Matthew Perry detailed his apparent discomfort with ketamine in his 2022 memoir – a fact that has resurfaced following a toxicology report which revealed his cause of death to be “the acute effects of ketamine.”

In Friends, Lovers, And The Big Terrible Thing, the Friends star revealed he had undergone ketamine infusion therapy while at a rehab facility in Switzerland, reports Entertainment Tonight. But while he kept going back to those sessions, he said the after effects were “rough.”
