  • Emily Mae Wysocarski This is a very different opinion than many on here. I've been treated with Ketamine to reduce the effects of my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The outpatient infusions are the only reasons I have been able to continue in EMS and further my education. I'm in no way addicted or had any negative effects. I developed CRPS after a failed surgery and had no hope for my future before the infusions.
