Love Your Bladder? Don't Abuse Ketamine!

While ketamine has shown promise for treatment resistant depression, it does come with abuse/addiction potential and is toxic to the urinary tract with chronic use.  Countless horror stories of bladder and kidney damage have emerged in recent years involving everything from incontinence to pissing blood clots to death from multi-organ failure.  

In short-term users, ketamine acts as an anesthetic dissociative, alleviating pain and separating mind from body.  This quality makes it popular for surgeries in children and veterinary medicine.  It's in the same class of drugs as nitrous oxide, PCP and dextromethorphan (DXM), though it's unique in its ability to cause urinary tract damage.  Ketamine causes this damage by producing toxic metabolites like norketamine that destroy the lining of the bladder wall over time.  Using 3x per week or more for 2+ years leads to a cascade of symptoms including inflammation, fibrotic scarring and irreversible bladder shrinkage that leaves users in a state of chronic pain and disability.  

But the horrors aren't limited to the bladder.  Norketamine produces toxic acidic urine that can back up into the ureters (tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder), causing them to scar and grow shut.  These thin tubes are generally where kidney stones get stuck and cause so much pain, though that is a treatable problem.  "Ketamine bladder" is not.  In other words, if you want to become incontinent/diaper dependent, this is NOT the way.  You still need to be responsible about it because your bladder is a vital organ.

Sadly, this drug can cause a vicious cycle in which users cause themselves so much pain abusing the drug  they then resort to taking more of it to escape the horrific pain  And again, this tends to be an irreversible/permanent condition so prevention is the best medicine here.  If you've already started, quitting today is better than tomorrow.

This bizarre trend serves as a reminder of how important it is to take care of your bladder, even if you're planning to become "unpotty trained" or similar.  There's a right way and wrong way to go about it, and doing it wrong could leave you with a lot more than just incontinence.  The organs of the urinary tract are all connected, and injuring one can easily lead to damage or failure of others.
