I may be coming from a different approach as i'm unsure if you are male or female but the meds do wreak havoc on sex and I'm praying that's something that will improve after the ketamine. 3 more weeks to go for me but I guess you'll be first. Let us know! Dawn |

Assuming I get clearance from a glaucoma specialist at USC, I'm probably going to do the ten day, out-patient infusions of 200 mg. over a four hour period.
Just exactly what side effects - for men and women - are you guys talking about? And how long do they last? Thanks, Mike |

Then again, thinking back at least 30 years, it was never all that easy to get it on when I was directly under the influence of any substance intended to put me in a "dissociative state." Perhaps other other folks had more luck in that department. Dunno. Mike |

I just wanted to make a comment about the long lasting side effects after having a ketamine infusion. We all have heard about the hallucinations, I refer to them as heavy, heavy deep, deep dreaming I really never felt hallucinations. Prior to this nightmare I was a normal sleeper remembered a slight dream here and there, except when I was a child I used to sleep walk which makes my next point interesting I think. Since all the ketamine and after the first 2 weeks and then you start your boosters you are basically back to normal and with less pain, headaches, sleeping better, the burning has stopped blal.blah. The one thing that did get worse and not in a bad way is that as my husband puts it, you have a whole live of you own at night when you sleep, I talk, full conversations, I dream extremely heavy and they are not nightmares or scary but it's a whole episode not every night but a lot. As I mentioned above I used to sleep walk as a child so I always must have had some kind of sleep issue but I grew out of that by 10-11 and never experienced this type of dreaming until the ketamine, it prompted my memory of my sleep walking immediately. I just thought that was interesting. Please don't read to much into it. gabbycakes |

I understand that the ketamine program at USC is just getting off the ground. I have been a patient of Steven Richeimer, MD, the Director of the USC Pain Center and Chief of Pain Medicine at USC, since 2003, in one capacity or another: first as a consultant and w/in the last 3 years as my primary. When I last saw him in August, he told me that I was not going to be his first patient - he didn't know who was - because with my histrory of glaucoma and the apparent need to have my pressures monitored during the procedure which he is setting up through another department - he didn't want to take the chance that their first case could be scrubbed by Ophthalmology well before the series of infusions had ended. As it is, my glaucoma specialist has referred me to an ophthalmologist at USC, whom I will see in a week or two, both to to determine if I need additional meds for my glaucoma and whether he will oversee the monitoring of my pressures during the infusions by a resident of clinical fellow. But if he does not believe that I should be receiving ketamine under any circumstances, then it's the same result as I had via email with the doctors in Saarbrücken, Germany on Aug. 13, 2004, when I was told - with tickets for travel in 9 or 10 days already in hand - that even well controlled open angle-glaucoma operated to per se disqualify me from participating in their ketamine coma trials. Hopefully, that won't happen here. And so far, the early indications are looking good, at least on the issue of per se disqualification. And while there are other doctors in LA administering ketamine, I would trust Dr. Richeimer with my life. That, and USC takes most insurance, whereas the other guys who are into this are essentially (if not exclusively) on a cash basis. So I'll see what happens. Thanks for asking. Mike |
