Study: Club Drug 'Special K' Linked to Irreversible Kidney Damage

i find it unbelieveable how much k some of you guys who post here are taking. I know it is an addictive substance... But i can also feel that it doesn't do a body all that much good. And so i limit my use. I went through a short period of using daily, but i used only low doses. When i use high doses, i space my uses. Sometimes i go weeks without it even though it is within reach. And i don't think i have ever used more than half a gram in a day.

Well im not proud of this in the slightest but over the last year or so ive gone through a lot emotionally and have resorted to a load of ket basically. Ive had a summer off and didnt touch the stuff, but came home and got straight back on it. I can nail however much u give me really. Ive gone through a quarter (7 grams) in a day before and im scared that if i could actually afford it id get worse. Over the last week ive done in between 3/4 and 1 OZ which is probably about 25 full grams... Like some of the other people on this forum ive been feeling excruciating pains in stomach/bowel/urine tract, and have also been to the hospital a few times unable to talk in agony. Ive been given a product called Lanzoprozole which reduces the acid build up in your stomach. I notice the difference when you take it and it definitely reduces the pain in a shorter time... The next step for me was the antibiotics i was given for urine infection... THese also clear up the infection, for me though it was just the time in between where i felt i was in so much pain i couldnt stand it days on end... I didnt ever feel like ending my life, but i felt un-manned totally and reduced as a person to my lowest... My downfall is that i always seem to return to it, i see the bad-influence friends around me having the same problems, but i know i need to keep away as im no doubt damaging myself to an extent unknown to doctors as far as i know!...

Im just writing to advise people with a similar problem who may be scared to go get these prescriptions, drink lots of water, eat minimum amounts of plain food and let the water flush out the infection, dont take ket for a week or so at least and when you do/if you do please try keep to a minimum. Im scared i may stay on the stuff and of the long term effects. I dont want to go on a catheter, i dont want to become infertile. I know some people reading may think me stupid and wont understand, its hard to explain but i know others will understand the mental addiction. Im going to do my best to cut it out, wish me luck i wish you all luck! In the meantime, if anyone has any input that could be helpful to me over the next few days to ease my pain with urine tract apart from taking antibiotics which im already doing, please tell me!!!!!

Cheers :D
 
It is pure ketamine in the UK as well as any where else. People are getting cramps on the liquid also. John Lilly got cramps and he was injecting liquid. The stabiliser in the powder theory might not be right at all

To a degree damage from K is reversable. stop taking it man. if you pissing blood fucking stop.. drink water and get to the urologist.. they will give you medication..

give it a fuking year or so man.. let your body clear up.. think of it this way..

...you can have kidney failure n die prematurely.. or take a break from k and then start again when your much healthier + no tolerance = less potential for harm etc...


..its recreation... make the most of it?

Agreed. Take at least 6 months, off, it makes a world of difference. People say K tolerance lasts forever, well to an extent I believe this is true, but after 6 months of me taking no K at all I got some really nice effects off only 150mg and I used to take 300mg at least to hole. Of course, I fucked it up, used it 7 days later, then 3 days later, then a bit yesterday, like none at all really, but then I did a big line this morning and didn't get much out of it. I'm hoping I haven't reversed it too much as I have 1 gram that I really want to enjoy so I'm going to take 14 days off and see.

Taking a break is totally worth it, I've been through the K addiction, basically it gets to a point where you are SICK of it, and the effects are so dull you see more recreational/fun value in crap like Alcohol. You will reach this point, and the sooner the better.
 
I have a friend who had big problems with his kidneys from doing too much K. He got kidney stones like 3 times, then he continued to snort K while on his meds for his kidneys, then he fucked them up worse, and had to go into surgery. So it doesn't surprise me... mind you, this kid did A LOT and i mean A LOT of fucking K. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than anyone would need to do. (btw i can easily see him doing 10g/week like the other guy posted, but shit, i swear he did more)

My other friend who uses a lot of K (nowhere NEAR the amount that the other guy uses) started pissing blood when he was using. And this is in North America.

I can vouch that an unnamed buddy of mine was hospitalized with kidney stones for about a week and a half after he did K for the first time and went a little over board doing it WAYY too much for almost 2 weeks straight. So I can definitely see truth to this study. And that sucks, cause K is fun, when your not over indulging anyways. And a side note .. My unnamed, hospitalized friend, was using pure Ketamine that a good buddy snatched from his job. ;-] (He worked for a vet .. apparently)
 
Interesting.

I've had Interstitial Cystitis (diagnosed via cystoscopy w/hydrodistension) since 1998, and it's gotten progressively worse; mostly linear. The first (and last) couple times I did K in 2005 I noticed that my bladder capacity actually increased , and frequency/urgency/pain receded (pseudo-remission of IC) for almost 4 months.

I would have figured it's a miracle cure, not causing IC! In fact, I could've sworn I saw mention of Ketamine being used on an IC support forum just recently.

Interesting.

Well, if it turns out that K does frequently lead to Interstitial Cystitis, then allow me to formally recommend that you NOT do anything that increases your chances of getting this shit disease. Quality of life is very low and continues to drop.

Be careful out there.
 
Soniq....I would be grateful to hear from you as to how you are doing.
My 21 yr old son has badder problems due to using Ketamine.
Recently been told he will need his bladder removing.
Interstitial Cystitis diagnosed with thickening of the bladder wall.His bladder capacity holds 100ml.I am searching the internet with the hope of finding a hospital who can perfom bladder removal and replace with a neo bladder and also preserve sexual functions.
