I have extremely high dose infusions monthly and for some reason I don’t seem to have any side effects at all. My anesthesiologists have all been shocked at what it takes to get me a proper pain infusion dose. Right now I get a 100mg bolus and then 800mg over 2 or 2 1/2 hours depending on how busy PACU is. It has such an amazing effect on ptsd and processing trauma and on my Crps. Took years of fighting the VA to do it but I’m on a solid schedule now and it’s working wonders.

I have learned that I am to concentrate on being a humanitarian. So, I now work as a caregiver of elderly people. My primary profession was as a firefighter.

Dendritic were being formed. I was experiencing dendritic being formed

The VA leaves their patients alone during the process. Disassociation is scary for some of us, (I've known others who feel the same). For myself, when I disassociated, I self injured, to the point I needed surgery to close some of the ---- I made. I'm 13 years free of Si now, but the urge has never passed so Disassociation still frightens me.

@Stadsjaap 4 ай бұрын

The part about THC and dreams makes so much sense. Since the experience of ketamine infusion is so much like a dream, and also because you have to stay off the weed (which disrupts regular dreaming) while receiving treatment with K anyway, it follows that treatment with K will allow dreams to re-exert their properties of psychological healing. That's my hypothesis anyway... 😅

And literally one hour later i was called, the clinic was closing and combining all patients to one location, 5 hours away. I was so upset and have not even looked for another IV Ketamine clinic.

At 5:45 you speak of salivation being excessive under ketamine. At age 69 I suffer from "xerostomia" or excessive dry mouth in recent times. I don't have any anti-depressants and my other meds were considered and ruled out except for Lisinopril and was changed to Losartan which didn't make any difference either. I am also illegal drug free and have said no to such drugs all of my life. Can ketamine stimulate my salivation receptors and I finally overcome xerostomia? I'm hoping I naturally overcome it and I'm so far holding on my taking pilocarpine HCL 5MG tabs 3 times a day. I lost, over several months with diet and exercise, 35 pounds and plateaued with that now after 9 months, so I'm keeping it off this time. I still have about 70 pounds to go... but I'm hoping with health improvements with weightloss etc that my salivation will restart again. Is that a pipe-dream or should I get ketamine treatment, or start taking the pilocarpine? I'm already on 5 meds and trying to avoid more if you know what I mean. Thanks for your great video!

I had a completely different and positive outlook on what my life is. Truly amazing journey. My hope is that this therapy can be somehow made a little cheaper. But most of all I hope that my children can benefit from this therapy. And not have to go through hell for 40 years before receiving some potentially life changing help. Fourth treatment tomorrow.

Disassociation is usually framed as pathological, but it can also be enlightening, tranformative, and healing. Think about it: What was going on with Moses when that burning bush started talking to him? With Muhammed when god (or the devil) were dictating the Koran verses to him? When Jesus had his moment of doubt and pain as he died on the cross? While Siddhartha Gautama sat under the Bodhi tree meditating for 7 weeks? All were undergoing episodes of transcendent disassociation that resulted in the formation of spritual practices and religions which for better or worse, continue to transform and impact humanity to this day. The lesson here is that disassociation is nothing to trifle with. It carries with it the potential for spiritual destruction or spiritual transcendence and awakening. Awakening and healing when it comes to Ketamine infusion theraphy adminstered by skilled and compasionate medical professionals in a safe setting. Trauma / PTSD / Complex PTSD and related conditions are ultimately about unresolved / unprocessed emotions demanding resolution, but finding none. Ketamine infusion theraphy allows people to re-experience / re-live traumatic experiences in a safe way. As an outside observer disassociated from their physical body. In my case this expereince was so powerfully healing that I only needed a single infusion to stop the unremitting refractory anxiety and depression that tormented me most of my life. I am autistic I'm also a musician. Playing guitar and singing are one way I can safely disassociate re-live, and make the worst, most painful moments of my life beautiful, meaningful, and healing. It works in ways very similar to what I expereinced under ketamine. Amazingly, when I perform music in public, people connect with what I'm experiencing and expressing and are healed too. It's amazing. Here's one of the songs I perform that's explicity about disassociation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt12obmdrsrOZ5c.html Tom Yorke calls "How to Disappear Completely" his favorite Radiohead song. Tom Yorke suffers from depression. I suspect disassociation through music is how he transcends it, and that it's this healing transcendence that so many people connect with in the music of Radiohead and so many other artists, writers, poets. The healing power of disassociative transcendence is a universal aspect of human conciousness. With great power comes great risk and thus great responsibility to use that power wisely and carefully.

Is ketamine ever used in a heart cath? I’ve got to know! The only, um, excess liquid “down there” as you put it, happened to me after a heart cath last year, the only one I’ve ever had. As I was waking up an hour later it was because I was peeing about a gallon of water out right there in the bed in recovery. That was beyond embarrassing! If it’s used in that, I’d really like to know for the future. Just in case. lol

I was left wondering if he actually meant the other kind of juicy. You know, the kind where you've been at it with a hot woman. The lubricant kind of juicy.

I will reach out to your clinic. I am interested to know if you have experience/results or are aware of studies related to Ketamine for Myalgic Encephalyitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid. There is so little help, treatment or even compassion for one of the worst diseases anyone can experience. I'm reading of studies taking place for this condition. I'm wondering if you've had direct experience treating patients with this disease.

are therapeutic doses much higher than recreational doses? at parties people normally take a few bumps, which is 20-100mg. with the troches and infusions, people are taking 200-400 mg...

@chrisbenj3819 3 ай бұрын

No infusions at a reputable place are .5MG for every KG you weigh. They might bump it up a little bit but no. Higher doses are not shown to be more effective they can actually be worse

I began esketamine about a month and a half ago can you explain some of the differences between ketamine and this form I take in the doctors office supervised?

@hofahome Жыл бұрын

For general understanding they are the same drug. But for a more complete answer to your question, Ketamine, like many drugs, is a mixture of 2 enantiomers (esketamine and arketamine). Think of these as a left and right hand - both are hands but appear different when you lay one over the other. With respect to drugs one of the enantiomers may act differently than the other. Specifically, esketamine (the S enantiomer of ketamine) is more potent of an NMDA receptor blocker than arketamine.

That IS FASCINATING. Nystagmus? Like astigmatism, only caused by neurological reactions like anxiety? Never heard of it until now. Thank you. As far as pot goes, I'd never heard of anyone overdosing on cannabis before gummies hit the market. (I can't use it; I'm ADHD and it acts totally differently on me - unfortunately. I get really high and hyper, and that's just not right!)

Nystagmus is different than astigmatism. With astigmatism the eyeball is shaped different, kinda like a it has a wrinkle on the lens
