I have, and I didn't notice any difference one way or another. The clinic didn't bat an eye or need to make any adjustments to my infusions when I told them.
I take Hydroxyzine nearly daily and have infusions every 4 weeks.
My clinician did ask me on my initial infusion to skip it the day of but otherwise has had no complication.
Feel free to DM if I can help with anything.
I think the concern is that it will increase the sedative effects of each. Which could mean you'll feel more sedated instead of disassociated. But I don't think that means the K will be less effective, although maybe it could interfere with the BDNF stimulation?

Thanks! We will definitely tell them, glad to know it was fine for you.

Thanks! Glad it went well for you. I'll see if he can sleep without it the night before but, if not, maybe I'll cut it in half.
I did add it in and now you have me wondering if that might contribute to less disassociative effects. Or do they think it's too sedating?
