I am considering joining a clinical trial regarding the safety and efficacy of 56-84mg of intranasal ketamine for depression. It seems to be a long term study where you self-administer the dose either weekly, once every two weeks, or once a month. I know ketamine can cause cognitive impairment and serious bladder issues but Im unsure if Id be at risk for those problems. I will obviously discuss this with my doctors, but I dont expect them to be experts on ketamine and I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with the possible risks. Ive heard that issues arise from large doses and frequent use, but Im not sure what exactly qualifies as frequent use. I also am wondering if tolerance will develop from weekly use, resulting in less efficacy over time. Any info on ketamine would be greatly appreciated!
