I’ve been taking ketamine daily for the past two months—100-120mg of esketamine orally (no water) each night. I plan to continue this routine for at least another 6-12 months.
When I first researched Ketamine Bladder Syndrome (KBS), I saw videos of people saying they developed it from taking 7-10g per day. Since my dose is nowhere near that, I figured I’d be safe.
Right now, I have no symptoms (no blood in urine, no frequent urination, etc.). But I want to know—am I still at risk in the long run?
A bit about me:
36M, 92kg, slim/slender build
No history of serious health issues
Taking ketamine for depression
Would appreciate any insights from people with experience or knowledge on this. Thanks!
Why tho? I am interested, not trying to outright throw out of the window this idea.
I think green tea can help a bit, I have never researched it in-depth but I recall people saying green tea has some component that alleviates ketamine causticity.
I have no means to answer to your question, but raised these things to discussion.
I think it's hard to say for certain. That definitely is a low dose compared to many chronic long term users. But taking it every day, you are still very much at risk for those problems. I am not sure how the risk factor is affected by oral dosing.
If you have not read this thread from one of our users, I would check it out, as it displays some of the potential issues you can come across. A warning though, it ain't pretty and the pictures may be difficult for some. But, I think it's important to see the potential outcomes if you are a regular Ketamine user.
I know cranberry can be good for bladder issues and bladder health, juice & extract could be something to add to your regimen.
(TL-DR: look at the pics of what i pissed out and dont abuse ket)
I thought I had lost these photos but I'm glad I found them. I've been wanting/meaning to make this thread for ages.
1. To remind me never to go back
2. To remind me how far I've come and
3. To share/warn/educate others who may go or be going down the same path.
These were taken between March and July 2016, apart from the very last one which was actually taken in October 2018!
Note: there was actually WAY WORSE stuff that came out of me, before and during I was in rehab (June-July 2016) but I actually rarely took photos. I...
