What are the negative effects of ketamine on the nervous system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't try it at home: Ketamine acts as an anesthetic that causes sedation and can put you to sleep .It acts on the cortex and other brain structures. Acting through the brain it can cause depressed breathing, low blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, confusion, hallucinations, jerky muscle movements . It wipes out recent memory. If not administered by a skilled doctor it can be fatal
