I recently underwent a procedure where Ketalar (Ketamine) was used for anesthesia. As someone with a history of mental health issues, I've been reading up on Ketamine to understand its potential effects beyond anesthesia. I was surprised to see the list of possible side effects, especially the serious ones. I'm trying to determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks, especially considering its use in treating certain mental health conditions. Did anyone else have experiences with Ketalar, either for anesthesia or mental health treatment? Were the side effects manageable, or were they severe?

I recently underwent a medical procedure that required the use of Ketamine 100mg/ml Inj, 5ml. As a powerful anesthetic, it gave me a unique feeling of being disconnected from my body and pain, making the procedure much more manageable. The infusion was closely monitored, and while I experienced some side effects like drowsiness and a bit of nausea, it was worth it so I wasn't in pain. I've seen posts about people using low doses for mental health conditions, so I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or know more about its benefits beyond anesthesia. I also want to warn people about some of the risks I read about, including serious side effects like hallucinations and changes in behavior. Has anyone else encountered these issues? What was your personal experience? All input is welcome!
