THE TRIP: Before reaching the first line, fragmentation will occur the world will begin to spin, but it won't be dizzying. Music will become fragmented. Chaos will ensue. At some point, you will find yourself complete removed from your surroundings and your body. Descriptions of the post-line experience vary substantially, but most include talk of alternate planes of existence, oneness, past and future revelations, and strange fabrics of all sorts. It will be very difficult to communicate at this point, and you probably will not be able to see or hear others in the room. Some revelations will be extremely heavy and some scary, but that fear does not seem to come back with you and is therefore difficult to describe as scary. You will probably find yourself coming back across the line again visibly, attempting to put an object in focus or define it. It is at this point that you will likely want to get in touch with your co-trippers. This is the "Wow" period. It is very important here that you do not try to move for awhile. The trip will continue mildly for an hour or so after this, with more conventional focuses. Read more. |
long term side effects psychosis
A friend of mine was given Ketamine for her hip replacement surgery and although she was paralyzed and unable to move or communicate with her surgeons, she remained fully, brutally awake and aware during the entire surgery.
She said the pain was unbelievable.
I don’t allow Ketamine to be used on my dogs.
Ketamine? I think I would go with leeches first.
in the US, we used ketamine to “induce” anesthesia (put someone to sleep quickly so that the gas anesthesia could take over). The advantage was it didn’t stop breathing (especially good if you had an emergency Caesarian section and didn’t have time to do a spinal), was hard to overdose and didn’t cause the blood pressure to tank (go down) if the person was in shock.
We used it a lot in Africa, where our “anesthetist’ was the guy who scrubbed the floor: we gave it until the patient stopped moving, and then told the guy who was running the drip for us to slow it down...when the patient started moving again, we had him increase the drip.
The bad news: It caused some folks nightmares when used alone.
So usually we gave some scopalamine or valium at the end of surgery to cause amnesia.
The nightmare problem was not in everyone, but it could be severe...that is why it is not used much except in emergencies like I noted...but it is known as a “horse tranquillizer” and kids use it to get high.
It doesn’t make you “sleep” as much as puts you in a state of dissociation, where you feel separated from your body, sort of catatonic...
So I can see why it might treat depression in the same way as other hallucinogens: on the other hand, any severe stress can relieve a depression...
However, the nightmare part will probably make folks unwilling to use it...
Designer drugs...what would we ever do without them.
All this is being brought to you by the same set of fools and idiots who invented lobotomies and electric shock for the brain to erase memories.
Psychologists and psychiatrists and whe sleaze snake oil people of the medical profession.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder. Some depression may occur alongside it, but it primarily causes anxiety which is not close to being the same thing.
Today's miracle is tomorrow's nightmare.
