Sorry I have not had consecutive ketamine IV boosters .
I have only had one booster followed by an oral protocol.
Dr.Schwartzman does offer a 10 day outpatient protocol
IV boosters - 4 hrs @ 20 mg /hr for 10 days

He did tell me that these are not as effective as the wide awake coma treatments as RSD is stubborn .The brain likes it's new rewired system and does not want to go back to its old way of functioning .
As soon as the ketamine is out of our bodies the brain goes back to misfiring That is why it needs to be rewired around the clock. and it needs a lot and sometimes repeatedly and often.
At least that is his theory.It does make sense.
Ketamine is an Nmda antagonist- that is why it works so well
If you trust your doctor and want to try this outpatient protocol why not?
There are abstracts on the topic so why don't you google it to become more informed,
I am sure any good amounts of ketamine will give you some relief and if you are lucky it will last awhile.
What would be wrong with that?

peace.
