I’m afraid I wont come back as myself, can that happen?

Depends on what you mean by this. It is highly likely that the experience will change you and that you will come back as a “different” person, based on your journey. However, when most people ask this question, the true fear is that of psychosis occurring and being permanent. Based on research and clinical experience psychedelics do not cause permanent psychosis, however, they can induce psychosis in people who are predisposed to psychosis. This is why it is important to provide detailed information about your personal and family medical history in order to allow your physician and therapists to provide the safest environment for you and to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you. Without these underlying risk factors, remember that ketamine is a round trip ticket and you will come back.
