I don't know what the difference is in effectiveness is for the for subanesethetic vs. IV ketamine treatments. And for a one day at a time at that. Also, your dose at 155 mg is fairly low considering you've been sick for 9 years.

What is cool is that you have access to ketamine. Try to get the best protocol you can. Don't give up...keep persisting until you get what you need. There are many research articles on ketamine available at RSDSA.org. Generally, in the US, the sickest patients go for a 5 day inpatient high dose ketamine IV infusion. I started with a 10 day outpatient low dose IV ketamine infusion. In my first year I had a total of 38 infusions. My current protocol is 2 days in a row, every 4 weeks, 200 mgs each day.

I am better than I was, but I still have RSD....I need Migraine meds for my head and have to be careful how I use my arms. but I don't take the heavy duty narcotics very often any more.

Good luck, and don't ever give up!!! Sandy
