Personally, I wonder if the K cramps are caused by nor-ketamine moreso than ketamine itself.
The severe ones were dramatic, writhing pain on a level 9 or 10. I only received them three occasions when my blood level of K was high from constant (2-3g nasal/day) use and then hit a high dose of oral K (how high? anyone’s guess… couple grams at least I don’t really measure.) The cramps happened at exactly the 12 hour point post ingestion…. awakening me from sleep.
I’m happy to say that I rid myself of a virtually endless supply of the stuff because I was losing it after six months of daily usage, morning til night. I attempted to use it to control chronic pain. At first I always dosed oral cause I wanted the longest lasting effects possible. I’d carry a liter of water around spiked with it sippin on it all day. This lasted a couple weeks with no noticable side effects (actually felt better than I have in YEARS)… then some abdominal cramping developed, enough to make me switch to the nasal pathway.
Big mistake, as low dose K is far more addictive this way since you have to bump so often. After fooling around with using it once or twice daily for a few weeks, I kept noticing that the comedown would immediatly cause pain to come back that I was treating with the K… especially cause I would use the K as a crutch for any heavy lifting/hard work I had to do that I normally couldn’t do cause of pain. Point being, I worked up to several grams a day.
I could hit 500mg and only get buzzed. Of course, my nose began bleeding so often this couldn’t last long. So I got myself some needles.
Well damn, wouldn’t you know, when your ass and thighs are so bruised from IM injections you can barely walk, and a good 800-1000mg dose it what it takes to feel ‘normal’ (not paranoid, thoughts racing, insanity feeling) you’ve got yourself a real problem. After missing and missing my veins (I kept going all the way through damn it) and injecting four full 1000mg syringes as fast as I can and snortin some to boot… I found myself just begging God for release. For anything, help me fight this demon. I resolved to flush my remainder in the ocean (an insult to the ocean yes but its power is certainly far more profound than K’s is.)
End of the story 6 months later: At first I never craved it. I have started again recently. It greatly increased my daily paranoia level…. I’ve started taking 5-6 ativans daily since to cope with it. All physical changes seem gone, the burning while urinating, etc… except I think I have a diminished sense of smell (is it my imagination? my nose always seems so dry and stuffy now, not like before). Unfortunately, I do have access to it again and, well…. no… not yet. Today’s not the day… not quite yet….:crazy_diz
