a question about Ketamine usage

[bugs will bite]

I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions regarding K usage and effects.
For maybe a year I have been using K & ecstacy together, maybe once or twice a month. I would take one pill and split a vial of K with my wife (usually Tokyo or ketalar from mexico). Lately I have noticed that I remember a lot less of the K experience but it is still very enjoyable (I know tolerance is getting higher), but the last two times some things happened that make me wonder if I need to take a break longer than a month.
the first time I remember going to the bathroom shortly after I did a line, and next thing I remember was waking up in my bed the next morning. My wife said she found me standing in the bathroom, just staring in the mirror with a weird smile on my face. She tried to get me to move but I just kept smiling at her and didnt really understand what she was saying, she got a little freaked and went and got my friend who was partying with us that night. apparently he went and got me some candy to eat and they put me to bed. The second time was similiar, except after we had been doing K for a while (with e as well)and went to go lay down (this was about 2 weeks after the first experience)at some point in the night I must have gotten up out of bed and fallen down because when I woke up in the morning my side was sore, I had a bruise on my hip and one of my fingers was messed up. other than that I have noticed no ill effects, and I am thinking maybe both times I did enough to K hole and these types of situations are why people say to get someone sober to trip-sit for you. Also I know that my tolerance is getting higher so maybe subconsciously I am doing bigger lines without even thinking about it.
We have never done more than 2 vials over a weekend, and I would like to continue to enjoy this wonderful combo as I am not done travelling yet, so just wondering if anyone has had any similiar situations, or advice.
Yeah I know that the smart thing to do would be to stop all together, but dammit it is a lot of fun!!
Thanks

By all means if you feel you are suffering psychological problems from any drug use it is advisable to discontinue use untell those problems go away. Most of the time from what i have read those effects will go away eventually so dont worry too much, just lay off the stuff for a while.

If you can, STOP! You're telling a story similar to the story I would have told when I was getting in to deep with ketamine... it's psychosis.. your world just kinda spinds out of control and everything is a blur - right?
Try to cut back, because it only gets worse...

I've known people addicted to K and it always seemed like one of the nastier addictions... so my suggestion would be to try something harder that I've noticed works well for addiction... a nice [or not so nice, depending on what you need], long DMT trip.
You can order the necessary parts to make ayahuasca online (quasi-legally) and there are plenty of recipes all over the place.
For the DMT-containing rootbark I would suggest Mimosa hostilis as they contain more DMT than most, so it's a better bargain.
Syrian Rue, the MAOi you need to activate the DMT orally is dirt cheap.
Be ready for 'la purga' and an intense trip... but it could be what a K-user/addict needs.
little side note: according to Erowid the only ketamine death is attributed to D.M. Turner. Although he didn't beat the addiction, he considered DMT to be his most helpful entheogen.
The site does not say whether he took short-lived smoked DMT trips or long, ayahuasca-based ones.
Good luck, by the way.

pinwheel, it might be good to note that DM Turner didn't die from the ketamine...he died from drowning in the bathtub while on K.

Thank you all very much!!! I really needed to hear advice like that. It seems like K has a way of sneaking up on you, and I appreciate knowing that the downside is far more serious than it may seem while you are doing it. I'll read up on the DMT and see if that is something I would like to try when I feel like travelling, I was also considering maybe foxy or 2ct7?
things these days are going well for me with work, etc, in my personal life, thank you all for helping me check myself and keep from doing something stupid!

Not that it has anything to do with the thread, but Marcia Moore aka the Fire Goddess, froze to death in the woods while on K.
