Wow this clinic is only charging $250 an infusion....

I had 1 hour Ketamine Infusions about 2 years ago. I had a Total of 4, 1 hr Infusions. The thoughts are, it is tremendous for PTSD and Depression. I can say, Yes it helped me tremendously. For Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, No, it is NOT that effective on True PAIN- Deep, Hard PAIN. It was VERY effective for NEuROPATHIC pain.

For Severe Trauma, it is used quite often in the ER. This is so it not only calms you down, help with pain but so you will NOT remember the Trauma as much. This is given by an injection though.

My infusions were $500 each.

Myself, yes, I DO believe it resets Neurotransmitters. The point of causing amnesia for a Trauma.

But, you need to prepare yourself for the first one. You will experience something like never before. It is an out of body experience. I guess it is like , "Tripping", but I never did Acid and stuff before. Remember this:. Try to RELAX and not flip out...JUST GO WITH THE RIDE, and do not panic. It is hard to go back for the 2nd. But you would not mind going continually I do not think this Would be advised. I think if you did this Chronically, it would be MORE harmful than Opiates and Lyrica or Benzodiazapene's.

If you do not suffer from Deep Depression Disorder or PTSD, and Neuropathy, I DO NOT Think it would be that effective. You continue to take your meds as usual. I think SOME Pain Drs recommend and our willing to prescribe, most likely because it does not go against their DEA #, and it puts off increasing your dosages. AGAIN, if you do not suffer from what I stated and ONLY Hard Acute or Chronic Pain, you have to weigh your willingness to lighten your pocketbook! I hope this help's, Good Luck and please let us know your experience, Always Hugs ,Lou

This drug has been around since the 60's. It is not FDA approved...but then again neither is marijuana....
