All right: now I am officially having panic attacks. I wish I had not done that ketamine, as several sites I've seen are given rather foreboding conclusions that even one-time use can cause brain malfunction. Plus the cocaine - maybe that's what's causing the real sequelae. Others say prolonged use results in no symptoms. Ugh -- so to say I'm distressed would be an understatement.
There's also mention of norketamine, which supposedly may still be in my system, and only after it has been excreted will the true after-effects (depression, memory problems, etc.) begin. So can I expect to feel worse over the coming days.
Further, I read about persistent spaced-out symptoms. Given that I'm slightly spaced out, with a headache, now, well -- more to worry about.
Finally, if there a chance I experienced brain swelling that may have caused damage. Argh!
What is my long-term prognosis, best guess, without having seen a doctor? I have an appointment on Wednesday, but I suspect he'll just slap me on the wrist and say "well, you shouldn't be doing that stuff," and then go into the possibility I did do real damage. Not what I need to hear.
