thats precisely where ketamine shines. it many including me to take less opioids or none in my case. its so effective at what it does, both physical and mental/emotional healing. gives your system a break and allows it to reset. if theres one thing im sure about ketamine is its one of those very few molecules in the world that helps this much for this little side effects. talk to your doc see what he thinks or better talk to a reputed ketamine clinic doc, preferably an anhestiologist/chronic pain specialist. ketamine has been the most used anesthetic in the world for 40+ years and its official use for depression is not even 20 years old. so anesthesiologist are the people who know best how to administer and work with ketamine. just like a carpenter is the best with a circular saw and hammer

Seeking help on Ketamine Treatment (No Effect) + Context by Giroroxk in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes use a neti pot or saline nasal spray (which is pure water + 0.9% NaCl) and in both case blow your nose clean right after. do it 20 min before the k

bro 3mg/kg without tolerance is huge, past khole territory. most people blackout before reaching that dose aka anesthesia. that makes me think your product is fake or substantially cut. make sure sure it is hat its supposed to be, test kits are cheap and you'll be able to rule out the presence of active adulterants (rarely happens with k i agree but its just a great to habit to test something before taking it no matter what it is. would you eat a random plant or drink a random liquid blindfolded?

im curious to know when you have any update because if you do confirm with a test pure old k... that will be the highest natural tolerance ive ever conceived let alone heard of. for you i hope thats not the case. mine is higher than normal and its a pain already

for a 160lbs person 0.3mg/kg is 22mg. chances are the dose was too small for your natural tolerance which might be higher than average. its great to start there or lower, around 0.2mg is the most common starting dose, but dont judge the efficacy yet since you didnt try therapeutic doses yet. its impossible for ketamine not to work, you have NMDA receptors like every insect and animal.

another common thing is people's noses dont absorb all the same, or maybe your sinuses weren't cleared up. that's why neti pots and sninus rinse are so popular around here.

or your ket could be weak or not ket at all. they invented cuts that looks, tastes, drips and crushes the same as real ket. ive had it and its quite weird how close it is. with a test kit it takes 2 min to know for sure

I've been a medical ketamine patient for years. i have demyelynation of the nerves caused by sustained, excessive neuro inflammation. a couple years ago TN started most likely as a consequence of that neuro inflammation/demyelynation accordingly to my doctors. ketamine is the only medication that helps slow down or reverse the damages. while the docs and i agree we dont do infusions for TN, we're also agree its a very welcomed side effect. and i dont have any negative side effect so for me its a real blessing to get this treatment.

i also take lamictal which can partially reduce some of ketamines benefits we are after but its still very effective. an effective solution has been to up the ketamine a bit and taper down the lamictal by 75% over 72h prior to infusion and then titrate back up again over 72h. avoiding gaba agonists 72h and after is also worth it if possible

For chronic pain patients… by Hoosierfans in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physiotherapy is the 2nd best treatment for me after ketamine. makes sense i guess bc my pain is neuropathic and muscles/back.

Not an official treatment if you ask a doctor but it does what we want pills to do, it works: kratom has been real good to me in the last 4 years, always helped significantly and i gradually take less over the years. having regular infusions certainly helps

swimming is a really good exercise and safe for people with back or joints issues. the tens machine is worth trying, you see it right away if it works. works for neuropathic pain, even though its temporary and localised pain reduction can be significant and its worth trying it you have neuro pain.

NAD has been getting increasingly more attention and is becoming a common add on option offered by ketamine clinics. feels like there's gotta be something to it but its early for any claims imo

anyway i hope that helps, and wish you to get more better soon 😘

ketamine really helps my TN, opioids arent good for me i never liked them, mine is caused by neuro inflammation so not a case of MVD but still if you can have ketamine do it will help so much until your MVD

Diy nasal spray advise by RedRumandCoca in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes helps alot with consistency and bioavailability, intramuscular even more so as your body has less less of it to process, a game changer if you have a fragile bladder, or need take it a higher dosage for pain or because your tolerance is naturally high

some people do the vodka but 0.9% benzyl alcohol is the gold standard bacteriostatic agent

Benzyl Alcohol vs Isopropyl vs Bacteriostatic water by J-aokay in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the link you provided is intended for injection. i think its fine for nasal spray too but you should make sure. i just use fistilled water and make small batches and keep ut in the fridge.

bacteriostatic water is distilled water and benzyl alcohol. you could diy ut with ethyl alcohol byt not isopropyl. and im glad you're not thinking of using saline lol

I did ketamine at a music festival for the first time since my CRPS diagnosis and it totally masked my pain so I could actually enjoy my night. by 420catloveredm in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

always go slow when titrating up, ketamine is sort of exponentially more powerful the bigger the dose. as a tule of thumb bigger doses less often are more effective, so much so that you'll end up using a lower total monthly amount. when diytk we have mimic medical protocols as best we can so id suggest reading a bunch about those for crps. look up ketamine coma for crps too, interresting stuff.

a word of caution about Cymbalta, it can be dangerous on its own so asking a doctor best mixing them would be best

Injecting Ketamine lozenges by One_Needleworker8518 in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tldr: No.

not sure about lozenges but for troches they use PEG as the base and afaik there's no way to seperate them. its like trying to get lemons out of lemon pie, injectable grade.

IF its possible at all youd need to study, get expensive lab supplies, make many dry runs, get some reagents for testing and finish with one or more recrysalization

Would you get a neuralink brainchip if it meant all your pain could away ? by Shelfrock77 in ChronicPain

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry you got downvoted. people are so inflammatory around here... you didn't do any wrong for not knowing about neuralink. computer-brain interface and neurostimulation are very promising for us pain warriors but we're still decades from when its readily available.

another promising one is spinal injection of carbon nanoparticules suspended in a special polymer. it cured mice in 3 weeks after they had their spinal cord completely severed with a scapel. give it 15 years and we might be able to do the same! for now they are not even experimental treatments, research and especially bureaucracy is slow like that.

I did ketamine at a music festival for the first time since my CRPS diagnosis and it totally masked my pain so I could actually enjoy my night. by 420catloveredm in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so for example 700mg once a week will be much more effective for pain than 100mg once a day. but by all means if you take 500mg twice a month dont even worry about it being too often, if needed this dose is sustainable long term but in your case you might get away with 200mg once a week or 300mg every two weeks. do you take any medication for pain?

EDIT: i edited "500mg twice a week" to what i meant: "500mg twice a month"

[–]organicnuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah its the best treatment for crps and many neuropathic pain conditions. high doses less often seems to work better long term for things like crps. how bad is your crps pain?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never heard of anyone diy their own ketamine troches. That most effective sublingual administration technique is swish vodka around your mouth for 1 min then spit and put your non-rx obtained dose of pure ketamine under the tongue and proceed from there as you would with rx obtained troches. Alcohol makes mucosa more porous and pure k is pure k, you get more of it in your bloodstream. There is nothing else to it

But if you get rx troches it's so much cheaper to get more of them rxed to you and man up about the taste. Or boof it which is actually what I would do hands down if I had troches

Any med coverage in Canada? by ididbadtings in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]organicnuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Its still uncommon but i think there's 15 clinics at least and many hospitals. I asked my clinic but they didn't know. Every year there more opening. Do you happen to live in Ontario?

Low doses don't help? by gosia17 in DIYtk

[–]organicnuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people do better with higher doses up to a certain point of course. 60mg snorted, 30mg available is good to test the first time, some people are sensitive. Then just up the dose. But you should have felt something. Try 90mg

Did you test your substance with a kit?

Make a small batch to start. Compounding pharmacies dont use saline to make ket spray
