Hi Dee -
I doubt my docs would ever go to 1000 or 1200 mg. WOW. Do you have any side effects from such a large dose? I noticed that I was having horrible dreams after my dose was first increased from 150 to 200, but they seem to have subsided now.
I need to work FT, and the last infusion I received was in the middle of the week, so I had to return to work the next day - talk about exhausting!!
Thanks for the info. Take care, Sandy

My RSD doc in NH was Dr. Ralph Beasley, that man is a genius, but due to NH laws, he couldn't do the infusions he knew I needed, and Im thinking he must of had something to do with me getting into BI....my memory just isnt what it used to be...
My current dosage as far as I can remember, and I may be wrong, is between 1000-1200 mg, I will know for sure when I go back in a few weeks or I find my old records ( shamely Ive lived here in AZ for a year now and I still have boxes to unpack  ) it is a higher dose and I think he comes close to the fine line that is set for ketamine
After the first infusion, I spent the next 6-8 months learning to walk again and getting out of that wheelchair. My therapy can make it possible for me to go 8-12 months without getting another infusion. Dont get me wrong, I still hurt but I am better able to tolerate it. I do not take Methadone any longer though which always did worry me....but thats just me. My doc doesnt make any guarentees but I figure what do I have to lose?
Hope I was helpful and sorry for any typos, talk soon k
