I got Ketamine at a psychiatric clinic. It really did make me feel strangely relieved, and basically immediately. Reminded me somehow of vacation days when I was a child. The feeling starts fading away once they stop the drip, and it's back to normal after a couple of hours.

Since they don't give out pills (not sure if war-on-drugs bullshit or actually dangerous), it's pointless. You're monitored for half an hour by a physician, and the drip gets done by an anesthetist, and if I remember correctly they insisted I be carted back to my room instead of walking. It's also only done on in-patients. So it was completely impractical as a treatment and had no long-lasting effect at all.
