Doctor Reacts to Reality TV Ketamine Injection

[@TimTalley6388]

As someone who has suffered with mental illness and depression the majority of my adult life. I just tried KETAMINE for the first time, I felt as if I was in the center of the universe. It was an awesome experience

[@LouisPetek]

I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.

I'm a long term Ketamine Infusion patient for central nervous system and nerve damage. It is a life saver for me. I highly recommend them. In Australia the protocol is a lot different. I have 7 day inpatient Ketamine Infusions and magnesium Infusions. Every 4 months 6 years. Had few PICC direct but too much scar tissue. Now I have Subcutaneous more gentle on liver. Before I was bed ridden unable to be vertical, seizures. Now I can drive part time and travel. I probably wouldn't be here without them.

[@RobG1729]

I've had in-patient five-day IV ketamine infusions for peripheral neuropathy, and it's been so effective, much better at reducing the pain than the out-patient IV lidocaine infusions the previous seven years.

[@Tom-lh3cj]

I found them hit and miss they give me a psychological rest. I am the opposite I found sub cut not to be so as effective

[@Tom-lh3cj]

Can I ask if you take anything on a day to day basis

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

@@Tom-lh3cj yes I take 150mg Palexia SR x2, Norflex 100mg x2, Propranolol 40mg x4 not for high blood pressure but for slowing the nerve impulses, migraines, vertigo. I do not have normal nerve damage. I have 11 spinal levels damaged. L4 to S1 fusion and Laminectomy. I have a condition called Adhesive arachnoiditis which is scar tissue within a membrane of the spinal cord and brain. My nervous system and lymphatic system is damaged. It has many different pains and disturbances that need regular Ketamine Infusions and magnesium to cross the blood brain barrier. Without Ketamine, oral medication is useless and they cannot control it. In Australia our protocol is completely different to overseas. We Don't get a Infusion for a hour or couple hours. I am hooked up non stop for 7 days straight.

[@RobG1729]

I take gabapentin, 300mg three times a day. That is my only prescription medication ... so far. I take vitamins and supplements including magnesium for muscle tension and bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple, for inflammation.

Hi Dr. Kaveh 😌 I won't go into details but I've been having a really difficult time in my life for the past few years and a moment ago I thought to myself, "what can I do to help my mood right now, and this moment?" And you popped up in my thoughts and so I figured I'd watch a few of your videos that I've saved in my "boost my depressed mood" KZbin folder... and I've actually landed a live video! Awesome! In all seriousness, thank you for providing such insightful information but most importantly, thank you for being a truly compassionate, caring, and empathetic Dr and overall person. I know you make a difference and mini lives, in and out of the operating room. Here's to a great 2024 🎉!

[@leonerose1715]

Doc do you do a "talking session" prior or during the infusion? I am struggling to find any information on how simply going in having 4-6 infusions and poof depression chronic is healed. How without addressing the core issues prior or during, does the brain know which needs help editing? Not exactly sure how to ask the question, hoping you understand what I'm getting at. So grateful for learning. ❤

Could you offer advice on how to begin a new ketamine conversation with your provider? Either psychiatric or other specialty? I've had the conversation with my provider in the past but they've been a bit dismisses and I respect and have a good relationship with all of my providers and would like toreassess and approach the conversation again because I do think it would be beneficial to my health and healing.

I only weigh 120 pounds but I have the fastest metabolism in the world because of my ultrarapid metabolizer gene. There’s no one else like me. If there was just some way to turn off the CY1A2 gene then I’d would do it! Pain management is awe full after surgery because the meds wear off too quickly and then I just start gripping about wanting to just go home and deal with the pain there. It’s so damn frustrating! I got hit by a car and had compartment syndrome so my leg was almost amputated. I had a lot of surgeries but I have never done the harder drugs unless it was in a hospital.

[@bellelacroix5938]

Bummer

[@heatherkaye8653]

I just recently had ankle surgery and they sent me home with a drip of local anesthesia that was fed directly into the lower portion of my sciatic nerve. My leg was fuzzy and numb for a few days. It's called an ON-Q pain pump. I wonder if something like that would give you more relief. I couldn't imagine not having it! I too am a fast metabolizer of drugs and have woken up mid surgery before.

[@brooksequine7621]

I had a Keta ine treatment against intractable pain prior to my spinal surgery . I experienced nothing except later , a Tramadol worked just a little bit . The big fix was a huge spinal surgery .

[@StellaArtnoir]

I fell last year, broke myself & had emergency surgery. The anesthesiologist used ketamine and, allegedly, I hallucinated x 3 days. I say allegedly because the main character of my supposed hallucinations was the voice of my covert familial abuser screaming my name. I wondered if they had fallen too and by some freak twist of fate, also ended up in the hospital across the hall from my room. (Hey, crazier things have happened, esp where this person is concerned.) I inquired as to why she was there and what had happened but she would not give consent for her information. This tracks. Because of this covertly abusive, serial gaslighter, I am a grown adult who cannot trust my own thoughts or feelings. My nurse at the time, as well as the head nurse, days later, both swore she wasn't there, although my nurse seemed to acknowledge my suspicion by denying her presence with a "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" twinkle in his eye & tone of his voice. It was a Twilight Zone kind of experience. I know medical staff can't legally disclose info but can they lie to (and blatantly gaslight) one patient just to protect another patient's privacy? Surely not. This was too real, too vivid, & so specific. It was a mind bending experience that I never want to repeat. I'm still trying to piece my brain back together. There's so much more to it but to be safe, I'm adding "no ketamine" to my medical alert bracelet. No ketamine, no gaslighting & NO pathological narcissists.

How can ketamine infusions help with chronic back pain from degenerative spinal disease? I’ve been getting epidural steroid shots but they aren’t really helping plus I have fibromyalgia & neuropathy that I have been taking gabapentin, duloxetine, pregabalin & diclofenac sodium for several years but still live with chronic pain!! I’m so desperate to find something so I can get my life back!!

[@JupiterJane1984]

Well I live in Maine and have suffered😢from PTSD & anxiety from a terrible childhood of sexual and neutral abuse, and I can te😢you up up here they would NEVER consider this natural type of therapy! Instead I'm stuck with a therapist and a psychiatrist who prescribes clonazepam, Gabapentin, antidepressants ((which I refuse to take) as I've repeatedly told my doctor I'm not depressed, I have severe anxiety! Aside from that, I spent a year trying every antidepressant imaginable and had horrible side effects! So my question is what can you suggest for me to find a program like thus? P.S. I have had experience with LSD and ketamine in my younger years and can honestly say it was the happiest care free emotional times I ever experienced. And this was during difficult times I mentioned above!

[@janetsmith4384]

I’m about to go into my 15th year of PHN. I’m 73 now and my body is so tired. I also have major anxiety disorder and PTSD. I have researched and looked into the ketamine infusions and had talked myself into giving it a try but my son is totally against it. He thinks it’s way too strong for me and is not on board. AND insurance covers nothing of course. Do you have any advice for me at this point. The shingles began on my backside and then proceeded between my legs and down one thigh. It’s been a horrible time and so many people don’t understand or actually believe the pain is as bad as it is. I’ve had 4 steroid injections but none worked. Thank you for reading this!

[@bethmccormack5172]

I think it's awesome that you're able to bring so much relief to so many people. I know a few people who could really use this type of help. You must be really balanced to help people go through this like you do. The profound sadness she was feeling would rip me to shreds mentally I think.

[@rekt1109]

Is ketamin therapy safe for someone with a mental illness such as bipolar? It's probably been covered in previous videos so I will have to view those🙂

[@heatherkaye8653]

Sirry so long, but its good stuff! It is helpful, but with some limits. I suggest you to look up this pub med article: "Ketamine for Bipolar Depression: Biochemical, Psychotherapeutic, and Psychedelic Approaches" It explains many benefits and limits to ketamine therapy for bipolar with reference to some interesting case studies. The conclusion at the bottom isn't too filled with much science jargon either so it's fairly easy to understand. The most notable takeaways for me were if you have addiction issues it's harder to find a doc who will want to do this treatment. Bipolar has many commonalities with Complex PTSD which ketamine has been shown to be a very effective treatment. And finally ketamine won't permanently "cure" bipolar brains, but treatments will need to be repeated to maintain that steady brain. Now my personal experience of my recent ketamine experience: ketamine's effect lasted just about 2 months before the um "moodiness" came back. It has been 3 months now, I'm short tempered, but feel more 'even'... life's really hard right now and I've not had any thoughts of how much easier it might be if I were just unalived. So I guess it's still helping.

[@lindadove8298]

Do you think people have medical PTSD this would be good for them or if they were raped would it be good? Every time I have had it, it was trauma-related in the hospital and that is what they gave me. The doctors stated I was extremely upset and my heart and BP would start to go crazy and would try to grab people. I was horrified because I couldn't speak and I felt I was being hurt I was forced to stay at the hospital and no one was helping me. That is why I am scared of taking Ketamine.

[@vickiwaatti1076]

Does anyone ever "freaked" out while getting ketamine? Like they are having a bad trip? And what do you do after removing the IV.

[@Singlespeedjo]

I was extremely worried about this because I had a horrible trip on mushrooms a long time ago. It was absolutely nothing like that for me and even though I went to some dark difficult places, it was super powerful and really really really good. I never felt scared although I felt very vulnerable afterwards so it was important for me to have someone I trusted by my side afterwards. I have been doing the IM injections, I did the initial six and now I’m doing them every three weeks and my deep, depression and anxiety has started to lift for the first time in my life and I have tried everything. I feel like it’s a miracle. Of course I’m also doing the work with my therapist, which is so important. Also the place I go to starts you on a very low dose and they split it in half so they give you the first injection then come in 10 minutes later take your vital signs and if they are good, they give you the next part of the injection.from there, they could work with you to figure out the right dose. It has just worked well for me.

Hi Dr. Kaveh, I was wondering what is the difference between liquid anaesthesia and gas? How do they work? I was offered both options as I was told to get teeth out by orthodontist and, as I have needle fear, don’t want to be awake when they do it. Your videos are so great, thank you for making them! :)

[@siriushp0904]

The gas is probably laughing gas. You’re awake, but don’t really care. Like you could answer questions and hear the doctor, but it feels really distant. I did laughing gas for my wisdom tooth removal and I loved it. I always joke of laughing gas became available illicitly I may become and addict 😆 In all seriousness, the best way I can explain it that feeling coming out of a deep sleep? Like you hear what the question is, but your brain just isn’t computing very well. I remember I had to think about my toes and where they were on my body to be aware of them. It was a nice experience to be honest. They numb you like any other dental procedure so you don’t feel pain. Liquid anesthesia varies. You can be semi conscious with the same effects as the gas, it just takes a little longer to wear off so you can go home. I doubt they’ll fully sedate you in the traditional sense because it’s harder to protect your airway while they’re in your mouth, but same as the gas most likely. Sedated enough that you can protect your own airway, but whatever is going on around you is a non-issue in your brain. Like the lights are in but no one is home lol. Hope that helped a little?

I had my first experience with Ketamine last week. I was in the ER needing a cyst to be drained and I was having a lot of anxiety over it. They gave me a single shot of ketamine through an IV and used numbing cream on the cyst. The nurse talked to me about my dog to get my mind in a better headspace and stayed by my side while the doctor took care of my cyst. It was definitely a weird feeling. I just remember staring at the ceiling and still being anxious, but feeling completely out of it. I didn’t feel a thing when they sliced open my cyst. I don’t know if that was from the topical lidocaine or the ketamine or both. I gave both the dr and the nurse a huge hug when it was over as I was coming back to reality from it. I was so grateful to them for making it a painless experience, but at the same time, I didn’t enjoy the weird way the ketamine made me feel. It was better than feeling pain, though. Then I was told not to drive or go to work for 24 hours.

I’m in a very dark place and I went from living with anxiety and depression and my life was not ok but I wasn’t really suffering. Out of nowhere something happened at the beginning of this year and I am not the same person. Like a switch got flipped and everything just changed. I’m now thinking about my life being possibly near it’s conclusion. I suffer like you couldn’t even imagine and I can’t even articulate anymore. I’m set up to get ketamine from a clinic with an ER doctor which you seem to like but she does IM which you don’t seem to like and I’m already terrified. I couldn’t walk into your clinic because I am usually too afraid to go out except occasionally when i spontaneously seem to feel better which only happens from time to time. This doctor I am seeing seems to checks all the boxes you’ve said to look for in a doctor/clinic but I still am absolutely terrified because how do you really ever know for sure? I am all alone and have no support system. I’m so scared to go through this but I’m so bad right now I can’t imagine any other way out. I wish that I even knew a doctor like you but I don’t. Most of your videos are helpful but others make me even more scared. I feel like you’d know what to do to fix me even if the ketamine didn’t work as well as expected. I wish I could live in a world where one Ativan a day even helped me. I was on 4 1mg Xanax a day and when I suddenly got worse I, for the first time in my life, felt like I needed more and more. They now switched me to 10mg of diazepam 4x times a day (which is basically half the dose I was used to and I find diazepam to hit me much more subtly). So on top of everything else I’m now in my darkest place and dealing with the difficult physical and psychological issues that come with a massive reduction in medication and the kind of medication. I just feel like you could help me fix all of this and if you even saw my message and offered to help me (I know it would never happen), I couldn’t get to you even if you took care of everything. The clinic I’m going to is less than 2 miles away and the doctor is picking me up because I’m too scared to use an Uber on most days. I really wish that you would see this and want to talk to me but that won’t happen either. I just don’t want to suffer anymore and I believe you could definitely help me to survive. 🥺

I had done TMS in the past and I am on medication. I am resistant to depression medication and I had a consultation today about Ketamine. He felt that it would be better for me to try 36 sessions of TMS again instead. He was afraid that my heart rate would go up due to my anxiety. He said you need to be on a depression med if you do ketamine. After each session of ketamine you need to stay for 2 hours and then have someone else drive you home which wasn’t a problem. I have high blood pressure when I go to the doctor and he said it needs to be 140/90. Mine is never as low as 140. I am interested in ECT but they are not set up to do that at my hospital yet. He said after the 36 sessions we will look at me coming in for sessions every so often so I don’t have to do it as long.

had my first ketamine infusion 6 hrs ago. i dont feel sny different. the nurse did check on me but there was little conversation or discussing any of the process. during the infusion ikept trying to think happy thoughts but part of me was thinking my blood pressure might get to high or tryi g to make sure i was breathing regular, when i really didnt know if i was or not. I think i was just trying to control my thoughts to the point it was not successful. Is this possible?

[@lsf339]

I fist did Ketamine in 1975 or thereabouts, but never knew it would go mainstream

[@tomlambert4556]

It’s profound on what psychedelic drug therapy can do for a person. I interview people who have had “trips” and their stories fascinating, some state a newfound spiritual awareness.

[@Marie.loves.nature]

Is it like having an acid trip? A very long time ago in my teens, I was given acid to try and never did again. It scared me. 😱

[@jannieg22155]

I have had two ketamine treatments, and I can't talk or had an emotional experience like that.

[@starlessgolightly]

4:02 ... First of all Incredible Vid!!!! A few of Our Associates have done or could currently be experimenting with intramuscular injectios of (ketamine/?/dextromethorphan((~atos??))/phencyclidine) and so on, and so forth ... So/Now, here is Our question; 'what are those "street drugs" going to end up doing to your Biology??? Our person has something close to a tiny "sebacious/metastic" growth??? , a tiny bump on the one (SINGLE) spot/vein that We finally chose to spike raw "Opioids"... /We bought some WONDERFUL "shite" but still... Now We have a 'lump' that will never go away.../ *That's like TRAUMA in the first place... Duh!*. There ARE NO easy answers... But in Our experience there are always Medicinal options for those who might be struggling. No promises for anyone though... 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤.

What About ocd patients

[@queentina9020]

Sir I had ketamine last week but there was no result for ocd and I got fever and abdominal pain... Is this normal or need more sessions.

[@cnlights2]

Set and setting makes a difference.

[@FredHerbert999]

Its super expensive isn't it?

[@godspeed2939]

But the guy from Friends show died from Ketamine

[@Bonesph]

No he died from drowning due to the effects of Ketamine.

That’s why you use IV therapy!

Have you personally tried the ketamine experience Doctor? Just curious, you sound so authoritative.

Is ketamine good for neuropathy in the feet the numbness in the pain? And in the back?

I have a question i had aspiration pneumonia after general anesthesia years ago am i at risk if i have surgery again ?

[@jadenrhoden4709]

That needle look like it would be used for a pain block getting into the joint. I use a 1" needle for toradol IM deltoid injections.

You don't have to be a Dr to know this! Everyone knows you don't do hallucinogens when you're in a bad mood! 🥴😂

The trick is to manifest forgiveness instead of the primal response of revenge.

[@GScully42]

I'm thinking of trying it out, I'd like to stop taking other drugs like duoloxitine

[@LizzPaintz]

Ketamine fanatics are what is happening now. Late night infomercials starring psychedelic t shirt clad hippies are next! Lmao😂

[@Nancy-dz1vo]

Thank you so much for such great interesting educational video.

[@bluetopaz9057]

Hey, I've been binging your videos, and I have surgery soon and have questions. Is there an email I can reach you at?

[@edwardl.demarco7594]

Doc im available for a Lily dose anytime.

[@christina5588]

that's an IM needle...SubQ needles are short. You need a longer needle to get to the muscle. Was that really an IM injection? Just wondering. Thanks

[@Valarie228]

Is Ketamine therapy something that the patient has to ask for?

[@TransGurl.VrilX.1488]

I don't like it. It makes you immobile while you watch everything around you with pin pointed accuracy with the point being this world is a nightmare! It's aweful.

[@Marie.loves.nature]

I'm happy that people find relief from this, but I would go in with an anxiety attack. I don't think that would be good.

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

I’ve seen a lot of videos of the cute monkeys and they give them Ketamine to control them…. Sadly some of them died from overdose… But I’m too afraid of having an adverse reaction like I did with the first dose of Prozac and I had horrible guelish nightmares the very 1st time… I think I’d like to investigate more about this… I’ll have it done in my Purple Crazy Bus 40’ luxury motorhome… it’s my comfort place w a king size bed… I have a very hard time leaving my house… I’m borderline agoraphobic and clinical settings and hospitals really causes me to be panic attack anxiety

[@Nancy-dz1vo]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@aspidoscelis]

At 1:30 - Personally, this is why I'll probably never get ketamine (or psilocybin, etc., should that become a thing) in a medical context. Having a medical setting be "homey" is better than the alternative, but it's fundamentally a high-stress environment. Given what I know of myself and what we know of the importance of set & setting, this is the wrong way to do it.

[@janeannelson9332]

What is in the ketamine’s?

[@stacydanko7075]

What if you have a medical condition that there is no treatment for, mine is of the skin, and it has left me severely depressed with extreme anxiety and great feelings of hopelessness to the point I’d rather be with my Creator than here. Does this type of treatment help something that is not going to ever go away??? Can someone, anyone, please offer me any advice.

[@Pedro-pz5gb]

My experience on ketamine has been a great benefit while breaking through one ought to take the right dosage, below usually where l get mine

Isn't ketamine addicted as well?? Trading one for another??

[@monkeybearmax]

Do you always trip in ketamine? I wouldn’t want that

[@kayroserey1678]

Having vestibular schwannoma (size med to large) and tegman defect surgery. After 16 years of unilateral facial numbness and cold, tongue and cheek biting, choking on spit, bubbly noise in head to finally get listened to. Well, only after adding frequently falling, jerking, slurring. Added vision issues (inexplicable black spot in vision) and now constant headache over eye. Still mystery. None seem to care about vision and headache. Lifetime being called hypochondriac. Oh well...we will see if I wake up still able to work. Job? Medical coder, interventional radiology & pain management specialty (started in anesthesia coding, 26 years ago) lol. Hobby? Wood carving and painting. Could Ketamine help my situation? PTSD? fear of upcoming pain? Joint replacements history inadequate pain relief due opioid laws? Also like an elephant, hard to put to sleep and stay down. Remember whole conversations far into and early out of anesthesia.

[@Jonibaloneyji]

Mushrooms in the right setting❤ Just takes longer. 4hrs or so❤

[@donnagreyerbiehl7043]

How many of your patients getting ketamine struggle with nausea from the medication?

[@Singlespeedjo]

I have a question. As my dose of IM ketamine has increased, I noticed that I am remembering less from my experience afterwards. In this situation, do you recommend lowering the dose? I’m at 90 mg and very sensitive to it. I always learn a ton from you Doc, thank you.

[@lindamcdermott2205]

Sorry to hear you endorse this.

[@hhk740]

thank you!

I wish I could be your patient 😢 I'm in Israel and although we do have ketamine treatment it's not nearly as available as it is in the US
