In recent years, ketamine prescriptions have increased along with a black market business for those self-medicating or using the drug recreationally.
When Los Angeles County medical examiners worked last year to determine how Matthew Perry died, they discovered something startling. The amount of ketamine in Perry's bloodstream was about the same as what would be used during general anesthesia, his autopsy showed. Perry's death — now the subject of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration — is putting a spotlight on the growing use of ketamine.
'There is little data to support these uses, and it's a really risky proposition to be using this drug willy-nilly to treat these sorts of conditions,' said Alexander, the John Hopkins professor. 'The evidence just isn't there.' In October, noting an uptick in use, the FDA issued a warning about ketamine, saying the drug is not approved for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
