Has anyone had ketamine infusions?

My daughter is starting them next week. All sleeping meds have failed her, we are trying this to give her some relief.

Ketamine is a very heavy sedative - sort of a light anesthesia. If you married sedation with anesthesia their child would be ketamine.

@151949, Thank you so much for your reply. May I ask one other question? Is this administered in a hosp? or can it be done in your own home. I apologize for being so dumb.

We did them in the ICU where I worked so we could monitor the patient's vital signs, breathing and heart rhythm.We also did sleep studies in ICU back before they had centers to do them.
