What Causes Aggressive And Violent Behaviour?

I am currently in ketamine infused therapy for major depressive disorder. The treatment is working. I no longer feel suicidal or depressed. However, immediately after each infusion is over, I become aggressive, agitated, angry and almost violent. This is a bizarre reaction to an anesthetic. My doctor says I am the only one of his patients who reacts this way and I am wondering why this is.

infusion at a slower rate is also useful
