From Chaos To Calm: A Life Changed By Ketamine
"Meanwhile, doctors have begun trying ketamine on patients with a wide range of psychiatric disorders other than depression. And there is now growing evidence it can help people with anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and perhaps even obsessive-compulsive disorder."
With so much co-morbid psychiatric disease in pain clinic waiting rooms, this could be a real game changer for patients with Terribly Sad Life Syndrome, victims of adverse childhood events, and the somatically-focused/anxious pain-addict. The evidence that ketamine can be opioid sparing is abundant.
