I will have a pair of headphones and my phone that has a few playlists to help as well. I do not know if a PA keeps an eye on me, or a nurse while the Ketamine is administered, but the PM will check up on me briefly at least once every day. My biggest concern is having an IV started every day for 5 days straight.

Anybody that has had an outpatient Ketamine infusion, do you have any advice to give, any questions I should ask, or anything that I should be aware of before going in? I would like to hear the experience of anyone else that has gone through this as well. Even if I know your story, new and old members come and go on this site often, your posts may have been missed by someone else that may be interested in it.
