IV Ketamine - Dose for Depresson vs. Chronic Pain?

Posted by Monkeyrocks on November 27, 2018, at 20:22:35

Hello. I've had panic attacks and treatment resistant depression for 30 years. My first panic attack was at 3 years old and by the time I was 16 I was in the midst of a panic attack more often than I wasn't. I've been on Klonopin 2mg and Ativan 1mg for 30 years too - and at this point the breakthrough panic/anxiety is still Godawful. I've tried 27 psych meds, plus Taurine, Gaba, Insolitol, Kratom, Kava (but haven't tried Kava extract) blah blah blah and endless amount of supplements.

I also have chronic lyme disease. Depending on who you ask, might be the problem. Knowing that doesn't help though bc I've been in treatment for 5 years and am only getting worse.

Throw in Fibromyalgia and never-ending chronic pain and insomnia.

Given all of this I signed up to do 6 treatments of IV Ketamine nearby; it's $3K. But bc I have chronic pain And depression And anxiety - and want to see if the K can help any of them I need to get whichever dose is higher. I'm assuming (ha!) that if I get the dose that would cover pain it would also cover the mental health stuff. Or is the depression and anxiety higher? If so I would do that one and hopefully that would help the chronic pain?
I'm currently on Paxil, Elavil (for pain), 2mg Klonopin, Ativan PRN, LDN, 2 meds for hypothyroid (I felt No difference bw having a tanked thyroid and now having 'normal' levels which is strange). And many supplements.

I've tried the nasal Ketamine and I was in a stupor for an hour but after that hour I felt 'normal' - and normal is shite.

I'm planning on trying phenibut if I can find any.

Sorry to write so much; I wanted to give a full picture at the beginning. If you're knowledgable about IV Ketamine I'd appreciate learning.

Thank you!!!
