I get ketamine treatment for acute persistent pain (under our public health system) and it’s been pretty much life changing for me. It doesn’t remove the pain, but a week of treatment can give me 1-2 months of “relief” per year, and when you’re basically in pain 24/7/365 that break is absolutely everything.
During the actual treatment itself it removed ~90% of my daily pain, and then it persists after I leave and slowly ramps back up over the following couple months.
Psychedelics in general have such a vast amount of ways they can improve peoples lives if we gave them a chance (and the appropriate study/experimentation).
- dkjaudyeqooe 5y agoAre you only allowed one treatment per year? If so, why?
- sen 5y agoNot sure what’s “allowed” but for me the once a year thing is more about fitting around other treatments, surgeries, etc.
