I broke my leg skydiving a few months ago. The EMTs gave me ketamine and fentanyl before they loaded me up in the ambulance. That stuff sent me to another dimension! I never want to go back there. Was pretty terrifying to be honest. Maybe a low dose could help with depression? I think a high dose would probably scare people and they wouldn't want to do it again.
- astrange 3y agoThat's a pretty traumatic situation, so it suggests you shouldn't try to be cured of depression right after breaking your leg.
- saiya-jin 3y agoYeah that's one of the worst possible combinations (maybe apart from tripping sky high in actual war zone) - drugs and bad traumatic experience, while being loudly transported by strangers to hospital. You can't make up much worse set for trip. No wonder you had a bad trip, although I have absolutely 0 idea about those drugs or their combined effect on one's mind.

- brap 3y agoFormer EMT here. The paramedics/doctors I used to work with would administer ketamine from time to time, but they would always pair it with this other drug (maybe midazolam? I don’t quite remember), for the sole purpose of preventing hallucinations. They made it very clear that the only reason for this mix was that ketamine hallucinations of that dose are often violent or sexual or both, and you don’t want to deal with those kind of allegations. I personally tried low dose pure ketamine (intramuscular) and it was quite pleasant.
