Hi Jennijojo,

Hard to know which med you reacted and responded to. I do well on the ketamine with versed. They put a little zofran in for nausea which is my biggest side effect. I tend to be urpy, never outgrew motion sickness, etc.

So far I just get swirly colors behind my eyes. I keep them closed because the blurry double vision many get during the infusion is not to my liking. I listen to peaceful music and just chill out. Same day I take a nice long nap and dont drive till the following morning. No afteraffects to date. I am little and not real tolerant of meds but it hasn't been difficult.

My dose was built up from 0.5 mg per kg to 0.75, next time we go to 1mg, the max dose he gives. I go every two weeks for 4 more sessions, then have boosters. If I dont like the higher dose I will go back down because I get benefit at the mid level. My next infusion is this Friday, my schdule got delayed since they are booked. I will post an update to my ketamine thread a few days after.

Keep in mind effects are cumulative and not earth shattering for most people. It takes a while to build. If you go for it try more than one before making a judgement.

So glad you got some relief!
