Ketamine is a really old veterinary anesthetic. I first used it to knock a horse out 40 year ago.

A few years ago I tried it on myself by injecting it into a vein. I was sitting in a rocking chair facing a wall of bookshelves. Suddenly the wall turned 90 degrees and I was wondering why the books hadn't fallen from the helves. Then I hovering above the room looking down on the chair.

Then I was in a space ship. A porthole on the left was looking down on the earth. Another porthole on the right looked up at the moon. I started to feel vaguely that I should be coming down from the tripping-out experience. I felt like hours had passed and the sun should be going down. Then wondered if I'd damaged my brain. If I was in a catatonic state would someone come to the house when I didn't show up for work that morning?

Eventually I started to have control over my legs and could stand and walk to the kitchen. Then I looked at a clock on the wall. I still felt that hours had passed and it should be dark out. The clock showed that barely 15 minutes had passed since injecting the drug. The next day I tried it again but injected it IM instead of IV. I had the same tripping-out experience but shorter.

I had a similar experience during a 100 mile race in Arizona. At 3AM I saw the Saguaro cacti mobilizing to attack me. AT that point I'd been on the trail for 30 hours.

Fearing the cacti might get me I managed to speed up and outrun them. In both cases I was having "awake dreams".

The ketamine was an interesting experience but I haven't had any interest in doing it again. I don't see how it might affect depression but I dunno.
