Mike,
First, let me say thank you for the time and effort you put in to your post. They are extremely detailed and very informative and I truly appreciate it.
I have had 3 - 5 day inpatient ketamine infusions with boosters. I worked with doctors in NYC and Dr. Schrwartzman. I had good results. Without getting into a book of explanation the ketamine treatments settled all of the symptoms on the scale I would say I was at an 9 when I started and today I would say I go up and down from a 2 to a 5 based on the weather and other factors.
My question to you is have you ever come across any studies of the effects, long term from the ketamine. I have had some strange things happen, nothing really serious, but just change. Example I always had good healthy teeth, now I am at the dentist for some reason or another for i.e cavities, root canals, extractions etc, every 3 months. My dentist thinks the ketamine damaged the PH in my system in turn effected my teeth.
If you have any direction you can point me in to find out more on this subject I would appreciate this.
I know Parke-Davis makes ketamine so I am trying to contact them to get some solid information. Or at least I think it's Parke-Davis.
Thank you,
Gabbycakes

While you note that you're sure things have changed since the 80's, would you by any chance have known then (or do do know now) what drugs, if any, were given to soften the impact of ketamine, as Clonidine and Versed are prescribed today? Consider it a request for an elaboration of that vivid if brief image you have shared from a not so distant past in medicine: which clearly visited abuse upon you as well as those in your charge.
Also, were these autistic "residents" having surgeries at a higher rate than, say, people of the same age in the general population, and if so, why? Thanks.
Mike
