They told me that this should reset my pain receptors so I can come off the super high doses of pain meds and get by with regular meds. Right now I am maxed out on morphine and oxycodone and still can’t stand and walk very well. The pain is horrific.


I have had one treatment and so far this week I have not had one oxycodone and have only had morphine once a day.

Wow! That is impressive. They had me on so much Oxy each day that when I tried to stop taking it, I would start going into severe withdrawals. I don't think they had figured out this Ketamine treatment back then. I am real happy it is working for you.

One blessing it is only once a week. However it is 8 weeks instead of six weeks. I am happy is just once a week, but it takes two days to get my mind back online.

You still get two a day, morning and night. Offering up prayer doesn't cost much, and doesn't take much time.

OK...I have to ask. It has been 6 years since my ordeal trying to get off opiates. They never mentioned anything about offering this treatment for me. Is this something new they have discovered? Maybe not new but in the last few years? I have watched a few drug specials and Ketamine is a highly abused drug out on the streets.

Prayers for you. You are in for a long journey and a very tough one getting off those meds. In 2012-2014, they had me on hydrocodone and oxy for almost 24 months. The withdrawal from that was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. I ended up using a suboxone to help me get off them. Then I had to go through more problems getting off the suboxone but it was not as unpleasant as the opiates. It took me over two years to finally get completely free. I went through anxiety, depression and literally physical illness. Opiates completely destroy your brains ability to properly process your bodies pain receptors. I went through much trial and error in trying to get off opiates but ended up getting help from specialty doctors. Been completely free of them for 6 years now. Prayers for the journey you will have to endure.
