Carolyn & Garen I just had it last week & have been told it will take two weeks to feel the full result. Having said that today one of my big triggers very strong cologne worn by a colleague triggered a really bad headache but after a few hours the headache subsided so hoping this was the ketamine kicking in! I would recommend it if you have tried everything else. Good luck & let me know how you get on & I too can let you know how I am in a couple of weeks if you like ?

Hi! I've been having the IV ketamine treatments two days a week for almost a month now. It does help with the pain but for me, it only last 3 days before the pain goes up again. It gives me nausea and headache. I'm also more tired and felt dizzy for 2-3 days. I really hope it'll work for you. Sending you energy!

For some odd reason, the IV Ketamine treatments don't work for me, but the nasal spray and 4 150mg capsules per day help me tremendously.

Hi everyone...I started seeing a new pain specialist and he has given me the option of Ketamine treatments. They do it once a week up to a year of infusions. Does that sound right. And what are the down sides of the treatment if anyone knows? Thanks.....prayers to all of you....
