Anecdotally Ketamine made my medical trauma far worse than it could have been.

I don't like it when people float ketamine around without the "CAREFUL GUIDENCE OF A PHYSICIAN" because Ketamine can and will have a different response depending on the medication you take and how your genetic metabolism handles it.

For example:

I remembered them cutting into me, then an OBE watching them insert the chest tube, feeling the whole damn thing and seeing mice people.

I had been taking Prozac, a CY2B6 inhibitor. I had normal activity on that. However, I had reduced activity on 3A4, meaning, over all, I wasn't going to process the ketamine the same.

Basically it just made everything into a horror film for me.

So, yeah. Doctor.
