Not meaning to sound the least bit contradictory, but they use infusion rates of up to 7 mg/kg/hour for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: http://www.rsdfoundation.org/test/ketamineabstract.html
Another centre uses lower doses, in the range you quote: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/490806

I have some DXM tablets that I've tried, but they have too many side effects. Still, in a supervised hospital setting, I'd risk the k-hole. I've been many other places already. The k-thingy doesn't scare me one bit. Being closer to Drexel U. is the only reason I've ever had for wishing I lived in Philadelphia. Well, other than real cheese steak. ;-)
