KETAMINE HARM REDUCTION TIPS:
Identify a typical amount used daily, then reduce this for a week by a certain amount. For instance, if you’re using 8 grams a day, try reducing it to 5 grams daily for the next week. Or if your first line is at midday, try stretching it to 5pm. Choose 1 day (2 if you’re brave!) to not use at all. Make this a special day, doing something different, perhaps with a supportive friend.
Use a diary to record and monitor not only the amount, but the feelings you are experiencing while reducing. Discussing this at the next appointment will help you and your worker to better understand your triggers, and the emotions involved, as well as develop a better understanding of what you might be “avoiding”. If experiencing bladder pain, your keyworker can arrange a Urology referral.
Making use of the Antidote drop in and free acupuncture is well-advised to help develop confidence in engaging with others in a safe place, and to help with cravings.
