Ketamine and painkillers

[Idioteque]

Is it alright to take Ketamine with painkillers such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, codeine etc? SWIM has a headache and assumes it would be ok as he couldn't find anything that said otherwise, but SWIM likes to be safe so thought he would check.

Your Swim should be fine with paracetamol and ibuprofen, make sure he sticks to the recommended dosage though. Swim isn't so sure about stronger pain relief such as those that can make you drowsy, however this could make for a nice combination with ketamine. Overall, Swiy should be fine.

For headache treatment, it sounds ridiculous, but Swim has a glass of a water, 2 x 200mg ibuprofen and one hour's sleep in a dark room, and it sorts him out perfectly. Sometimes the ibuprofen isn't needed. This may be difficult for Swiy to do if Swiy is out with friends or something, but remember it for the future.

Cheers, SWIM just put up with it last night but he will take ibuprofen next time.
