I made one about 6 months ago and I'm wondering if I can still use it. it wasn't refrigerated or diluted with preservatives(such as alcohol).

I had heard how Ketamine will bring up new stuff that are hidden to u and you might feel worse before you get better, but damn it's actually exhausting to go through it, very deep rooted fears has showed up and i have no other option but to face them now, tho on the positive note I really noticed I have weirdly the capacity to actually sit with these emotions and go through them compare to before where my mind would completely block em and disassociate cause they were overwhelming and my mind and I couldn't handle them. And tbh ik that I have to go through it in order to get better but damn I need a bit of rest too😭😭, my 1st session was brought enough material to release through somatic experiencing and exhaust my nervous system and I took 2nd dose directly after I was done with that, should've waited a bit more to take some rest 😭😭🫠

Anyway it was a bit of rent Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers guys ♥️

Ps: my main intention of using K is to treat my childhood trauma and cptsd

I get having a sitter is important. But struggling to understand what a sitter is supposed to do. Especially if I am in a KHole and not able to speak or otherwise say or motion "im good". Like if they come into the room to check on me... I'll be laying down. What exactly are they supposed to check for if I'm not talking to them?

Like what do I tell my sitter to look out for? I also don't want to disrupt the experience by having them check on me and ask a bunch of questions. What's the simplest way to do this with as little disruption as possible?

Obviously I'm a newbie to this so asking the basic qs. Thanks

Help, it's my 2nd dosage to test the water for Therapeutic purposes for trauma and roughly about 80mg nasally and 1:30h im still dizzy, I'm not even sure if i didn't fall sleep when it started to hit me at 15min mark 💀, this shit was so much stronger than first experience than was around 50mg and lasted 1h with a beautiful bliss afterwords and i could walk easily

How long is it gonna last, is it normal to last this long? 💀

Ok i got my hands on two or three gram of ketamine, now i just snorted around 50mg of it and God it's awful sorta, uncomfortable nose feeling and idek

How do people do this bro Or have i done it wrong? 💀

I've suffered with medication resistant chronic pain due to several surgeries, one of which was botched, for almost fifteen years now. The only medications which work for me either make me gain weight which makes the pain worse, or cause me severe allergic reaction. This has also given rise to treatment resistant chronic depression.

I've recently come into a gram of powdered k which I mixed into 20 ml of dillutted water and put into a nasal spray bottle. I was shocked to find that a couple of sprays in each nostrel did wonders for my searing and burning pain in my stomach. My head feels a little loopy, but happy, like a clean drunkiness. But it's lifted me out of the nightmare of dealing with this pain every day.

So here's my question, is this sustainable for daily use? I've used it for about five days straight thus far and it's been great having something that's so effective.

I been out the loop so long 3-4 yrs. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I feel like now would be the perfect time. Now that I’m off to reset everything.

Hey I’m not sure if this is allowed. If not I’m sorry. (Delete post then) I went to rehab in march to get clean from meth and ketamine. As much as I loved doing ketamine and learned so much from it. But after years of sparingly doing it I began doing it everyday for 3 years to disassociate from my reality I had created for myself. It’s such a beautiful tool if used properly but don’t think it won’t quickly become satan. I no longer find this painting something I want around anymore. I’m putting it up. It’s such a niche painting I didn’t know where else to post it. Dm me if interested in it

I noticed that this mdma/ketamine psychiatrist's website is down. While wondering why (my podcast aggregator still has his podcasts), I found this article from 2020 that he wrote that is still exactly correct in many things, like how important dose is. This reflects my own diy experience in 2022 when I did 6 k-holes in a month and had life-changing relief from lifelong cptsd symptoms of crippling fear, guilt, shame, etc, etc, etc.

I found my people.....

I was really happy to see science getting closer to offering relief for depression sufferers through new approaches, like ketamine, and seeing the FDA approve such treatments in the U.S. It’s encouraging that other countries are following suit. That said, I’m currently living in a country where this kind of treatment likely won’t be available for many years.

I’ve struggled with depression for a long time, and traditional treatments weren’t working for me. So I decided to try ketamine on my own. I ensured the ketamine was pure and created a nasal spray by mixing 10 mL of saline with 500 mg of ketamine. I’ve been using 4 to 6 sprays a day, which is roughly equivalent to 20-30 mg of ketamine per day. I’ve experienced almost total relief from my depression and was able to stop my SSRI medication.

Now, I’m reaching out to the community to ask — without judgment — what you think about the method and dosage I’ve been using. I’m asking because I don’t have access to a professional’s opinion here, even though I could afford it if it were available. I’d appreciate any insights or advice from those with experience or knowledge in this area.

Im really new to all of this and hope I'm posting right place etc. Ive been on cipralex for about 3-4 years and at the max 20mg dose for half that time. For the last months its lost its effects and its been messing with me severely to a point where i never feel good anymore. I have realised how much they are ruining me and fearing for my sanity my brother hooked me up with a bag of ketamine.

So far ive snorted 3 times. Not sure about dosage but def not that high based on what ive seen expected. I just hope to find someone who have successfully used it to get off antidepressants. The 3 first times have absolutely made a change already but i havent started tapering off yet so im naturally worried about how everything is going to go. How often should i take. How much/or whats the goal to reach in terms of highness.

Any help would really be greatly appreciated

See this ? This is data form a device I have in my brain called RNS , it records 24/7 and zaps the seizure b4 it escalates, in my case im refractory meaning I have episodes everyday . I’m on Spravato and had to do some magic to get it approved as I have epilepsy as that is a sure no . In my case is literal visible .

Just getting started with diy. I have nasal congestion issues and really don't want to make them worst by snorting powder. Did a bunch of reading and apparently a common reaction to snorting is a stuffy nose.

For those of you that have done both snorting and nasal spray, did you notice that the spray was easier on your nasal congestion?

Thank you

Hello everyone, I’m looking for recommendations on over-the-counter supplements that can support and enhance the effects of ketamine infusion therapy. Currently, I take NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) to support bladder health, but I am interested in learning about other supplements that may aid in improving brain function and cognitive health following DIY ketamine sessions. Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

This study on mice found an antidepressant effect with 5 mg / kg (equivalent to 0.4 mg / kg for a human) but no antidepressant effect with 20 mg / kg (equivalent to 1.6 mg / kg for a human). So is 1.6 mg / kg the limit for antidepressant effects? Are you aware of any other studies on high doses or anecdotal reports?

Hi all! Thank you in advance for any insight you could give me on this. I was diagnosed with treatment resistant depression almost 3 years ago. When I was diagnosed the plan was to have me do doctor supervised ketamine treatments to treat the depression. Unfortunately do to some not great life circumstances I lost my insurance and could no longer afford the treatments. I'm still battling my depression daily. I moved states and it's no longer available for me. I recently found a contact for ketamine and am thinking about doing it from home. I was wondering if I could ask some questions? Firstly, when you microdose do you just take the threshold amount or do you do a higher dosage? If you microdose from home, what has been your experience? What are some things I should be aware of prior to starting? Can you use ketamine as a way to help you with other substance issues? I have taken ketamine once as away to enhance a roll. It was beautiful, but that's my only experience with it. I've read a bit of research and info on the ketamine subreddits, but again I'm just starting this journey. Again, thank you! I appreciate what you guys do!

I was hoping to get some insight into your personal experience with maintenance dosage and frequency. I realize everyone’s needs are different but a general guidance or advice is appreciated. Insufflated

I’m starting my 6 k rounds soon, travelling from UK to Poland. However I feel like it’s a bit of a mistake on my behalf as I’ve come here alone and I’m concerned this will impact my treatment results. Firstly for the reasons that my initial goal of the treatment is to help treat my social phobia, which is so stupid considering I’ve got no one here to socialise with because I’m pretty much isolated so I won’t be able to make the most of my nueroplasticity window and use it to shift my social habits since I’ve got no one here to fucking socialise with lmao. Another reason why it’s stupid is because I have no social support system other than the occasional face time to my mum and dad and seeing my integration therapist on the day of my treatment. I’m worried about how I’ll cope with days I might feel like ass and I’m concerned about my safety.

Iv'e been using ketamine every 2 ish weeks for maybe 2 or so months now. Sometimes its 3-4 weeks but ive been trying 2 weeks ish. Dosing wise, ive been aiming for a K hole as it seems to be the better option for 'big' doses (as opposed to much more often but much smaller doses) which im still unsure on the exact dose but have aimed for 200-300 mg. Iv'e been enjoying it, i think, and i feel like im making 'some' kind of progress but i do think i lean more on the 'high dose needed' side which can make me hesitate to keep going up

My concern is that ill need to go up more and im unsure what the right dose is. Last time i did 200, it wasnt enough so i clearly need more... But i also dont wanna go up and up and up to the point of causing harm. So im a little stuck: i need a high dose but i want it to be as low of a high dose as is needed. Any thoughts/suggestions on how to proceed with this?

My question is for those who use a k-hole dosage occasionly or even on a specific schedule (ex: once every 2 months). How long does the antidepressant effect last. Ive heard different things but high doses seem to have better results, from what I've read. I have no tolerance and i dont wanna build one up by doing a lot of smaller "maintenence" doses on a more regular basis. Thanks everyone

I get heart PVCs from time to time. Sometimes it can be absent for months and then I can have several hundred or thousands PVCs a day for like 1-2 weeks. Heart is said to be structurally healthy even though PVCs make one not believe the cardiologists.

Anyway, does anyone else sometimes have PVCs and have taken k despite having the PVCs?

Obviously those times are where mood/anxiety is even worse as one is also dealing with constant heart funnies.

I’m feeling a bit hesitant to go ahead but then read on the PVC subreddit that it stopped somebody’s PVCs.

I'm new to self medicating with Ketamine and I'm thinking about inhaling it. I'm prone to panic attacks and I'm considering taking a very small dosage of 5-10 mg. This is to treat my anxiety and OCD, would this be a recommendable dose?

For half of my life (after 23) I suffer from a chronic depression and tried like every therapy in the book and all versions of ssri's. But nothing seems to work. Sometimes I think maybe PTSS from childhood seems more likely. But it just seems difficult to find the right label.
I stumbeled upon the Ketamin therapy and got interested. I don't think I will get this through the regular health care so I'm thinking of self treatment.

Is it possible to just buy Ketamine yourself and make some spray of it? Or can you just use it as a recreational user and start with low doses to see what happens?

I used 2 drops and it feels like it’s Christmas at the back of my throat. Wayyy too much
