Actually, no, not really. I only take 1/2 (50mg) during the day and then just before bed i take a whole one (100mg), When I take the 50mg no side effects. When I take a whole one yes. You feel dizzy and have some brain fog for about an hour after taking it but that's exactly why it's taken at bedtime. You are not supposed to be up walking around and doing things at that dose. Other than that, no, I have no problem with it. The dizziness and brain fog happen for a short amount of time. I can tell you that prior to having the ketamine the pain would keep me away for 2 to 3 days on a regular basis, a lot of times even when I took ambien. When I started taking ketamine I began to sleep again! The ketamine relieves enough pain for me to fall asleep and stay asleep most of the time. When the pain hikes up during the day I do take 100mg. When I'm in that shape I can't do anything but lay down anyway. Ketamine is the best pain relief I've had thus far.

I have large Tarlov cysts compressing the nerves that control everything below the waist and a tethered cord all caused by a fall. They also are causing issues with the CNS neuropathy in my legs & feet, pudendal neuropathy, sciatica, bladder & bowel issues, etc. The tethered cord has been pulling on my spinal cord since 2003 causing a ton of back pain & muscle spasms. No wonder I haven't been able to bend over without it lighting everything up! I was labeled a chronic pain patient without an actual diagnosis until 2018!! Now I'm fighting my insurance co. because they don't want to cover the surgery I so desperately need. I think I may have talked with you a while back.
