- lstodd 6y ago500mg? Might as well just shoot (someone) in the head. Total unprofessionalism. "normal" dose would be something like 10-30mg
- goodells 6y agoMy protocols for excited delirium say ketamine 100-200mg IV/IO or 200-400mg IM.
- pseudalopex 6y agoIt's worth noting "excited delirium" is a controversial diagnosis.
- thatcat 6y agoThat doesn't sound like a very safe protocol to follow considering the max dose in a controlled environment for depression treatment is 1mg/kg.
