Ketamine treatments

Posted by deadpoets @deadpoets, Sep 21, 2016

Does anyone have any experience with ketamine treatments? Either as part of a clinical trial or otherwise?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Where are you getting all these drugs administered?

Fentanyl, Propofol, etc?

Hi clazzy,

Good question. I've only been given K once, in an ER for very short-term pain management, and mixed with propofol for "conscious sedation" to put my femur back in the hip socket.

As far as I know, K has to be administered by a Dr and through an IV. It's a powerful drug.

I tried Ketamine nose spray for migraine but it did nothing but really clear out my sinuses. Ha!

Hi @deadpoets, welcome to Connect! We've had quite a few active users here on Connect who have discussed ketamine before, so I'm tagging @adiari, @overwhelmed and @islandhippy in hopes that they'll share their experiences with you. I also wanted to share this information I found on ketamine research that's being done: http://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/clinical-updates/psychiatry-psychology/ketamine-research-focuses-on-mechanisms-of-action-and-biomarker-development

Are you looking into ketamine as a treatment for depression, or another mental condition?
