| Abstract: | Ketamine is used as a cheap alternative to anaesthetic agents in developing countries. It is also misused as a rave drug because of its psychedelic effect. There are no guidelines for effective management of ketamine withdrawal effects or dependence. Herein we report a case of ketamine dependence and its successful treatment with opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone. |
