I know Drea has taken it orally. I am also wondering what doseage she took and how it made her feel during the day (mine is at night). I have to have my teeth brushed, my face washed and the coffee made before I can even think about taking it. Kiss my kids and apologize for going "out" for the night.
I would really like to find something that I could be coherent to; if the house were to catch fire, etc... Just don't like not being aware. It scares the crap outta me honestly.
It does help with sleep and the pain. It doesn't help with the worries.
Thanks for any input.

Hi Kim
I do not take it orally but I have done 3 - 5 day inpatient infusions with boosters and yet it did help with the burning, spreading, fatigue of RSD and some of the pain I also have PN in the same area and it does not do anything for the PN. The PN is in the same area from the same inquiry. Ketamine and I have a real love hate relationship it helps but what I go through I wonder if it was worth it. Anyway I never really had hallucinations during each procedure but I had what I would call heavy day dreaming like in my own world. Anyway to this day and my last booster was Jan 09 so almost 2 years, I still have strange dreams again not as expressive as during an infusion but my dreams are like being in another world the same type I had when I was in doing the procedures. I don't have nightmares just like storytime it's weird. And I know how you feel if something happened while I was sleeping and the house was on fire or something else. It feels like you are in never never land but I have a 19 year old son and I still wake up on the weekends to make sure he's home safe, so maybe we are not in such a deep sleep. But I can totally relate. I think it's strange that I still dream like this after all this time. And just for FYI I don't take much medication at all at matter of fact I'm on the least amount I have ever been on since this whole nightmare started.
Good Luck
