Hi Jenna
Yes I was on ketamine infusions....ketamine and lignucaine together. I was brought to the Pain Clinic and an IV was put into my arm. They then infused me with ketamine and Lignucaine it took over an hour to go in. It made me quite drowsy and I slept while it was infusing. Then I went home, my husband had to drive me as I couldnt drive afterwards. It made me feel quite queasy but I didnt get any relief from it at all. I had that done once a month for a few months but on the final one they upped the dose and I was hallucinating. OMG it was awful. I felt my throat was the size of a pin head and that I was choking, that I couldnt even breathe and everything seemed huge. But obviously it was all in my head. It was an awful sensation. So I refused to have any more. Thats the only way I was on Ketamine Jenna.....its used for horses too |

I believe that med was used on me for an epidural in my cervical spine. It is on my records. It worked for me for a short period of time, and I didnt' have an side effects from it. No injection site problem eithor. ginnie

I used it recreationally once .. A real disasociate drug .. If the doc offered it me now I'd run a mile! Well, perhaps not run ...
