Nah,,, I wouldn't be able to compare it to that 'cause I've never done an illegal drug in my life (that I know about). I've only experienced intoxication.
But I can say it's a very similar experience to the conscious sedation I was put into for a pre-op procedure about 5 years ago. A feeling of like you are hoovering above your body watching and listening to the doctors & nurses as they work on you.Yesterday was my 2nd treatment.
I still can't say I am feeling any benefit yet - I should state "mental benefit".
I did notice the arthritic pain in my shoulder area was next to gone!What concerns me is that I think I might have started to experience a panic attack midway thru yesterday's treatment. I've only had one other panic attack about a year & a half ago out on the golf course. I sure hope I don't develope a pattern!
The verdict is still out on the Spravato (esketamine) - a derivative of ketamine.
