For those of you that have done the 5 day ketamine treatment, how was it in terms of each day? My boyfriend is in NYC right now getting it done and it's his 3rd day or treatment today. He has already told me this is his last shot, having had type 2 crps after a car wreck 4 months ago.

Anyways, he originally asked me to come with him, but because of work, I could only arrive friday for the final treatment. Things since then have changed.

Day 1, he was a bit loopy, he didn't call me but would only send me texts, some of which sounded very negative and emotional. Like an idiot, he said something that pushed my buttons, we ended up fighting and he told me not to come to nyc anymore, that he didn't have the energy to fight. I understood but said I should come anyways... He didn't really say how he felt, but that he was very sleepy.

Day 2: we talk in the morning, he only mentions that his foot is not feeling good. Later that evening he's even more emotional, explaining that if this doesn't work its the end, suicidal talks, etc. He mentions feeling sick as a dying dog. I try to reassure him that its only day 2.

Day 3: This morning he mentions via text that his foot is swollen and the pain is still there, this was before today's treatment. I tell him to ask the doctor and tell them the pain is still just as bad, he says he will but that he's scared of the answer. His texts are more suicidal and turned off his phone before the next procedure.


I guess I just wanted to hear from people about their experience. I've read a lot of reports, but no one really mentions how things change day to day between the treatments. Did you find things stay relatively painful in the beginning of treatment? I'm trying to stay calm and collected while I'm still states away, but its getting hard.

He's undergoing a 5 day, 4 hour a day treatment in NYC with Dr. Brooks if anyone's had any experience with it. My boyfriend has been dealing with this and pushing me away, not wanting to seem weak, but its really getting hard for me, so any information would be helpful. Thank you.
