My brother told me I needed to get it. I have severe PTSD from severe TBI and a horrendous personal injury lawsuit. And due to the HIPAA law I wasn’t told what was wrong with my ex that I dated for only 9 months prior. I’m going to try it by a doctor at Harvard becuz I refuse to take PTSD medication. The less medication per day is the way I think is best. My grandfather was a pharmacist.

I got my first infusion and on the same day it seemed to help a little with anxiety etc. but the next day I suddenly got extreme dpdr/dissociation(which I already suffer with)and anxiety. It’s now 3 days later and haven’t gotten better.. I don’t know what to do when I’m suffering severely 24:7 and don’t want to take anti-depressants. I hoped this would help but it made it worse and don’t know if I should take round 2??

Not a great idea to suggest to people to do it at home and unsupervised. Ketamine is a serious drug with risks.
