Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11
Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12
Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14
Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16
the 2nd to last paragraph is probably what he has. he is laso known alcohol drinker to, which would amplify the symptoms, plus a little cocaine because all that energy is explained with him being on twitter all day
As someone that abused Ketamine for years, it is so easy to be so caught up with delusions (especially those of grandeur, or that are fed into by your environment) especially if abusing in tandem with other drugs that reinforce such delusions like Cocaine.
But those delusions still don’t just manifest out of nothing, the stew that is Elon’s brain has been continually cooking under these circumstances, but mine was under similar and I am no Nazi.
I think it is likely the money, subsequent power and unwillingness to take on board criticism that leads him to be surrounded by sycophants that reinforce his growing mental illness.
Having our false perceptions of reality be reinforced will cause loss of touch with reality over long enough time frames, especially when our actions are devoid of material consequences, and certain stimuli just expedite the process.
Though that isn’t to say there isn’t a huge correlation between brain damage and conservative belief, and that excessive use of drugs such as Alcohol, Cocaine and Cocoethanol, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, PCP, Meth and Ketamine causes significant brain damage.
Guess just yapping but I see ketamine abuse in this case as something that would have made him hugely more susceptible for sure despite maybe not being the sole cause, as over a similar abuse time frame I also struggled with distortions of reality and occasionally mania - especially if stressed and combining with cocaine.
He’s a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.
From NIDA.
