Does anyone else have a horrible trip on ketamine from an ER trip?
I broke my ankle a few days ago, and they gave me ketamine while they reset it. And while I didn’t feel anything I had a HORRIBLE trip (idk what else to call it)
Think of a depiction of a trip in a horror movie, flashing red and orange, weird geometric shapes and patterns that danced. There were times I could see the doctor’s face and it would transform and melt. I had a feeling like I was in hell, or that my consciousness had slipped through into another dimension (think Talk to Me but without all the other ghosts). It had me thinking “if this is what’s at the end of life wtf is the point?”
“1-800” by BBNo$ and “Chance to be Alive” by Kat Hasty were playing on repeat.
My husband had met me at the ER, but had to step out during the procedure. I had tried to go find him during my trip and couldn’t, which made everything worse.
He was in the room as I was coming out and said that I looked like I was terrified as I was coming out of it.
I’m sure the stress of breaking my leg and being in the ER made the experience bad. Has anyone else had horrible experiences on Ketamine while in the hospital?
