What are people saying about Perry’s assistant?

Iwamasa’s involvement has spurred discourse questioning whether he’s a victim of some sort. One insider told Vanity Fair, “When I heard Perry’s assistant was arrested, I thought, But that guy was following the orders of his boss … To be honest, I might have done the same thing.” One assistant described the extreme pressures that they faced in their jobs and said following Perry’s death, they asked themselves what they would do in the same position. “There were seven of us at dinner. Four of us said we would have probably done it. Three said they hoped they would have established a boundary earlier, before it got to that point,” this source said. Some in the assistant world didn’t feel torn about the situation at all, however. Brian Daniel, who coordinates celebrity assistant jobs, described the situation as the “deepest betrayal that I can possibly think of.”

The use of the nickname “Ketamine Queen” to refer to the woman charged in connection to Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose has sparked a legal debate.

While the move was “strategic,” the inclusion of the nickname “risks unfairly prejudicing the jury,” Duncan Levin, Harvey Weinstein’s former defense attorney, told Fox News Digital.

Jasveen Sangha, referred to as the “Ketamine Queen” in multiple court documents related to the case, was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. She was also charged with one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine.

Can Ketamine Be Injected?

Ketamine can be administered in the form of an intramuscular injection, and has been used in such a way for a good part of its history. However, like other injectable medications, unsupervised use is dangerous and comes with many risks. Not only can differences in dosage cause varying effects, but the chance for abuse and dangerous, potentially fatal side effects can quickly develop. Recent developments in medicine have established a prominent and safe clinical practice of both intramuscular ketamine and intravenous ketamine infusion therapy as a means to treat depression, PTSD, and other mood disorders when administered by a medical professional in a clinical setting.

What is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

The therapeutic effects of ketamine have been widely known for years, and some have sought to use it recreationally to treat their depression in response. However, personal, at-home or recreational use of ketamine differs greatly from its administration in a safe, clinical setting, and doctors have developed a precise procedure for administering ketamine infusion therapy to treat mood disorders and chronic pain conditions. Because a precise, tailored dose is required for patients to experience optimal benefit from ketamine, individuals who self administer the medication at their leisure and through varying routes of administration pose serious risks to themselves, may make their symptoms worse, or even result in death.

Ketamine Infusion Side Effects

There are no long-term side effects of IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy when administered in a medical setting. Short-term side effects include grogginess, fatigue and mild nausea which usually subside after a full night’s sleep. However, anti-nausea medicine can be given before an infusion preemptively, and any nausea that lingers typically goes away within a few hours, or will completely dissipate by the following day. Patients are also advised not to eat or drink four hours before treatment to aid in the prevention of nausea.
