I was started at way too high of a dose on my first infusion. There was so much anxiety that they gave me drugs to make me forget the experience, and there was a lot of vomiting afterwards. The second infusion went a lot better, they started more slowly, and ended more slowly, and there was no vomiting. I was more familiar with the experience, that’s probably why I wasn’t afraid the second time. Don’t eat a few hours before it, and if you don’t like what you’re seeing close your eyes, that will stop it.

Interesting. What about for CRPS? I had amazing results for PTSD/depression this was a much lower dose (I think as you stated in the video). CRPS however, I’m told it needs to be longer and at a higher dose. how would you treat it with ketamine infusions? Thank you very much!

I am in Austin Texas and looking for a ketamine clinic to have my series of six infusions. There are about five or six places, how should I decide where to go? Also, some places do the infusion for an hour and some for forty minutes, which do you prefer. And Last question, what do you think about the ketamine lozenges, some clinics give them and some don't?

[DHT]

Has your clinic treated (with ketamine ) anyone suffering with Ulcerative colitis, Chron’s or IBS/IBD symptoms; like inflammation and chronic pain?

Thanks

So, once you've calculated the dosage, is it given as a slow IV push over 2 minutes or is it mixed with saline and given over a time period? and if so, how long for the infusion?

I am doing a treatment for depression and have a 200mg dose. I am 170 lbs, 40 years old, and a 1st timer. Is that too high of a dose?

[sharpshiell]

If used to treat trigeminal at a would I be able to drive still from day to day,

[thebeigesheep]

My doctor said he starts at .6 and goes up to 1 slowly over time. Why do you start so low?

[Camceptographyfilms]

What should be the interval of taking ketamine? Like once in a lifetime or can it be taken after several interval? Also what's the amount of first dosage while taking ketamine?

[danielbrian]

I'm getting mixed messages from online resources,

[mariobeans]

So I just had my 3rd infusion. My 1st infusion was 125mg through an IV push over a 30 minute period. I enjoyed the experience very much. 2nd infusion was the same dose because my nurse was reluctant to increase due to my blood pressure being very high during my first infusion (blood pressure was fine during 2nd)
So on my 3rd they increased my dose to 150mg and I barely remember the experience at all. Should I lower my dose for my 4th or is it common to forget/black out during the infusion?

[alexandrys]

Hi!I am interested in whether the ketamine can be used orally(drinking )?What do you recommend for starting dosage this way?Regards Alex

[abraham]

is 100mg good for first time? or that a straight into K hole

[littletime]

What i does mico dose mean? Not sure what that does will be. I am 70 but I also have chronic pain with spinal stenosis . I have been severely depressed even though I am on antidepressants forever it seems. I also have more anxiety after having a stroke. I am scared to get the 1 infusion but I am going to try that anyway and then go to nasal spray. Do you think 1 infusion would jump start me so the nasal kicks in sooner?
