Has anyone tried ketamine infusion for peripheral neuropathy ?

Yes I did and I was really hoping it was going to work for me but it didn’t. The specialist at the pain clinic was really surprised that it didn’t help because I think most people have a good response to it. It was very weird lying there’s and hallucinating but that didn’t bother me because I knew what to expect. I would have done it again if it had worked but it did nothing.

Hi @carmennieves, I saw that you also asked about ketamine infusions in the Living with Neuropathy discussion so I thought I would respond in this discussion you started on the same question and tag a few other members who have mentioned ketamine for neuropathy. @cwallen9 started the following discussion and may have some experience to share with you.

@overwhelmed, @deadpoets,@adiari, @miro, @lauriedr, @toomuchyarn and @islandhippy may also have some experience to share with you.

@johnbishop Just a heads up- All of you on LDN, it will interfere with Kettamine too. Even 'though it is not an opiate. It is theorized that it needs that system to function. I learned the hard way.
