Have other CRPS members had experience with intranasal ketamine?
I would like to know how well it worked and any information you have on the related risks. Thank you. |

I am scheduled for starting this intranasal treatment next week. From what I have read I learned the following: ketamine is a major anti-inflammatory and analgesic. The nasal form is more effective for pain than the oral form. It has shown positive results in neuropathic & nociceptive pain.
Any further input? |

Where have you guys gotten this before? Is it FDA approved? I would LOVE to try Intranasal Ketamine! Ketamine is something I have been seriously looking into. Anything to get out of this hell! Any information is appreciated.
Gentle hugs |

Dear Nalakity-Not sure if FDA approved. It will be my first time on this medication. This is with Nancy Sajben, San Diego, CA. What have you tried? I hope to hear from others that have tried nasal or oral ketamine.

My daughter takes both internasal or sublingual from Dr Sajben as well. It provides her some relief but she has to be careful to stay fully hydrated so as to avoid bladder/kidney issues.

Is sublingual easier than nasal to use? I have been up to 6 to 8 sprays trying to figure out my dose and my nostrils were caked with the KET so it would not absorb more well. |

So have you found any relief at all from using it? I'm curious to know how it compares with other types of pain control. Do you use it regularly or PRN for flairs? I use Ketamine cream which helps a little but it is very expensive and ony provides short term relief.

Ketamine is FDA-approved in the United States for two-day use when the patient is awake. The comas aren't approved and most likely won't be for a while.

Our original plan was to take it in lieu of infusions but it has not worked as planned. Now my dd is scheduled for inpatient and then hopefully the sublingual will help keep the flares away.
lSublingual helped her more as the nasal gave her too much irritation in her nasal passages. |
