In reply to Ketamine - bladder issues, posted by roversreturn on February 14, 2012, at 14:23:43
hi rover-
could you cite some references to this bladder issue?
please take a look at this;
about half-way down she mentions the bladder issue. (she is a neurologist.) she cites several references for the use of ketamine in pain management/depression. she also sates that the amount of ketamine she uses to treat depression is much lower than the amount used in iv delivery. if you read all the way thru she questions the bladder issue you discuss. as with all medications there are risks. still, i think ketamine may lead to new meds for us suffering from depression.
there are several studies (some at the phase 2 level) trying out ketamine nasal spray for depression. let me know if you'd like me to site them.
i'll keep you posted as i am going down to san diego in hopes of 'scoring' some ketamine nasal spray. ; )
take care.
john
