Thank you teetee. The procedure part sounds a bit like chemotherapy but with a different medicine. I've never heard of a Ketamine Center but I will ask around. It's probably too far away and too much recovery time but I will ask my pain doctor any way. Peggy

Hi @pfbacon ! I wanted to mention that the Ketamine place I go to, is all outpatient. I am generally there for a total of 3 hours - 15 minutes to prep me, 2 hour infusion, 45 minute recovery time. I sit in a very comfy recliner, they dim the lights and continually monitor me. I have heard of people being admitted into a hospital for Ketamine Infusions, but I don't know anything about those.
