A Case of Intranasal Ketamine Misuse: Considerations for Clinical Practice

We present a case of a patient who presented with paranoia and personality changes attributed to ketamine misuse, which illustrates the need for more robust screening and systematic monitoring with this medication. Continued evaluation of the abuse potential of ketamine in long-term treatment as well as restricted access and in-office administration are important, to develop a better understanding of the risk-benefit profile of this drug.
