low dose ketamine - first time

[cook]

I've been interested in ketamine for a long time and thinking giving it a try. I'm not really interested in losing touch with the world, strong dissociation, k-hole etc. I never done any dissociative/psychedelic drug in my life, just downers basically. I'm looking for experiences from people.

How do threshold or low doses affect you / can it be used productively instead of travelling inside your of mind? What are the risks of using/experimenting with low doses if any? Is there danger of using it with venlafaxine or mirtazapine?

At lower doses, the physical effects (ie. tingling in hands, slight disorientation) will mostly be prominent, and it won't have so much of a psychedelic/dissociative effect. I wouldn't however say that ketamine is productive at any dose.

I can't think of any particular interactions with mirtazapine of venlafexine, though i'm not too familiar with those drugs in particular, and i'd advise (if possible) to perhaps not take them the day you plan on doing K.

yeah dont risk being on other substances mixed with special K
its strong enough by itself, dont need to risk a mixup

And smaller doses of ketamine create a more euphoric state than anything else

id say start with around 30mg, but thats only my opinion for what you should do.
rather start too small than dose too high

I second, opium. Start at a lower dose, ketamine can be a very euphoric substance, unless it's cut to hell... which is complete disrespect to one of my favorite drugs of all time. Psychedelic dope haha

Low dose ket helps my back pop in place for some reason. Therapudic though in itself.
My advice is start low and just work your way up little by little or so. Just do not mix with alcohol and/or barbituates. Had a bad experience myself with some opiates and good ol k. felt like something was NOT right.

Thanks for your replies guys, I played it safe and did only around 5 mgs of S-ket and redosed the same amount later. Pretty ridicolous but even this amount gave me pretty nice euphoria with something speedy in it. But I am prone for addiction and trying to asses the addictive potential of this, and it seems like it's definitely there. But what the hell, it's a rainy day.

I've always found lower doses more recreational than massive doses I've seen some others use. I can still go about my daily activities and interact with people successfully (for the most part 8))

I noticed it seemed to work like nootropic at low doses, I was studying at the same time and it seemed like my memory was just lightning-fast and the thinking processes worked like a clock. Too bad it's so short-acting, I think it could definitely be used therapeutically too, but I would have to sniff those lines every 30 mins or so.

Would I get longer lasting nootropic effects if take it orally?

Don't take it orally; you'd have to dose ~5x the amount.
