Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi Caitlin, I also use Ketamine, 200mg twice a day. Sometimes I have taken more and regretted it because it took me into a trip that I cloudn't wait to ge out of! It has helped me quite a bit and when I tell people I am on it and they know what it is they seem surprise. I talked with some people in Europe that take it for their pain, they said it's common over there, here the FDA is very controlling of it and only allow for specific doctors to give it to their patients. Since I am taking it along with my other meds for my pain I thought I'd say hi and let you know there is someone else here that takes it too!

It will be 5 days of continuous Ketamine through an IV, then followed with an oral dosage to keep a certain level in my blood. I had " Lidocaine Infusion Therapy. " last November and the doctors feel I'd be a good candidate for the Ketamine. I know that this isn't a cure, but can offer varying amounts of pain relief and the length of time it may last. They say it is kind of like rebooting your central nervous system. I was interested in knowing if anyone has had this treatment done prior to their oral dosage or if it could be started with an oral dose .I know the members in this group can understand that even a little pain relief is a huge thing for us. I truly cannot remember what it is like to be without pain, as sadly I am sure many of you feel as well. Thank you for your time and I do pray that we can all enjoy a day filled with less pain, " A Good Day " . ~Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Janice, Yes it has helped me, although it seems like everything thing else I have I get used to it over a period of time and it doesn't have the same effect as it once did. Everyone is different Janice so it maybe what your looking for, maybe not, you never know till you have tried. Heck, I tried everything because I didn't want to be in this pain anymore. Some meds worked better than others. I wish you didn't have to wait that long! My thoughts are with you! Sincerely, Doug >Janice wrote: >Thank you for replying so quickly. Are they making a very big difference in your pain level & other symptoms? I am getting a bit anxious as I've waited almost a year for this treatment to start.
