I appreciate the honesty of this! I've considered doing ketamine therapy and, of course, most of what you see out there is glowing reviews. It's nice to see a view that is more "meh, it's ok". All the more proof that there is not one solution from every issue humans face. :)

I did three in clinic sessions via IV with the dosage increased each time. For the most part, my experience was the same as Chris's: I would be "floaty" during the 30-45 minutes of each session and would be back to feeling normal within an hour. The recommendation was for six sessions, but at $450 a session, I needed to see a marked effect for that kind of money. Now, people that I told about the treatments said they did notice an improvement in my mood. But I wonder if there was a placebo effect in making me more mindful when I felt myself cycling down. Overall, I wouldn't discourage someone from trying it. I would just tell them that their miles may vary.
