Does anyone have any experience with, or knowledge of, the use of ketamine for the pain of peripheral neuropathy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

As suggested by the Mayo Clinic to treat my erythromelalgia, I use a compound prepared by my pharmacy of Ketamine and Amitriptyline which applied 3 times daily does help my neuropathy.

Compounded cream that includes ketamine and gabapentin was helpful for trigeminal neuralgia

Hi,

Jusr found this today and wanted to clarify that the only eral thing that gives me a little less pain is Sombra. You can find it on Amazon and I use it morning and at night before I go to bed.
We all have to write the White House and let tme know big Pharma needs to go so we can hopfully and finally find more relief from Neuropathy!!!! Semper Fi.

I believe you are referring to Journavx. It is a brand new medication for acute to short term pain relief from surgery or injuries. Not really appropriate for our use for chronic pain.
It may be useful in the future. Now, it is not FDA approved for chronic pain, probably not approved by MediCare, and is probably expensive.

I will not take ketamine again an anesthesiologist overdosed me scared the living daylights out of me. I did not know if I was dead or what. I couldn’t move or talk.
Nurses laughing saying she’s on the ketamine high. I cried for a couple of days afraid to go to sleep. Called my friend he normally takes care of mehehad me read off the amounts of anesthesia and he verified I was overdosed.
