At Home Ketamine Treatments Questions

Posted by LPRSOB @jdbarr1, 1 day ago

Does anyone use at home Ketamine lozenges for Chronic Pain?

Did it ever help? How frequently and how high of a dose worked for you? I understand this is all individual and I will listen to my provider, but I want to get an idea if people generally are finding high dose/high frequency to relieve chronic pain or if it can be done at lower doses. Or at lower frequency etc. Just wanting to get an idea of regimens that work for people and how successful people have been treating their chronic pain at home.

Currently I take about 100mg 1x/week prescribed by my psychiatrist for pain, ocd, and depression.

Also, if it helped, how long did it take before you started to feel better?

Glad if it helps some, but is it safe for liver, kidneys, etc. ? Unseen downsides ?

To: LPRSOB I gather you are taking this and have not yet seen results? And, because I am totally unfamiliar with this, you take one lozenge per week?

Currently diagnosed with CRPS II, ketamine treatment is one option but I’m having a big problem in finding physicians that treat this Suicide disease.
