Ketamine for chronic pain

I’ve only ever heard of Ketamine being administered through an IV and mixed with another substance. In my case, it was Lidocaine.

I was on a 4 week program where this mixture was given to me through an IV twice a week for a month.

It was for chronic undiagnosed abdominal pain due to depression.

It did NOT help or work long term or short term but I definitely felt the K kick in pretty hard on only a few occasions. But I always felt bad afterwards so I stopped.

The reason I was so “high” just a Jew times and not all is because each nurse administering the IV times the medications a little differently.

I don’t know how it was given to you but I don’t think it will mess with your sobriety.

I use Oxycodone on a daily basis and it works better than any IV mixed Ketamine ever did.

Thanks classy,

Yeah K has to be administered via IV under the supervision of a Dr. So I won't be abusing that drug, even if I wanted too.

K does have a vey short life. As long as you can tolerate the Oxy ok, it would provide much better relief over the course of a day. K is mostly used for "conscious sedation".

I have heard that K is supposed to help with depression, but don't know under what conditions or how it is administered.
