so is my awareness going to shut off now or am I going to be stuck here forever. Terrible terrible nightmare. I was a galactic cloud of swirling fragmented textures that went on forever. Part of me might still be stuck out there....
So if it was terrifying that usually means it was not so good and a warning. But then some people like horror movies I guess because they feel real during the experience and love to walk away from it as if it were a bad dream. I’ve had two by the way.
thank u for sharing this. i have had 2 treatments each horrificly scary. i thought i was dead nothing existed i was never coming back to life. nothing pleasant or euphoric about either treatment at all. BUT i went in having trauma loops suicidal angry depressed....supposed to have 6 but cant imagine how i can possible get thru even one more treatment.@@jamesbond8540
Hmmm! Near Death Experience. My understanding is that it was designed as a muscle relaxant for surgery so that muscles would not writhe about during surgery. Fascinating.
Recently got my ACL surgery, at first I thought the ketamine effects will be like general anesthesia but turn out to be it is much more phenomenal. I'd say point 2 & 3 described my feelings during in operation theater. Would love to experience it again.
I remember being in a car accident and being given ketamine for anesthesia. That feeling that you’re dying… very real and kinda scary. But at the same time I experienced alien like life forms surrounding me while I was laying in hospital bed. Then I felt like I was flying through different dimensions - through these big doorways that looked very much like drop box slits in a slot machine. Weirdest experience ever.
Ketamine is SO f’n alien drug I used recreationally twice snorting a big rail and was so bizarre. My friend was like 30 foot tall super weird I couldn’t tell if I had to crap or use bathroom or what was going on. Total mess. Using the infusions is far different I had 4 in the last two weeks. I cried and had blissful moments and beyond terrifying ones too. Ketamine therapy is fucking hard believe me! It doesn’t mean it isn’t good but man you have to buckle up and be ready because it’s going to kick you ass
I spent 5 days inpatient at Stanford University Hospital for ketamine infusion and I never experienced those frightening experiences as described here. I had the best experience that was in a controlled environment and safe. I was in a private room and it was very peaceful, not those creepy feelings described here. Too bad we moved to the east coast and no one does that here. I was treated for severe pain caused by an incompetent doc and the slow release ketamine treatments at Stanford made my life bearable again.

I've done ketamin about 5 times in the last year, and the last 4 tines have been while taking LSD. I'm not really sure what I'm allowed to say. I dont really want to get into legal trouble, but all I'll say is it always gives you the last one you described and it seems to make it a lot more.... interdimentional. It kind of feels like there many different dimensions and each ones on a different frequency, and we run on the same frequency as our dimension and thats why we see it. And it almost feels like ketamin allows us to raise or lower our frequency, and we can see a another dimension when we stabilise our frequency to be the same as it. Sounds crazy I know, but thats the best way i can describe it.
Nope… none of these describe my experience at 2.1 mg/kg. I actually was still aware of myself and had to keep reassuring myself I was ok as I was getting sucked through my gray brain matter. I than could feel my dissolving self becoming covered with dirt … BUT being a control freak in a way to protect myself and my well being … letting go to this terrible experience, that should be painfully terrifying … becomes somewhat enjoyable because I’m no longer scared to die. But I never completely disassociate and my conscious and subconscious self work as a team to keep me where I need to be… I set my intentions to not fight wherever the mind takes me. But the one disappointing factor is I remember the entire experience and it’s pretty dark and not hugely insightful… I mean dark as not colorful… I’m like a worm finding my way out of a deep hole. The deep hole is my brain that holds my consciousness. So far, total of 9 treatments, I am back to my baseline depression… but I was pulled out of the worst depression I have ever had in my life, so these K infusions saved me. Now I am just waiting to find out how far these K infusions can take this little worm…
@@director2bob intranasal, snort, because where i am ,even though it's been approved by the eda (european fda) , they're slow as shit to get it here, so i'm not waiting. it works, and decades of ssri's have not, so i self-treat.
When I broke my leg they put me on ketamine, and it was very discomforting but I also felt safe in a way. My whole body was this one thing that was bending and flowing in all directions very fast, I could also hear what was going on around me, but I felt super disconnected in my own world where I was just constantly moving and bending. I had a really weird experience
I had what I would describe as a ADE "actual death experience "(obviously it was an experience), I was pushing the boundaries of ketamine, intranasally, got up to 150-200mg, when I had started experiencing repeated time loops, where I would be trying to get off the couch with friends. I would say goodbye, shake hands, give hugs and then it would loop back and I would start again dozens of times (ground hog day type, but minutes not days), but each time slightly differently, even the television was looping back to the beginning. I started to have the strangest paradoxical puzzle conversation with some form of genius in my head, who kept check mating any attempt to rationalise the situation. The conclusion it give me was I was god creating the reality, there was no time, no space or any other conscious beings in the universe. You can imagine the fear at this point but then my vision went, but I was still playing out the time loops, but just feeling the sensations of touching hands, hugging, petting the dog…etc….it was like all known fundamentals of science did not exist, I was rapidly crashing, things speeding up exponentially, then bang, black screen, with a line of computer code. I thought I died, I then woke up and was lying on the couch with friends around me, I thought I was in heaven, and that my life had been a game of some sort, I kissed my friends and thought they were gods & goddesses. To this day 10th April is the date I died and was reborn, Ive taken large dosages of DMT 5-MEO DMT, LSD, Ayahuasca….but nothing even comes close to this experience. Synchronicities days and weeks after where abundant and strong, its nearly 4 weeks since that day and I am still feeling the aftershocks, terrifyingly beautiful, life changing to say the least….its put my off psychedelics experiments for life.
The unity consciousness is amazing..I experienced 5his on new years night..im sure others were out in the astral world searching for the same...celebrating in the ocean of data and info, maybe even stumbling into akashik records!
my first dose was in a doctors examination room on the bed they have and I had to move out of the bed then on a chair then go to the nurse station to check bp and I was extremely uncomfortable because there was no silence or time to sit down and take it all in it distrupted my entire experience and I spoke to the doctor about this and he was completely upset that they didnt take me to the appropriate room with recliner chairs and curtains and low lights etc. today is my second treatment and they promised me to do it in that room
I had it the other day with my broken arm and dislocated shoulder.I had all 4 types and more.Going back in time to when i was younger.I felt the staff moving me round in slow motion.Then i went into a rubicks cube an twisted back to the future with chunks of my life.I must of entered the K-hole,but also tripped into heaven for a bit.The craziest experience ever.Stronger than acid and magic mushrooms from the 90's.I had to fight to come back to reality in hospital.....The matrix is true is the first thing i said to the nurse,,haha.
Funny thing is I have a broken shoulder and torn rotator cuff and may need surgery soon. Just out of curiosity, what does did you take and how was it administered?
@@director2bob Firstly they gave me the max amount of morphine but because i'm on a drug called suboxone which blocks opium because of past addictions it wasn't working,so it was option 2.They inject k,i don't know how much.It's best to research it anyway.Try and be positive because i was worried about my new computer that had fell down the stairs with me(it was alright in the end)but i didn't know about the k hole,that was horrible at first,but you just ride it out and it gets better!!!!🙂
@@apples3213 that’s crazy bro. I know all about Suboxone because I fell off a stage and broke 17 bones (15 ribs, clavicle & skull) so you can only imagine the fucking pain I dealt with and insane amount of opioids I was prescribed. 120 mg OxyContin daily and fentanyl patch. I detoxed off opioids with subs and I was always worried about getting injured during that time. So the fact they shot you up with K at hospital and you tripped balls in a deep K hole is fucking dope crazy story. Almost want to laugh but know it’s not funny especially when you were unprepared for such a deep out of body experience. That’s crazy. Did the Drs even warn you? They always say setting, intention, feeling healthy etc helps for a pleasant trip. You were injured in hospital so yeah of course you were not ready or prepared so it must have been terrifying. First time I smoked DMT I though I had OD and that was the end which terrifying at first. So I get it, I have a friend who will only use K and when he does snorts .2 g and tells me it’s just as deep and out of body as DMT. He purposely puts himself into the deepest K hole possible and says once you let go it’s the most amazing psychedelic trip he has ever experienced. Anyway thanks for sharing your story. It’s still so rad you were in hospital and Dr shot you up which is a great story. I am certain you felt no pain at the time. Stay well my friend. 🤟
Hi Dr. Ko, I will be receiving those soon. I am a 150 pound male, and i wanted to know what do you consider would be a good dose in a context where ketamine infusion is used for chronic pain
The doses are variable and will depend upon each patient. This question would be perfect for your ketamine doctor who will be giving you the infusion soon! Best wishes!
Ok... I have a TBI from motorcycle accident. Have been offered the chance to heal my broken head. I understand completely about psychedelics. Have used psybicilin mushrooms in the past with great success. If ketamine will allow me to heal myself or start the process. Now... can I have a therapist with me during the treatment?? Will I be able to process the issues? I'm on board with whatever works. Cause the pills have almost killed me. Thanks Richard Michael
. There is no price to peace of mind. Im a vet with PTSD, Depression and suicidal ideations and this has begun to change my life. There are a lot of centers and its important you do your research. Find one that is quiet, accessible and has someone reputable.
@@mandytuttle3051 what is versed? I am a control freak with high anxiety. I am terrified to do the treatment like I will lose control and have a panic attack. I want the positive experiences I've heard people share about. I want it to help my depression and anxiety.
I’ve had 3 infusions so far and each has been different. My first time, I was extremely aware. My body felt numb. I couldn’t get over the fact that I was high, and I knew it. I was afraid to close my eyes because I thought I would die so I kept them open the entire time and stared at the northern lights/waves projected on the ceiling. It was just bizarre. My second infusion was incredible! I knew where I was in reality, but there was a point where I had to move my body to check if I was dead. I felt so much peace. I saw darkness, but there was an essence as though I was in outer space looking upon the universe. I knew that God loves me and He loves all His children, and nothing else matters. I knew that everything was going to be ok because of that. I also saw darkness with shapes of dark colors of light coming at me, kinda like a cartoon time traveling tunnel. One was heart shaped. My third was nice, but kinda unremarkable and not profound like my second one, as I had hoped.
How often do you think one should have the infusions and how should they be spaced out when startingp? the place im going to only works tuesdays and thursdays and idk if its good two do them that close together and then wait 5 days for my next one
Why does no one ever share if it helped on long term say after a year without taking any more and did depression go how about side effects? Not experiencebut RESULTS long term and health interest me
1) No, but we do get all the medical records from your doctors. 2) Check out our article here regarding insurance: www.resetketamine.com/blog/insurance-coverage-for-ketamine
I want to get treatment, either this or mushrooms, DMT, whatever. I have depression, anxiety and really bad emotional issues since childhood that I can't shake off, such as my mother being so cruel as to tell me I'm going to hell if I don't immediately ask for Jesus to forgive me for every thing I do wrong before I die. This has caused me to fear God more than love God and no matter what anyone says, I don't think I've lived one day of my life without thinking about death. It has gotten to the point that I'm spiritually confused, spiritually anxious and miserable. I'm afraid that if ketamine and others are just a brain interaction where your mind is creating the experience, that I might create a hall of horrors that leaves me worse off than before. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Edit for a typo
@The Maestro.. personally, as in life, acceptance is key, often. Go with the flow... push anxiety and fear away. No one will intrude on your Conscienceness. If Spirituality is a focal point for you, profound awareness just might open a new door. Try it. GL
So what happens if someone starts having a panic attack, etc. What measures are taken to calm them down? Im asking because im very interested in trying this but the near death aspect is a little too close to home due to past traumatic experience ive had and gives me anxiety just thinking about putting myself in a situation where i may possibly experience something Similar again. What would be the steps to deescalate that situation, if that were to happen during the treatment process?
There is nothing that can be done in the external environment as it's a very inward experience. It literally takes you to another realm. I would not recommend it if you have anxiety. It could potentially be traumatic for you.
Anxiety and PTSD slipped away for this control freak. I set intentions and meditate as treatment begins and beforehand. It has GREATLY dissolved my anxiety. Disassociation is very protective. Positivity when beginning each experience. Best of luck
Hmmm....you mentioned dosage. I had mostly horrible experiences, 2 complete open oneness with everything , and then several being reborn to relive the same life over and over again with the same mother. This was terrifying. **** I asked the doctor to lighten up on the dosage. He told me several times that isn't an option. The dosage is a set dosage. So he added prpofol to knock me out so I didn't have a bad experience. That wore off before the Ketamine. So I k-holed anyway. So now I'm feeling like he lied. Why...money? I'd still be going for maintenance infusions if he would have lowered the dosage. I have been taking Spravato for over a year and I think it is helping somewhat.
Is ketamine anything like ayahuasca's intensity? Because all my aya trips except one have been horrifying for me and didn't really help me in the long run.
I had k twice while hauing a severe astma attacks the first time it was great i couldnt breathe was near death once given k it calmed me right down second time it was to severe of an asthma attack that i was given such a high dose of k that it put me straight to sleep i was woken up 6 days later to find out i had been intubated
I've had two sessions with the Troche/lozenges, not an IV. With my long term therapist in the room. Is the experience different if you aren't on an IV, and also depending on what the treatment is for? I am being treated for complex PTSD. In my first session, I relived memories at a few points in my life. The next day, I had an epiphany about the connections between them. In my second session, I saw again memories replayed, but they were of two people who had passed away many years ago. I had a similar epiphany about a day later. In both, I felt like I was dreaming but also awake. In both sessions, I also cried a lot which my therapist and I both recognized as releasing trauma trapped in my body. Just wondering if this type of experience is common too.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Each person’s experience is unique and can vary between treatments too. It is important to discuss this with your ketamine specialist/therapist to properly integrate your experience. Best wishes.
I had 6 infusions I'm a complicated person, first 3 great went back in time , relived great times with very detailed quality , I cried during one but it was about my mom's death I never really cried when she passed 11 yrs ago so it was a crying balling session 4th became scary I asked to stop 5th ok 6th panic attack again had to come out , so I'm a very anxious person so I'm not surprised that it didnt end well I dont think I will have another , I got real problems my exwife has turned my son against me so ketamine is not going to cure that I love him way too much it's just awful! I hate the bitch so much it consumes me!
Glad you were able to have some powerful initial infusions! It sounds like the last few were challenging though. Ketamine is definitely not for everyone.
i find it helpful to take low dose benzo before doing the K if im in a period of my life where im having bad anxiety, but it does lower the psychedelic experience a little bit
Thank you for your question! We have a blog written on that topic here www.resetketamine.com/blog/2019/4/14/does-music-impact-the-ketamine-experience or check out our video on this topic ua-cam.com/video/6ADcyeFHwxo/v-deo.html
What is the dose one must be Administired, there is a clinic in india bangalore, so just want to make sure they give the right amount, Also heard in some people it causes depression Or anxiety is it true??
How many mg iv would u need to get the obe or nde? Obviously, 50 mg isn't enuf(felt like high 1st or low 2nd plateau of dxm), which I did with the first treatment.
What would happen if one has a bad experience or trip while on their infusion? I would like to try this therapy as I am tired of my depression and anxiety medication and the fact that nothing feels like it is helping me. I am scared to try this so that is the reason I ask.
Thank you for your question. You might want to check out our blog written on this topic here www.resetketamine.com/blog/2019/3/11/how-to-handle-bad-experiences-with-ketamine . It’s important to speak with the ketamine specialist/clinic on how they approach handling difficult experiences during the treatment. Integration of the experience and talking with someone such as an integration specialist or therapist can assist in supporting you if challenging experiences do arise. Best wishes.
Hi Doc, since you said leave a comment. Drugs scare me , because I do not know much about drugs. I have seen many people who are crazy through all and drugs. I know we need drugs, medicinal only, my opinion. But, I had an experience over 22 years ago, for about 10 or 12 days, where I was so happy and full of joy, non stop. Hard to explain, it was similar in being in love, only much better. What was it? It was the Lord, He filled me with so much joy, I cannot explain it, it has to happen to you. Long story. Just thought I let you know.
I had my 5th weekly injection into the muscle of ket today. I merged with God and came back, all in a one hour session. Greatest experience of my life.
I move and flow like water, around and around, up and down and in and out, push and pull. Every session in my mind my feet always end up above my head and Im floating in a vast void of space and stars upside down (so peaceful) , but then there are periods of no movement when things are so incredible still (never experienced stillness like that before and its almost uncomfortable) and I'm stuck In my mind/ not my body as I don't have a body in those still moments. Music Im listening too in those moments become harder to hear. But then I always resume movement. Some sessions My feet go above my head many times and some sessions only once. But also during every session somewhere maybe in the middle I do feel my body and am aware of it and Im cold like metal and in my mind I'm bundled up like an eskimo. I don't mind being cold, its not uncomfortable but almost spiritual energy. I also listen to worship music and feel a connection to God. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting a "God" infusion" I wish I could stay there all the time. (at the start of the ketamine at the lower doses) my mind would get stuck on a neg idea and I ruminate but once the song changes so does the thought and then I dont even remember what I was thinking about. At session 12 I don't ruminate. After session 4, I cried uncontrollably and didn't know I was crying because I couldn't feel my tears (only that the nurse was wiping them away) that was the first session I stopped watching tv, put on an eye mask and played my worship music. I havent cried like that since. At two sessions I invented a product during my treatment...not on purpose. I might pursue my invention idea lol.
And then there's the experience of feeling a little woozy (like being drunk) and going half-conscious. That was my first infusion, my next is in a couple days. Could this minimal experience be due to too much or too little ketamine? Or is it just one of the many normal ways people can react?
I accidentally had a candy bar that had THC in it. I don’t do drugs and never have. I ended up passing out but not all the way.. I HATED THIS! I couldn’t control my thoughts and they were racing doing circles.. Does Ketamine do this? If so I’m not sure I could do it..
Thanks for your question. Regardless if you live nearby a ketamine clinic in the states or if you are a foreigner living in Brazil, you’ll need to have a consultation with a ketamine specialist to see if you are a candidate for ketamine therapy. The consultation will determine if you’ll be able to receive this treatment.
I just want to find a legit music playlist specifically for ketamine infusions.... I heard some good tracks out there but they’re played out. I’ve been doing these infusions for almost 3 years, so I need some change in beats here....wish someone out there knows of someone that can make some dope ass k- infusion music that can really enhance the treatment
Experimented in college in early adulthood with different mind, altering and mood altering chemicals, and I tried ketamine maybe three times. A friend of a friend who I was visiting on Miami Beach over New Year’s, cooked up some K in his microwave, chopped it up and offered me some. I think we had some right before we left, and then he offered me some in the car on the way,. we were coming from Coconut Grove. By the time we got to Washington Street in Miami Beach, it was starting to hit hard as we were walking into the club and once we walked in I was not functioning. I couldn’t talk. I needed to be led around, friends would come up to me and I was in a very obviously intoxicated space. Let’s just say I was acting the fool. It did wear off relatively quickly. But I would never mix it with alcohol. I believe you can get violently ill.

I have a outer body experience when I was robbed and beaten. Oddly calm ? Accepted death, how strange that felt. Peace when being beaten to death. Hmmmm
Same happened to me.. I thought I was dying but I was happy so weird
I've been getting ketamine treatments for depression and chronic pain; my experiences have always been the 4th type. Time and physical space fold up, compress, unfold again into new spaces years apart. Eventually I'll fold up as well and become part of this fractal experience that's going on forever and ever. Each moment freezes in place and gets impossibly stretched, collapses into itself, rearranges into a new thing that will in turn fold up, mutate... and I do the same thing.
....but also my doctor turned into a purple rectangle and I became my own mouth, so. -shrug-
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at the end thank u for that
Omg I laughed so hard at your ending as well. THANK YOU! I needed that. 😂
I received ketamine for a broken and dislocated ankle in the ambulance that transported me to the ER, I experienced the most beautiful death experience. My spirit left my body and went to heaven where I saw God and saved souls, this happened 17 months ago and this experience is still fresh in my mind
WTF. I had a literal bone sticking out my leg and they wouldn't even give me TYLENOL in the ambulance.
I had the last one. It was so incredible. It wasn’t meant to be a dose that would cause this. I felt that I was a part of everything, as well as a feeling of an inner understanding of this. I remember almost laughing at the simplicity of being. (unfortunately, I forgot a lot of it as time passed.) I have dealt with severe depression for my entire life. The hardest part is always being so trapped inside a mind that wouldn’t quiet. This experience was the first time that I wasn’t thinking of anything with the exception of little things, like, “is it starting? ...am I still here... is this really happening? That’s when I felt like laughing, because it was my habitual thought patterns trying to interfere and couldn’t, it wasn’t needed anymore.” I knew I was much more than just what my brain normally allowed me to be. Amazing experience.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
During second session, when first starting ketamine I woke up crying uncontrollably... I have no idea why, nurse asked did you have a bad dream, I said I don’t know, I don’t recall.. I don’t remember seeing hearing anything just woke up crying.. then next thing I know she was you’ll be on relax, I was out.. I do 6 hrs treatments in a minor er every 2 weeks..
Wow. That is the same experience I had with the Ketamine. The feeling of complete understanding of everything that went on just was so wondrous. I did laugh though, great belly laughs! As I was coming out of it people looked soooo funny. And I felt like Gumby. The last place I went was a place where I could observe my thoughts. It was like a stream of water or a ticker-tape with all the beliefs and likes and dislikes that I had in life. Full of opinions that I had about life. It was funny to watch and I saw how silly and useless they were. The reduction of pain and depression was phenomenal! This was during my 5th infusion. I can't wait to see what the long-term effects are.

Do you mean your last of 6 infusions? How are you now? Did you need to get boosters?
I have had 4 of 6 so far.
How have you been since? Has your depression improved? Has your life improved?
I had a mixture of the third and fourth one. It was a very life changing experience. I felt that all concept of time and body was gone and the life I was living was millions of years ago. It physically felt like extreme pulling and flowing through different universes and realms. I had thought I was dead and had crossed over to a new life and this experience was how I would live for eternity. I was also viewing the colors of the object I looked at before closing my eyes and falling into the experience. It was like I was feeling a reflection of my existence and heard my name being called from all directions. I feel like what is going on and being said outside of you reflects what is happening in your mind.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds incredible and ineffable.
I had a similar experience last night. It was like my consciousness had hoped over to a new identical reality and the old me was dead, this is how i live now. It was like i could see see what makes up ‘reality’. I would think of a simple everyday thing and be able to see the infinite complexities that make it possible for that thing to happen. Hard to explain, crazy stuff
Which session # was that, and how many mg?
How was your experience with ketamine.. was it helpful.. has it any side effects.. plz let me know.. I am suffering from depression for four years
She has possibly moved on but that was interesting. After two sessions I still don’t know what to make of it. Physically, I began to breathe deeply and my arms, stretched out in front of me, felt like they belonged to someone else. I do not like needles so there’s that. I did develop an urge to pee late into the second time but I have a history of prostate trouble.
Ketamine was the beginning of my spiritual journey, it took me to the infinite within my consciousness and made me realize that we're not humans but fragments of consciousness within Gods mind, it was worth fracturing my wrist at 15, God bless everyone
The same to me,,,I think everyone who has taken ketamine understand world more,,, especially intravenous

I had a feeling that my body was shutting down and i was dying, i cried out in help as i felt my body was shutting down, and then i was completely in a different dimension, no anxiety, no pain. and i talked to "beings" that were loving and understanding, when i came back, i thought i had been gone for like 12 hours, but ive been in a sleepstate for about 1hour, and afterwards i felt very happy and calm.
It can be a very scary experience, but its really worth it.
And like everyone says, try to go with the flow.

THANK YOU!!! I was never told anything about these types of experiences on the medication. The doctor never mentioned it. No one did. I have had the fourth one for all six treatments. I have reached the fourth state you mention through meditation. I couldn't understand why I was having these very rare meditation experiences during treatments. I thought I was weird. It was scary. Not sure why doctors are not telling patients they will have experiences like this.
For a professional ket infusion

I had total hip replacement surgery two weeks ago. Positive history for depression / anxiety for decades. After surgery I went into shock. I was up and yelling and feeling agitated and out of control. But a bigger part of me was an observer, I was about 3 feet over my body and I heard my own voice tell me very clearly. “ You will never suffer a depth of depression again. “ Now I am of course curious as to what that consciousness was and the experience was so profound. I know I am fundamentally altered, grateful.
Veteran,,It has been a life saver for me. I've had several peaceful spiritual types of experiences, and I'm not religious . I would also add that the types of experiences one might have may be very similar to a strong dose edible. The mind set and enviorment is everything.

I saw myself leaving our galaxy and universe. It made me sad because I was leaving my wife and children behind. Very weirdly upsetting....it made me love my children more.
Wow, thank you for sharing! Our family is so important and precious to appreciate in this moment.
Wow, that’s really interesting. How was it therapeutically?

@@catfish5272 YES.. 2 weeks later I quit my oppressive job. And months later was offered a MUCH better one. ! My life has been 1000% better ever since.. In fact, for the first time in my life I'm actually living. I could say Ketamine gave me the balls to leap off the cliff into the unknown... and it worked out
@@dcb1138 ugh that gives me chills. Are u done with your ketamine sessions? Do you go in for booster shots? I have such horrible depression. I’ve been losing hope but since reading about ketamine I’m really really curious! I can’t afford it but god damn it I’ll make it work! My insurance covers the nasal spray but the doctor needs to be in network. I hear drip is better.
I’ve dislocated my shoulder a few times, only way the hospitals can get it back in place has been ketamine. Both experiences were unique in their own way. First one I was definitely a one. But my second time, it was INSANE. Sitting in the hospital bed when it hit me so hard I fell out of my body, and into a weird catacomb type area I believe was within myself. I was exploring around, walking down a narrow hallway with many doors while the doctors are working on my arm. Crazy thing is I had this epiphany while I was under, and it was that I’d be back visiting the catacomb within myself, my soul. I’ve been researching ketamine therapy and I’m genuinely excited to go through with this, overcome my childhood trauma, heal myself, and end this generational trauma cycle for my kids.
If I can do it, you can too. You are worth it, and worth investing in your happiness. #itstopshere
Has it helped with the trauma?
Gave me ketamine when they tried to reset my broken ankle. Most terrifying experience of my life!
I had an ANGRY and disturbing reaction to my ketamine. My past traumas were uncovered and my subconscious started speaking things that I would never say in real life. Secrets that I’ve been keeping for a long time. I even got violent and tried to rip my IV out and leave the facility. It was a necessary but hard experience for sure. I honestly would do it again because it taught me so much.
You are quite courageous.

@@ahmedfraz8324 I've seen you ask this a couple times on this page. I'm curious, have you tried anti-depressants, more specifically SSRI's and/or SNRI's.
I had been suffering for well over 10 years, and got good relief by using Celexa. It might take a while, typically 8-12 weeks before noticable benefits, but it's effective.
I tried them many times over the past 15 years, but never stuck with it, until this last time.
I'm not trying to dissuade your use of ketamine, just wanting to help out.
For me I relate it to a deep tissue massage. Extreamly uncomfortible but felt amazing after. Those suppressed memories have to be processed and felt in order to let go. I would call it an intense experience not a bad one. It was only bad when I fought it. The more I let go and surrendered to it the better it got. Extreamly theraputic.
Very grateful for this. I'm currently in the intake process. This video describes a set of experiences I desperately need. I hope it works for me in these ways.
Did it?
@@catfish5272 yes, greatly so. I can't believe I never heard of it till last year. I can't believe the past few decades of major depression could've been solved with this simple medication this whole time and nobody told me. Smh. All that suffering was totally unnecessary this entire time. It got rid of the depression but I took around 6 months to stabilize. In addition, my case is so severe I needed lozenges for in between infusions to extend their effectiveness or I would need to return in a week's time. So now my maintenance is 3 lozenges a day and then infusions every 3-4 weeks. I also am on propranolol for migraines and anxiety. The ketamine helped knock those to about half their frequency/severity and the propranolol gets the other half. In addition, my IV is now also dosed with magnesium, which also has a calming effect. My anxiety was really really bad. I didn't even know how bad it was till the depression was gone, then I experienced it separately for the first time in my life and I was shocked at how debilitating it was. Now that is under control. At least in general. If I am put in an anxiety provoking situation, I still get it and it will look bad to ppl around me, but it's nowhere as severe as it had been. The depression can override the ketamine if traumatic things are happening, and then it's necessary to go back for infusion sooner. I try really hard to avoid traumatizing occurrences as restabilizing is such a huge expense.....I'm just glad I'm no longer constantly severely anxious and depressed all the time. It is definitely worth it and I really hope at some point iv ketamine can be covered by insurance. Right now literally all our money goes to keeping me alive with this treatment..
I was put under 2 times in the E.R to set a dislocated shoulder. Both times i had the experience of traveling thru a black hole with vivid colors and a sense of speed and motion to the edge of the universe while my body was being separated into atoms and then coming back together with the realization i was experiencing my death. I was at peace with the thought and only felt bad for the effect my passing would have on my parents. It's been a month since, but it had a profound effect and think about it daily. I can only hope that when my time is actually up it happens exactly like that.
It’s crazy I had a mix of these experiences. First I relived my whole life until it happened. Then I Fr thought I was dying and I accepted it and felt at peace with myself😂
What had you? Ketamine or S-Ketamine?
My friend got her ketamine and took 750mg her first time and had ego death. I started with my doctor's recommendation of 200 mg and had good results!
My first and only IV Ketamine Imfusion was so terribly traumatizing to me I decided to not going any further with treatments.
I was attempting these treatments to help with a chronic pain condition. I also have a history of substance abuse with some of those substances being psychedelics. I feel as though had I not had prior experience using LSD, Psilocybin Shrooms, & 2C-B my Ketamine infusion would have been far more traumatic to me.
Being a chronic pain sufferer I am all to accustomed to the feeling of sedation and that was the first thing I felt up the Infusion beginning. During the infusion I was also aware of me the machine had pushed a but more Ketamine because I could feel this overpowering shift deeper into dissociation. I had no comeup, false sense of well-being, and certainly not euphoria at any point during the infusion. Not long after the feeling of sedation I had a second shit where everything went completely black as if my consciousness sank into a the deep recesses of my unconscious mind. Then the third shift came on an everything though still pitch black took on a demonic undertone. This super heavy negative presence just surrounded whatever little shred of actual self aware consciousness I had left. Then the forth shift happened and at that point that demonic force forced me so deep within myself I fell into a complete catatonic stupur. Although I knew my body was out there laying back and I was non-verbally screaming at my brain to move my leg or arm the connection between my conscious mind and living body had been severed. It was then a 5th shift began and I died for a moment and I did not exist. Then a 6th shift happened and I began seeing myself thru the eyes of my family and all I saw was how much a absolute burden I had been since my chronic pain condition began. The demonic undertones hadn't ever left and at this point finally spoke to me and said "at what point are you going to let you family live their lives free of your burden, you have not being living life as you are, take the next step and absolve you family from the burden that is you!" A seventh and final shift began where all I could hear were distorted fractal screaming and super fast unintelligible whispering and I believe this coincided with when the nurse overseeing the infusion said tears began streaking down my face but I didn't make a sound or move an inch. They were completely silent out of nowhere tears. In fact the nurse told me afterwards that I fell completely silent and still 2 to 3 mins into the 50min infusion.
Then a final shift happened and it sounded like a crack of thunder reverberated throughout the whole room. Flashes of light began to occur and I internally yelled "MOVE" again and was finally able to slightly move my fingers and feet. It was around this same time the nurse told me I began to try to speak. My first clear words were "he is the darkness" & "the darkness has always been and is staying."
It was then that I finally said outloud what I was thinking and I remember saying to the nurse "why the fuck do people do this drug recreationally? I'd rather be narcaned back from an OD than go thru that fucking shit again!" Then I slowly came too enough that I was aware of my external self and then fell asleep.
just had my second treatment both pure hell....supposed to have 6 total and I am not sure i can get thru another one. I am seeing improvement in myself depression suicidal thoughts anger BUT the treatments are so terrifying and agonizing...I feel like i dont exist theres this blank nothingness and i will always be there my self never existed. nothing is real its truly aweful. felt like i could barely breath and the nausea after goes on for days...headaches
I have had ketamine in pill form. My first three were at 150mg. My last one was at 250mg. I loved all my experiences.
I’m having my first infusion next week for my PTSD. Nervous but hopeful.
It’s been a year since your comment. How did it go
@@MrsFearEstate it was interesting. After 6 infusions I noticed a decrease in my level of hypervigilance. I did 14 hours of EMDR therapy at the beginning of this year and that helped immensely as well. I’m currently in my last 6 weeks of training to be a Clinical Hypnotherapist and that journey has been quite healing.
I had a very bad Ketamine experience. I started having a panic attack, foaming at the mouth and had trouble breathing. My body was almost totally paralyzed. I could barely speak and begged them to stop. It took several hours after for me to be able to gain enough control of my body to walk and felt it affecting my body until the next day. My Ketamine experience traumatized me and further degraded my trust in medical professionals.
Finally found the way to describe how I felt after taking too much ket I could vaguely see myself whilst standing in fear and confusion looking at the toilet. Was absolutely petrified can’t even describe how I felt tbh, hope no one feels what I felt be careful with ketamine
Are you talking about using ketamine as a street drug or receiving an IV treatment????

i was put into a medically induced k-hole for emergency surgery.. i experienced full separation of mind and body.. my consciousness slipt into a black void almost like space. my body no longer existed just thoughts in a void.. having no idea what these types of experiences are i assumed it was death
Holy shit I had this experience on LSD. It was not fun. Never touched it again. The black void feeling like you don’t exist.
yeah hopefully the doctor explained to you that might happen. After reading a bunch of youtube comments tonight, I'm starting to think there are some really irresponsible or dick headed anesthesiologists out there.
First time I “died” was the most existentially terrifying moment I’ve ever experienced. In this life at least
Dude I knowwww!! I was like so is my awareness going to shut off now or am I going to be stuck here forever. Terrible terrible nightmare. I was a galactic cloud of swirling fragmented textures that went on forever. Part of me might still be stuck out there....
You said first time I "died" was terrifying which means must have done it again. What happened at later trips?
@@director2bob died many more times, but always resurrected
So if it was terrifying that usually means it was not so good and a warning. But then some people like horror movies I guess because they feel real during the experience and love to walk away from it as if it were a bad dream.
I’ve had two by the way.
thank u for sharing this. i have had 2 treatments each horrificly scary. i thought i was dead nothing existed i was never coming back to life. nothing pleasant or euphoric about either treatment at all. BUT i went in having trauma loops suicidal angry depressed....supposed to have 6 but cant imagine how i can possible get thru even one more treatment.@@jamesbond8540
Hmmm! Near Death Experience. My understanding is that it was designed as a muscle relaxant for surgery so that muscles would not writhe about during surgery. Fascinating.
Thank you. I think I’ve experienced several of those experiences you talked about.
Hello Dr. Ko, I've been watching your videos. I really like your style and joy that you bring to the information. Thank you.
You are very 🙏🏽 welcome
Recently got my ACL surgery, at first I thought the ketamine effects will be like general anesthesia but turn out to be it is much more phenomenal. I'd say point 2 & 3 described my feelings during in operation theater. Would love to experience it again.
Great and helpful information btw 🙏
Thank you for watching!
I remember being in a car accident and being given ketamine for anesthesia.
That feeling that you’re dying… very real and kinda scary. But at the same time I experienced alien like life forms surrounding me while I was laying in hospital bed. Then I felt like I was flying through different dimensions - through these big doorways that looked very much like drop box slits in a slot machine.
Weirdest experience ever.
Ketamine is SO f’n alien drug I used recreationally twice snorting a big rail and was so bizarre. My friend was like 30 foot tall super weird I couldn’t tell if I had to crap or use bathroom or what was going on. Total mess. Using the infusions is far different I had 4 in the last two weeks. I cried and had blissful moments and beyond terrifying ones too. Ketamine therapy is fucking hard believe me! It doesn’t mean it isn’t good but man you have to buckle up and be ready because it’s going to kick you ass
I spent 5 days inpatient at Stanford University Hospital for ketamine infusion and I never experienced those frightening experiences as described here. I had the best experience that was in a controlled environment and safe. I was in a private room and it was very peaceful, not those creepy feelings described here. Too bad we moved to the east coast and no one does that here. I was treated for severe pain caused by an incompetent doc and the slow release ketamine treatments at Stanford made my life bearable again.
Excellent detailed, but concise descriptions!!

I've done ketamin about 5 times in the last year, and the last 4 tines have been while taking LSD. I'm not really sure what I'm allowed to say. I dont really want to get into legal trouble, but all I'll say is it always gives you the last one you described and it seems to make it a lot more.... interdimentional. It kind of feels like there many different dimensions and each ones on a different frequency, and we run on the same frequency as our dimension and thats why we see it. And it almost feels like ketamin allows us to raise or lower our frequency, and we can see a another dimension when we stabilise our frequency to be the same as it. Sounds crazy I know, but thats the best way i can describe it.
@Kairo_hendrix haha
Nope… none of these describe my experience at 2.1 mg/kg. I actually was still aware of myself and had to keep reassuring myself I was ok as I was getting sucked through my gray brain matter. I than could feel my dissolving self becoming covered with dirt …
BUT being a control freak in a way to protect myself and my well being … letting go to this terrible experience, that should be painfully terrifying … becomes somewhat enjoyable because I’m no longer scared to die. But I never completely disassociate and my conscious and subconscious self work as a team to keep me where I need to be… I set my intentions to not fight wherever the mind takes me.
But the one disappointing factor is I remember the entire experience and it’s pretty dark and not hugely insightful… I mean dark as not colorful… I’m like a worm finding my way out of a deep hole. The deep hole is my brain that holds my consciousness.
So far, total of 9 treatments, I am back to my baseline depression… but I was pulled out of the worst depression I have ever had in my life, so these K infusions saved me.
Now I am just waiting to find out how far these K infusions can take this little worm…
i have had the out of body one, the near death one, and the ego dissolving transcendental experience, which was utterly amazing.
what does did you take? did you snort the K or go to a clinic?
@@director2bob
intranasal, snort, because where i am ,even though it's been approved by the eda (european fda) , they're slow as shit to get it here, so i'm not waiting. it works, and decades of ssri's have not, so i self-treat.
How was your experience with ketamine.. was it helpful.. has it any side effects.. plz let me know.. I am suffering from depression for four years
When I broke my leg they put me on ketamine, and it was very discomforting but I also felt safe in a way. My whole body was this one thing that was bending and flowing in all directions very fast, I could also hear what was going on around me, but I felt super disconnected in my own world where I was just constantly moving and bending. I had a really weird experience
I had what I would describe as a ADE "actual death experience "(obviously it was an experience), I was pushing the boundaries of ketamine, intranasally, got up to 150-200mg, when I had started experiencing repeated time loops, where I would be trying to get off the couch with friends. I would say goodbye, shake hands, give hugs and then it would loop back and I would start again dozens of times (ground hog day type, but minutes not days), but each time slightly differently, even the television was looping back to the beginning. I started to have the strangest paradoxical puzzle conversation with some form of genius in my head, who kept check mating any attempt to rationalise the situation. The conclusion it give me was I was god creating the reality, there was no time, no space or any other conscious beings in the universe. You can imagine the fear at this point but then my vision went, but I was still playing out the time loops, but just feeling the sensations of touching hands, hugging, petting the dog…etc….it was like all known fundamentals of science did not exist, I was rapidly crashing, things speeding up exponentially, then bang, black screen, with a line of computer code. I thought I died, I then woke up and was lying on the couch with friends around me, I thought I was in heaven, and that my life had been a game of some sort, I kissed my friends and thought they were gods & goddesses. To this day 10th April is the date I died and was reborn, Ive taken large dosages of DMT 5-MEO DMT, LSD, Ayahuasca….but nothing even comes close to this experience. Synchronicities days and weeks after where abundant and strong, its nearly 4 weeks since that day and I am still feeling the aftershocks, terrifyingly beautiful, life changing to say the least….its put my off psychedelics experiments for life.
Wonderful explanation! Thank you
Thank you Dr. Mills:)
This is amazing information ❤
The unity consciousness is amazing..I experienced 5his on new years night..im sure others were out in the astral world searching for the same...celebrating in the ocean of data and info, maybe even stumbling into akashik records!
very well explained. I am debating doing these infusions to help with Suboxone withdrawal and depression.
my first dose was in a doctors examination room on the bed they have and I had to move out of the bed then on a chair then go to the nurse station to check bp and I was extremely uncomfortable because there was no silence or time to sit down and take it all in it distrupted my entire experience and I spoke to the doctor about this and he was completely upset that they didnt take me to the appropriate room with recliner chairs and curtains and low lights etc. today is my second treatment and they promised me to do it in that room
How was your next ones?
How was your experience with ketamine.. was it helpful.. has it any side effects.. plz let me know.. I am suffering from depression for four years
heyy bestie!! great video!! love it!!
I get a mix, often hit the void and feel reborn.
I had it the other day with my broken arm and dislocated shoulder.I had all 4 types and more.Going back in time to when i was younger.I felt the staff moving me round in slow motion.Then i went into a rubicks cube an twisted back to the future with chunks of my life.I must of entered the K-hole,but also tripped into heaven for a bit.The craziest experience ever.Stronger than acid and magic mushrooms from the 90's.I had to fight to come back to reality in hospital.....The matrix is true is the first thing i said to the nurse,,haha.
Funny thing is I have a broken shoulder and torn rotator cuff and may need surgery soon. Just out of curiosity, what does did you take and how was it administered?
@@director2bob Firstly they gave me the max amount of morphine but because i'm on a drug called suboxone which blocks opium because of past addictions it wasn't working,so it was option 2.They inject k,i don't know how much.It's best to research it anyway.Try and be positive because i was worried about my new computer that had fell down the stairs with me(it was alright in the end)but i didn't
know about the k hole,that was horrible at first,but you just ride it out and it gets better!!!!🙂
@@apples3213 that’s crazy bro. I know all about Suboxone because I fell off a stage and broke 17 bones (15 ribs, clavicle & skull) so you can only imagine the fucking pain I dealt with and insane amount of opioids I was prescribed. 120 mg OxyContin daily and fentanyl patch. I detoxed off opioids with subs and I was always worried about getting injured during that time. So the fact they shot you up with K at hospital and you tripped balls in a deep K hole is fucking dope crazy story. Almost want to laugh but know it’s not funny especially when you were unprepared for such a deep out of body experience. That’s crazy. Did the Drs even warn you? They always say setting, intention, feeling healthy etc helps for a pleasant trip. You were injured in hospital so yeah of course you were not ready or prepared so it must have been terrifying. First time I smoked DMT I though I had OD and that was the end which terrifying at first. So I get it, I have a friend who will only use K and when he does snorts .2 g and tells me it’s just as deep and out of body as DMT. He purposely puts himself into the deepest K hole possible and says once you let go it’s the most amazing psychedelic trip he has ever experienced. Anyway thanks for sharing your story. It’s still so rad you were in hospital and Dr shot you up which is a great story. I am certain you felt no pain at the time. Stay well my friend. 🤟
What are the effects of ketamine on fibromyalgia and when do you think ot will be widely used as a treatment for it
Hi Dr. Ko,
I will be receiving those soon. I am a 150 pound male, and i wanted to know what do you consider would be a good dose in a context where ketamine infusion is used for chronic pain
The doses are variable and will depend upon each patient. This question would be perfect for your ketamine doctor who will be giving you the infusion soon! Best wishes!
How was your experience with ketamine.. was it helpful.. has it any side effects.. plz let me know.. I am suffering from depression for four years
Ok...
I have a TBI from motorcycle accident. Have been offered the chance to heal my broken head. I understand completely about psychedelics. Have used psybicilin mushrooms in the past with great success. If ketamine will allow me to heal myself or start the process.
Now... can I have a therapist with me during the treatment?? Will I be able to process the issues? I'm on board with whatever works. Cause the pills have almost killed me. Thanks Richard Michael
. There is no price to peace of mind. Im a vet with PTSD, Depression and suicidal ideations and this has begun to change my life. There are a lot of centers and its important you do your research. Find one that is quiet, accessible and has someone reputable.
Question?? It there a way to control the experience by taking over your muscles and nevs in the body to help heal the areas that need healing??
Ineffable is a great way to describe it!
Hi Dr thanks for these videos! So helpful! Question please: is it normal for iv ket to raise serum LDH levels? Thank you!!
Can you have a panic attack during this disassociation? Because I would freak out, honestly. I have an extremely strong self-preservation instinct
Yes, I felt some of that. Kept trying to stay conscious
Very much so but they can give you versed to help relieve anxiety if need be. My brain fights the effects of dissociation every time.
@@mandytuttle3051 what is versed? I am a control freak with high anxiety. I am terrified to do the treatment like I will lose control and have a panic attack. I want the positive experiences I've heard people share about. I want it to help my depression and anxiety.
@@sandyskrit versed is a anxiety medication . You will be fine
I’ve had 3 infusions so far and each has been different. My first time, I was extremely aware. My body felt numb. I couldn’t get over the fact that I was high, and I knew it. I was afraid to close my eyes because I thought I would die so I kept them open the entire time and stared at the northern lights/waves projected on the ceiling. It was just bizarre.
My second infusion was incredible! I knew where I was in reality, but there was a point where I had to move my body to check if I was dead. I felt so much peace. I saw darkness, but there was an essence as though I was in outer space looking upon the universe. I knew that God loves me and He loves all His children, and nothing else matters. I knew that everything was going to be ok because of that. I also saw darkness with shapes of dark colors of light coming at me, kinda like a cartoon time traveling tunnel. One was heart shaped.
My third was nice, but kinda unremarkable and not profound like my second one, as I had hoped.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I had the last one the other day. Very...weird. It’s almost like you’re being undertaken by waves in the ocean.
How have you been since? Has your depression improved? Has your life improved?
How often do you think one should have the infusions and how should they be spaced out when startingp? the place im going to only works tuesdays and thursdays and idk if its good two do them that close together and then wait 5 days for my next one
We have a blog post on this topic here: www.resetketamine.com/blog/2xaweekor3xaweek
Why does no one ever share if it helped on long term say after a year without taking any more and did depression go how about side effects? Not experiencebut RESULTS long term and health interest me
I had telepathic abilities with a friend of mine. And an outer body experience.
What do you think about the ketamine rapid dissolving tablets?
Can you make a prescription for me?
Do you have to be referred? Does standard UHC insurance cover it?
1) No, but we do get all the medical records from your doctors. 2) Check out our article here regarding insurance: www.resetketamine.com/blog/insurance-coverage-for-ketamine
I want to get treatment, either this or mushrooms, DMT, whatever. I have depression, anxiety and really bad emotional issues since childhood that I can't shake off, such as my mother being so cruel as to tell me I'm going to hell if I don't immediately ask for Jesus to forgive me for every thing I do wrong before I die. This has caused me to fear God more than love God and no matter what anyone says, I don't think I've lived one day of my life without thinking about death. It has gotten to the point that I'm spiritually confused, spiritually anxious and miserable. I'm afraid that if ketamine and others are just a brain interaction where your mind is creating the experience, that I might create a hall of horrors that leaves me worse off than before. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Edit for a typo
@The Maestro.. personally, as in life, acceptance is key, often. Go with the flow... push anxiety and fear away. No one will intrude on your Conscienceness. If Spirituality is a focal point for you, profound awareness just might open a new door. Try it. GL
That's the destructive power of traditional religion. Many people live with this. Atheist here
It was beautiful! Felt amazing!
So what happens if someone starts having a panic attack, etc. What measures are taken to calm them down? Im asking because im very interested in trying this but the near death aspect is a little too close to home due to past traumatic experience ive had and gives me anxiety just thinking about putting myself in a situation where i may possibly experience something Similar again. What would be the steps to deescalate that situation, if that were to happen during the treatment process?
There is nothing that can be done in the external environment as it's a very inward experience. It literally takes you to another realm. I would not recommend it if you have anxiety. It could potentially be traumatic for you.
Anxiety and PTSD slipped away for this control freak. I set intentions and meditate as treatment begins and beforehand. It has GREATLY dissolved my anxiety. Disassociation is very protective. Positivity when beginning each experience. Best of luck
Did u guys try joyous
Hmmm....you mentioned dosage. I had mostly horrible experiences, 2 complete open oneness with everything , and then several being reborn to relive the same life over and over again with the same mother. This was terrifying.
**** I asked the doctor to lighten up on the dosage. He told me several times that isn't an option. The dosage is a set dosage. So he added prpofol to knock me out so I didn't have a bad experience.
That wore off before the Ketamine. So I k-holed anyway.
So now I'm feeling like he lied. Why...money? I'd still be going for maintenance infusions if he would have lowered the dosage. I have been taking Spravato for over a year and I think it is helping somewhat.
Why would they give you propofol? That'd just defeat the whole purpose of the infusion, not being able to remember anything.
Is ketamine anything like ayahuasca's intensity? Because all my aya trips except one have been horrifying for me and didn't really help me in the long run.
Ayahuasca works on the serotonin neurotransmitter whereas ketamine works on glutamate. Accordingly will likely be different 💫
I had k twice while hauing a severe astma attacks the first time it was great i couldnt breathe was near death once given k it calmed me right down second time it was to severe of an asthma attack that i was given such a high dose of k that it put me straight to sleep i was woken up 6 days later to find out i had been intubated
Is it possible to be paranoid and think everyone is against u
How is the dosage determined? And who qualifies?
Dose is based upon body weight and good candidates are determined by a doctor!
I've had two sessions with the Troche/lozenges, not an IV. With my long term therapist in the room. Is the experience different if you aren't on an IV, and also depending on what the treatment is for? I am being treated for complex PTSD. In my first session, I relived memories at a few points in my life. The next day, I had an epiphany about the connections between them. In my second session, I saw again memories replayed, but they were of two people who had passed away many years ago. I had a similar epiphany about a day later. In both, I felt like I was dreaming but also awake. In both sessions, I also cried a lot which my therapist and I both recognized as releasing trauma trapped in my body. Just wondering if this type of experience is common too.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Each person’s experience is unique and can vary between treatments too. It is important to discuss this with your ketamine specialist/therapist to properly integrate your experience. Best wishes.
I had 6 infusions I'm a complicated person, first 3 great went back in time , relived great times with very detailed quality , I cried during one but it was about my mom's death I never really cried when she passed 11 yrs ago so it was a crying balling session 4th became scary I asked to stop 5th ok 6th panic attack again had to come out , so I'm a very anxious person so I'm not surprised that it didnt end well I dont think I will have another , I got real problems my exwife has turned my son against me so ketamine is not going to cure that I love him way too much it's just awful! I hate the bitch so much it consumes me!
Glad you were able to have some powerful initial infusions! It sounds like the last few were challenging though. Ketamine is definitely not for everyone.
I’m so sorry I hope you make progress with your son. Shame on your ex wife.
i find it helpful to take low dose benzo before doing the K if im in a period of my life where im having bad anxiety, but it does lower the psychedelic experience a little bit
What is your opinion of the lozenges, do you prescribe them in your practice?
Is this not used for pain with being addictive ? Or more of a high sounds like acid or shrooms?
ex abuser here who went through the hassle to always end up in "k-hole", i had been using it for a year straight and i can confirm everything
I didn’t have any of these experiences I can’t even describe what I saw and felt.
Is music recommended when having a ketamine treatment?
Thank you for your question! We have a blog written on that topic here www.resetketamine.com/blog/2019/4/14/does-music-impact-the-ketamine-experience or check out our video on this topic ua-cam.com/video/6ADcyeFHwxo/v-deo.html
Should I use eye cover / try to not open my eyes?
We recommend for our patients to wear an eye cover during the IV ketamine treatment at the clinic.
What is the dose one must be Administired, there is a clinic in india bangalore, so just want to make sure they give the right amount,
Also heard in some people it causes depression Or anxiety is it true??
Is there fear or panic? I habe diabetic neuropathy could it help me? What causes these experiences? Scientificly I mean
How many mg iv would u need to get the obe or nde? Obviously, 50 mg isn't enuf(felt like high 1st or low 2nd plateau of dxm), which I did with the first treatment.
It's variable, Eric.
What would happen if one has a bad experience or trip while on their infusion? I would like to try this therapy as I am tired of my depression and anxiety medication and the fact that nothing feels like it is helping me. I am scared to try this so that is the reason I ask.
Thank you for your question. You might want to check out our blog written on this topic here www.resetketamine.com/blog/2019/3/11/how-to-handle-bad-experiences-with-ketamine . It’s important to speak with the ketamine specialist/clinic on how they approach handling difficult experiences during the treatment. Integration of the experience and talking with someone such as an integration specialist or therapist can assist in supporting you if challenging experiences do arise. Best wishes.
Hi Doc, since you said leave a comment. Drugs scare me , because I do not know much about drugs. I have seen many people who are crazy through all and drugs. I know we need drugs, medicinal only, my opinion. But, I had an experience over 22 years ago, for about 10 or 12 days, where I was so happy and full of joy, non stop. Hard to explain, it was similar in being in love, only much better. What was it? It was the Lord, He filled me with so much joy, I cannot explain it, it has to happen to you. Long story. Just thought I let you know.
I had my 5th weekly injection into the muscle of ket today. I merged with God and came back, all in a one hour session. Greatest experience of my life.
I move and flow like water, around and around, up and down and in and out, push and pull. Every session in my mind my feet always end up above my head and Im floating in a vast void of space and stars upside down (so peaceful) , but then there are periods of no movement when things are so incredible still (never experienced stillness like that before and its almost uncomfortable) and I'm stuck In my mind/ not my body as I don't have a body in those still moments. Music Im listening too in those moments become harder to hear. But then I always resume movement. Some sessions My feet go above my head many times and some sessions only once. But also during every session somewhere maybe in the middle I do feel my body and am aware of it and Im cold like metal and in my mind I'm bundled up like an eskimo. I don't mind being cold, its not uncomfortable but almost spiritual energy. I also listen to worship music and feel a connection to God. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting a "God" infusion" I wish I could stay there all the time. (at the start of the ketamine at the lower doses) my mind would get stuck on a neg idea and I ruminate but once the song changes so does the thought and then I dont even remember what I was thinking about. At session 12 I don't ruminate. After session 4, I cried uncontrollably and didn't know I was crying because I couldn't feel my tears (only that the nurse was wiping them away) that was the first session I stopped watching tv, put on an eye mask and played my worship music. I havent cried like that since. At two sessions I invented a product during my treatment...not on purpose. I might pursue my invention idea lol.
Sounds really good.
And then there's the experience of feeling a little woozy (like being drunk) and going half-conscious. That was my first infusion, my next is in a couple days.
Could this minimal experience be due to too much or too little ketamine? Or is it just one of the many normal ways people can react?
I accidentally had a candy bar that had THC in it. I don’t do drugs and never have. I ended up passing out but not all the way.. I HATED THIS! I couldn’t control my thoughts and they were racing doing circles.. Does Ketamine do this? If so I’m not sure I could do it..
I am trying the Mindbloom ketamine and I haven’t felt anything yet but I am only at 400 mg sublingual tablets I wish I felt and did the in infusions
Is it possible to go throught this kind of therapy being a foreigner? I'm from Brazil.
Thanks for your question. Regardless if you live nearby a ketamine clinic in the states or if you are a foreigner living in Brazil, you’ll need to have a consultation with a ketamine specialist to see if you are a candidate for ketamine therapy. The consultation will determine if you’ll be able to receive this treatment.
I just want to find a legit music playlist specifically for ketamine infusions.... I heard some good tracks out there but they’re played out. I’ve been doing these infusions for almost 3 years, so I need some change in beats here....wish someone out there knows of someone that can make some dope ass k- infusion music that can really enhance the treatment
Efdemin - Decay is an amazing album that literally starts with the line “my body will not listen to me”
Experimented in college in early adulthood with different mind, altering and mood altering chemicals, and I tried ketamine maybe three times. A friend of a friend who I was visiting on Miami Beach over New Year’s, cooked up some K in his microwave, chopped it up and offered me some. I think we had some right before we left, and then he offered me some in the car on the way,. we were coming from Coconut Grove. By the time we got to Washington Street in Miami Beach, it was starting to hit hard as we were walking into the club and once we walked in I was not functioning. I couldn’t talk. I needed to be led around, friends would come up to me and I was in a very obviously intoxicated space. Let’s just say I was acting the fool. It did wear off relatively quickly. But I would never mix it with alcohol. I believe you can get violently ill.
I would never be able to handle total loss of control of my mind well in the least.
Does ones depression go away with this renewed view of life and the world? If so how long is that trustworthy?
It really does helped me pull through
Bought mine from an online store

On ig
My doc wants me to try this and I’m scared as shit.
