I have a diagnosis od NDPH. I have had a moderate to severe headache every day (all day long) for the past 9 months. I am having IV Ketamine treatment next day (4 infusions over 5 days). Has anyone had this treatment and was it helpful? Thanks for any help.

Omg I have had NDPH for 3 yrs/9 mos, every day/all day. I had 5 spinal blood patches, nerve blocks, everything imaginable. Used Ketamine nose spray. I have a friend who had the Ketamine IVs for 5 days. You will have hallucinations and some pretty noticeable side effects. I am 76 so I refused it. My doctor is putting me on off-label lithium next. Where are you treating for this?
