What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a standard anesthetic that we administer at low dosages to successfully address treatment-resistant mood disorders and chronic pain. Ketamine is a safe alternative to standard anti-depressants and painkillers because it does not suppress the body’s heart rate or breathing like so many other anesthetics.

Intravenous (IV) infusion is the standard method of delivery for Ketamine Infusion Therapy. Ketamine is fast acting, which means results for those with mood disorders are achieved in a matter of hours or days as opposed to weeks as with conventional medications. Ketamine for chronic pain sufferers can also be a more effective and longer-lasting solution than standard addictive painkillers. Individual results may vary, but studies have shown that up to 70% of Ketamine-treated patients experience symptom relief.

The goal for an infusion for a mood disorder is to be only lightly sedated and not fall asleep so that you are able to recall your entire experience. You should feel calm and able to focus on your thoughts but still be responsive and able to communicate. Our goal is not to bother you but let you feel tranquil and experience your infusion. Although chronic pain infusions are also administered at sub-anesthetic doses, these infusions last longer and are slightly higher doses, and often patients fall into light sleep. However, they are able to be woken up and communicate at any time.
Side effects can occur during treatment and are generally mild. They usually end when the infusion is over. Normal side effects include feeling floaty or disconnected and sedated. These are expected and usually well-tolerated. Some people also feel a little bit of nausea We pretreat almost all patients with anti-nausea medication to avoid this. Heart rate and blood pressure can increase but usually don’t result in discontinuation of treatment and can easily be treated if necessary.
No. Unlike opioids, Ketamine is not addictive when administered professionally via IV infusion.
