I like how you responded to the questioner. Very respectful and honest, especially regarding pain. I've witnessed the effects myself and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, because the doctors absolutely assume the patient must be making it up. > All of the typical nerve pain medicines like Amitryptaline, Gaba, Pregabalin, Noortyptaline, etc have responded very poorly in my body and brain. These things terrify me, not gonna lie. My mum had a total knee replacement a few years ago that was a partial failure. She ended up with a DVT despite following the exact warfarin regimen they prescribed and avoiding foods with vitamin K for a week or so. They originally prescribed hydrocodone+tylenol for the pain, but she couldn't take it for long because it would exacerbate her tinnitus. She can't take oxycodone because she vomits almost immediately. So they tried her with tramadol. To this day, I have no idea if it was the combination of emotional and physical distress, or the tramadol, but within a 24 hour period of her first dose, she ended up in the ER with what would be later diagnosed as transient global amnesia. I've read that can be a rare side effect of the drug, but the practitioners I spoke with suggested that was impossible (and maybe they're right; it was almost certainly coincidental). That said, I don't trust these medications. Certainly not when my relatives seem to have a strange array of reactions! For her part, she's sworn off ever taking tramadol again, and had me destroy what was left with the water-activated polymer packets they provide. That's how paranoid she was in the immediate aftermath of that "adventure." I am curious and don't mean to pry: Have you found at least some relief with the Ketamine?
