What is ketamine?
Ketamine is a medicine used by doctors and vets as a pain killer. It stops the brain from interpreting pain messages. It is being studied as a medication for depression.
It is also used illegally for its hallucinogenic ‘high’ effect. If bought illegally, it comes as a white powder that can be made into tablets or dissolved into a clear liquid. It can be swallowed, snorted, injected, inserted anally, or smoked with cannabis or tobacco. Sometimes it’s sold as ecstasy. It is sometimes used to spike people’s drinks.
It’s also known as special K, ket, kitkat, super K and horse trank.
What are the effects of taking ketamine?
Ketamine takes effect within 30 seconds to 20 minutes, depending on how it’s taken. The effects can last for 45 to 90 minutes.
Users experience a high in which they may feel happy and relaxed. They may also feel detached from their body (knowns as falling into a k-hole). People who take ketamine can have hallucinations. It alters their perception of reality. They can see, hear, smell or taste things that don’t exist, or can perceive them differently to how they really are.
While the high might feel good, there are downsides too. While using ketamine, people can have blurred vision, slurred speech, become physically uncoordinated, sweat, have a raised temperature and heart rate, feel nauseous and vomit.
When using it, people can:
- feel disorientated and drowsy
- have hallucinations
- feel numb
- feel uncoordinated
- become panicked, confused and anxious
- have a near-death experience
In the days after taking ketamine, people may feel depressed, clumsy, have memory loss or be disoriented, or suffer aches and pains.
Ketamine can affect people differently based on:
- how much they take
- how strong it is
- their size, height and weight
- whether they are used to taking it
- whether they take other drugs at the same time

What can go wrong with ketamine?
If people overdose, they can have convulsions, go into a coma and die. The signs someone has overdosed on ketamine include:
- they can’t move
- their muscles are rigid
- they have convulsions
If you think someone has overdosed on ketamine, call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulance officers don’t have to call the police.
What if I use other drugs or alcohol together with ketamine?
People are more likely to overdose if they take ketamine with alcohol, heroin or other opiates.
Taking ketamine with amphetamines, ecstasy or cocaine puts strain on the body and leads to a fast heart rate.
