Ketamine
What is it?
-
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic medication.
-
It was originally developed in the 1960s as a safer alternative to older anesthetics.
-
In medical use, it comes as Ketamine Hydrochloride (HCl).
-
It is listed as a controlled substance in many countries due to its potential for misuse.
How It Works
-
Ketamine blocks NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors in the brain.
-
This causes a dissociative state: patients feel detached from pain, surroundings, or even themselves.
-
At lower doses, it has effects on mood and pain relief.
Medical Uses (Benefits)
-
Anesthesia for surgeries (especially in children, trauma, and emergency settings).
-
Pain management in chronic pain or during operations.
-
Depression treatment – in recent years, low-dose ketamine has shown rapid improvement in patients with treatment-resistant depression.
-
Sedation in emergency care, like for severe injuries or burns.
Harms & Risks
-
Short-term side effects: confusion, dizziness, hallucinations, blurred vision, increased heart rate.
-
Addiction & Misuse: Ketamine is sometimes abused recreationally (“Special K”), leading to hallucinations and dangerous behaviors.
-
Long-term risks: memory problems, bladder damage, dependency.
-
Overdose risk: very high doses can cause loss of consciousness, breathing problems, or death.
Conclusion
-
Ketamine is a powerful medicine with important roles in anesthesia, pain relief, and even mental health treatment.
-
However, it is also widely misused as a recreational drug, which makes it a controlled substance in most countries.
-
When used correctly under medical supervision, it can be life-saving and effective, but misuse can be very harmful.
