What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a rapidly acting general anesthetic that has been used safely in operating

rooms and emergency settings for decades. More recently, research has uncovered its

powerful ability to treat mood disorders. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take

weeks to show effects, ketamine works quickly, often within hours or days

Why Choose Ketamine Infusions?

• Fast relief: Many patients feel significant improvement in mood within hours or days of their first treatment.

• Low dose, high impact: Administered at sub-anesthetic levels, ketamine can provide mental health benefits without causing deep sedation.

• Neuroregenerative effects: It promotes the growth of new synaptic connections in the brain, helping to “rewire” unhealthy mood patterns.

Before Your Appointment:

• Don’t eat for at least 4 hours before your infusion.

• Don’t drink anything (including water) for at least 2 hours before.

• Make sure you arrange for someone to drive you home, you will not be able to operate a vehicle or heavy machinery after treatment.

Aftercare and Expectations:

You may feel groggy or dissociated immediately following the infusion. This typically wears off after a few hours. Patients are advised to rest for the remainder of the day and

avoid making important decisions. For optimal results, ketamine therapy is often administered as a series of treatments tailored to each individual’s mental health needs, and may be combined with psychotherapy for long-term benefits.
