This state of sensory deprivation and dissociation can facilitate self exploration hallucinations and dreamlike states of mind which resemble psychedelic mind states. Interactions for Ketamine Barbiturates or narcotics: Prolonged recovery time may occur. Halothane: Blocks cardiovascular stimulatory effects of ketamine leading to decreased cardiac output blood pressure & pulse rate. Tubocurarine and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants: Increased neuromuscular effects leading to prolonged respiratory depression. Thyroid hormones: Concurrent use may produce hypertension and tachycardia. Aminophylline: Reduces seizure threshold. Alcohol: Resistance to ketamine anaesthesia; exaggerated psychosomatic effects during recovery from anaesthesia.
