Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I wasn't going to write because I wasn't sure if you would like a second hand opinion.My friend who is paralyzed after a car accident developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and after failing every medication he started on Ketamine in spray form.They built up his dosage over a period of 2 weeks I think, and he has stayed on it ever since. I think he has been on it for 9 months now, I haven't heard anything bad about it from him, besides some nightmares. Subject: Re: Ketamine To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Friday, April 8, 2011, 12:55 AM  Wow..didnt realize they were using that for pain management. The only thing I know about it is they use it in Vets offices during surgery on animals. My daughter used to be a vet tech and she almost got mugged one night walking one of the dogs because the kid was trying to rob her of the ketamine. It is a widely abused street drug now referred to as Special K (I think) Im sure on the dose your doc prescribed wouldnt have the same effect but I have seen videos of people abusing ketamine and it is SCARY SCARY stuff! course who knows what all else they are doing too but if you watch several of the videos you see a pattern of being completely out of control. No Thanks! ________________________________ To: tetheredspinalcord Sent: Thu, April 7, 2011 1:02:24 AM Subject: Ketamine  I tapered off Tramadol 50mg and start Ketamine 12.5mg capsules on Monday. The Dr. wants me to increase dosage every 3 days til I read 3 pills a day. That's if I need it. If I don't, he doesn't want me taking more. He seemed concerned about nightmares but I've read at such a low dose that isn't really an issue. Has anyone taken Ketamine and how did it go?
