Is it allowed to take Ketamine during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It may be a cause of hallucinatory/psychotic reactions in the mother within the next 24 hours after usage. (Close follow-up is mandatory).

I have had over 10- 4 hour ketamine infusions for rsd/crps pain. Ketamine is the only drug that has helped decrease the pain, swelling and burning associated with the rsd. I had very little side effects and the results last about 4 to 6 months. Most insurance plans will not pay for the procedure and it is expensive, but worth every cent.
