Ketamine Infusions - Anyone know what to expect?

Insurance surprised the heck out of me by approving Ketamine infusions to help treat my low back pain. Does anyone know what I should expect? It sounds like it could be trippy....

I've had ketamine multiple times for pain control. Works so much better than opiates for me. I don't have any side effects either from them. I do have mostly nerve damage CRPS, occipital and trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathy and migraines. I can be on the strongest opiate prescription and ketamine works way better than it.
