You get this done at a clinic- what's the effects like? I've heard terms like "K-hole" for heavy off-prescription users getting zonked by the stuff. I'm assuming you're taking a light dose? Can you drive yourself home?

I generally leave my clinic about half an hour after my infusion ends, but I'm taking the subway. If I were going to drive I'd probably hang out for 60-90 minutes. The dissociative and psychotomimetic effects wear off pretty quickly. But this depends on dose... my doc used to use higher doses before there was as much research around what works, and back then it would sometimes take a few hours before I felt back to normal in terms of cognitive and motor skills.

I'm in the opposite boat, the dose I receive is fairly high and I'm unable to even stand for around 20 minutes after it ends. There's no way I can drive the day of. As for the events, the feeling of dissociation takes around a day to fade for me. I also have a high deal of cognitive impairment from it, or detachment in my thoughts?

Is enjoyable?

It's a fairly heavy dose where you will k-hole. I get 1ml/kg, I definitely dissociate with it. They hook you up to a crash cart to make sure your blood pressure does not go too high, you put on some eyemasks and headphones and drift into it.

No clinics will recommend driving afterwards. The one I go to won't even allow me to Uber home, I need to arrange a medical transport or have a friend/family member there.

Yes it's at a clinic, and it's not a light dose. It does cause "K-Holes", it'll completely incapacitate you for the day of, and you'll be dizzy and sluggish the day after. So no you can't drive yourself home.

You should not "K-hole" with a clinical dose.
