Hi Dr. Ko , I had my first Ketamine infusion yesterday. In SF. At SF. Surgery Center. I’ve been watching your videos. Thx for having them available. It’s really helpful. My experience was kinda scary but happy. It felt as I was being born. Then I was going through these tunnels & voices were talking to me the whole time, I couldn’t make out. But what I did here is turn left , don’t go straight! Straight was real bright lights, bright clouds! I think that was the way to the pearly gate. When I made the left I woke up to my nurse sitting there. It was quite a journey for me. The positive note on all this, I’m out of pain! Thank you for your videos… especially what to do with mindset before my next one. O one more thing I’m from that beautiful desert! I grew up in Palm Desert! O how I miss it so! ❤
Thank you, Dr. Ko. You do an excellent job instructing patients how to parpare for Ketamine infusions, and explaining why it's important. Looking forward to next infusion.
amazing video! nice and short and to the point! I really want to get ketamine, and probably the most I have to work on is the second one. At times I feel I can change, since I'm still here and at other times I'm adopting a "this is it, there's nothing I can do" mentality
My only question is has the doctor used ketamine himself that would be interesting to hear. Then the advice would feel much more solid to me at least. All helpful information though to hear we need more out here for us to have.
I am currently treated with esketamine i have had great results. I'm looking at ketamine infusions vs esketamine ( spravoto ) seeing which is right for me
What I am curious about for example when doctors and everyone is giving this advice....have you actually used ketamine yourself because if you haven't you truly don't know how powerful and bizarre it gets for people in that ketamine space. This is all great advice though for sure so thank you for the reminders and obviously you are familiar enough to give nice advice. Where I have started my ketamine treatment the nurse was giving advice but I asked have you ever had this treatment or ketamine and she said no. Then you really have NO clue what advice to give honestly just some positive suggestions like these. There is no prepping for heavy hallucinations when in a bad space with your severe mental illness such as horrible depression or anxiety or PTSD from heavy traumas then tripping your butt off facing lots. When using Ayahuasca for example the maestro's take the medicine with you to be in the space with you and guide you to heal....it's very different from what I heard at least because it is tradition and goes back hundreds of years with ancestors, etc. It's very intense and hard and stay positive and stay hopeful so surround yourself with love and nature afterwards too. I am having a hard time with this all and still have 4 treatments to go praying it all helps and doesn't get too dark again.
Do you have any advice for helping a 14 yr old get into the right mindset for this to work? Tomorrow is the 2nd IV session. I'm literally trying to save his life at this point. ❤️

May not seem like it helps, may seem silly, but really is an important part of the healing process. I've had more positive results using this method.

I'm so glad that it helps with the pain. 😊
These are defintelt the mindsets I've had during treatment. I'm seeing very exciting improvements.
Mindset is everything, psychotherapy plus K today greatly helped!
Question?? Would subliminal learning be enhanced and potentially much more effective while going through Ketamine Therapy??

I was lucky I found a doctor who used the treatments himself
It did NOTHING for me at all.
