One of the research clinicians who worked with ketamine early on found that his patients did not respond well unless a dosage was reached that produced a mild dissociative state. It doesn't last very long, though. Maybe an hour? Increasing the dosage beyond this threshold yielded a loss of efficacy.

The time between doses as prescribed is every 3 days. I've lengthened it to 4 and might consider 5 if residual fatigue doesn't improve. At 200 mg, induces
about the right amount of disassociation in my case.I hope you are still doing well. Thanks again for your support for me and on this board.
