Helped my mood but the hangovers were tough
I did 6 sessions of IV ketamine spaced out over about 1.5 months. It wasn't instantaneous, but I noticed a gradual improvement in my mood throughout treatment. Unfortunately, I had bad hangovers following most of my sessions. I found myself more or less couch-bound for the rest of the day after every session and felt sick the following day. I worked with my providers to adjust the dosage, change my eating habits, and experiment with adding scopolamine. That helped, but I found the 12-18 hours after a session mostly unpleasant. I didn't notice any changes or improvements to my other Long COVID symptoms from the ketamine as some people claim, but neurological symptoms (e.g., brain fog and memory issues) have never been a significant part of my Long COVID.
