Long term problems of ketamine
I was hoping you could answer a question about regular ketamine use and nasal health. I started using early this year and got comfortable with 100mg (insufflated) per week. This continued for about five months with a gap in between. I’ve not used for a few months after I became concerned about my insides and my nose, even though by all accounts I was within safe limits. I noticed no side effects and obviously had no problem with tolerance, but decided to play it safe and stop using for the time being. Do you know what kind of level of usage of K is possible while avoiding long-term...
Read MoreKetamine addiction
Is it possible to get physically addicted (and get withdrawals when discontinued) from ketamine? Yes. Ketamine dependence is one of the problems associated with this drug. Some ketamine users become dependent on the drug in a manner resembling cocaine dependence, with craving , high tolerance and loss of ability to manage the use of the drug. Some users take 5-6 grams of ketamine daily and abuse of ketamine becomes the priority in their lives. There is no evidence of a physiological withdrawal syndrome, but this does not mean that dependence is not possible. A minority (estimated 5-8%)...

I got a quick question:I’ve started taking St. John’s Wort extract with amazing results (treating a mild – moderate depression).Do you know how long before taking MDMA I have to discontinue St. John’s in order not to get into a dangerous situation like serotonin syndrome or spoil the roll?What about Amphetamines? Are they dangerous whilst on St. John’s (I figured no because they are not acting on serotonin that much)? Are you aware of any other drugs that might be dangerous with St. John’s? Do just the same rules apply to St. John’s as to any...
Read MoreAnalgesics and ketamine interactions
Doing ketamine after taking Paracetamol and/or Ibuprofen (recommended dosage)…Is it particularly dangerous? Can’t imagine it’s great for the liver? Not something to make a habit of but the ketamine distracts from the pain. There are not known interactions between recommended dosages of paracetamol or ibuprofen and ketamine. The combination is safe
Read MoreKetamine adverse effects
I would like to know more about the adverse effects of ketamine. How much is too much? How often is too often? Ketamine should not be used combinated with other depressants (alcohol, GHB, benzos…). Changes in body perception and anaesthetic effect can lead to problems when someone is under its effects. If you get burn (by a cigarrette, for example) or suffer some wound under K effects it is possible that you don´t notice it. Loss of motor coordination is a common adverse effect depending on dosage. There has been some concern about ketamine and neurotoxicity but there is no...
