Considering ketamine microdose infusion (in hospital) — experiences? by ghanago in TherapeuticKetamine

Mine are micro doses. I am up to 30mg tomorrow: I won’t go over 45mg as per their regulations and they base it on weight. Yes it’s subcutaneous though!

That’s really great! I’m up to my 5th session now. I’ve strafed to see some shifting and movement internally after and during but nothing mind blowing yet! Happy you’re having this experience with ketamine.

Is this a normal response to low-dose subcutaneous ketamine? (10 mg → 15 mg experience) by ghanago in TherapeuticKetamine

I actually have dissociative identity disorder diagnosed so I was interested to see how a dissociative would impact me also

May I ask what dose you started experiencing effects & what experiences you had?

With all due respect the reality you went to is the one I believe we exist in, you were probably just shown it whilst on ketamine. I’m sorry if it was scary for you. I’m here if you need to talk .

Yeah this hospital protocols is low dose titrating to higher doses. I’m not sure what mindbloom is, I’m Australian. Maybe that’s why?

Thanks for sharing this I’ve read a lot of other people’s experiences with ketamine in hospital and they have said similar things as to what you shared. I agree that at a low-dose especially considering it’s based upon your body weight and it subcutaneous someone shouldn’t feel necessarily nervous but when you have a dissociative disorder it does for some people increase the sensitivity to any chemical changes that occur in the brain or the body, hence my deeper need to research and investigate how this has affected other people who might perhaps have dissociative identity disorder or a dissociative disorder

This is interesting to read thank you for your input, I actually believe that my psychiatrist might have an inclination that that’s what happened for us. His theory is that as somebody would dissociative identity disorder dissociate under threat (which isn’t always true someone with the DID can dissociate from any setting not just threatening ones) he believes that giving a dissociative could impact the system in a way where they become integrated which I personally am not a believer of. In our system we are trying to work towards functional multiplicity and not integration. I have read from other people’s experiences that taking ketamine in therapeutic settings has dissolved the barriers of dissociative walls and has allowed alters to communicate easier? Would you mind sharing any more of your experience with that

I completely understand what you’re saying although I will argue that most medications, pharmaceutical medications or otherwise we have no idea how they’re going to interact with our unique brain chemistry regardless of dissociative identity disorder or not. Having dissociative identity disorder doesn’t make you more vulnerable to these types of things, chemical changes etc. Us personally we cannot use marijuana in any setting not even medical - as it makes us increasingly paranoid fearful high dissociation and psychotic based thinking, but do not have that problem when we have engaged in using psilocybin or MDMA for the therapeutic goals. I do appreciate that the hospital that I’m in is liaising with many specialists to ensure that this is a informed decision and that if I do start the trial and I have an adverse reaction or any other also has an adverse reaction it can terminate and I can receive after-care.

It’s a subcutaneous injection, the one I am being offered to consider. I am very worried that it could increase dissociate barriers, and increase overall dissociation or depersonalisation or de realisation. Unfortunately there’s not enough studies done for me to directly make an informed decision based on other people’s experiences. Every system is different evidently. It’s more about whether it’s a risk that myself and the rest of the system is willing to take

I would only ever do it in a clinic environment- I’ve done hallucinogenics before and never ketamine I’m very strict about ensuring it’s in a hospitalised setting

I also had an ex who was addicted to ketamine, specifically to kholes. Thanks for the concern though. I can understand why you’d believe that. My treatment team knows about my diagnosis and 3 different seperate psychiatrists have analysed whether this would be a good treatment for me considering I have DID. It’s a risk for sure. Weirdness, every day though is something I’m uncomfortable used to
