WHAT TO EXPECT

Before Infusion

On the day of your infusion, we ask that you not eat anything in the 4 hours prior to your appointment, to avoid nausea. You can drink clear liquids up to 2 hours before your infusion. 

To enhance your experience, we provide visuals and noise cancelling headphones. However, many of our patients bring their own customized playlist.

After Infusion

After receiving an infusion, you will be unable to legally drive for the rest of the day. You must have a responsible adult pick you up or you can use a rideshare service.

At the completion of your first infusion, you may feel the benefits of ketamine immediately. However, most feel relief after the second or third infusion.

During Infusion

One of our experienced providers will take your vital signs and place a small IV in your hand or arm. This will be connected to our continuous infusion pump.

You will then lay back and relax in the recliner as the infusion is started. During the process, your vital signs will be continuously monitored for your safety.

From here, you can listen to music of your choice, watch any of our visuals, and dive deeper into your own thoughts as you experience the wonder of ketamine.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is IV ketamine FDA approved?

IV ketamine used for the purpose of treating depression and chronic pain is considered off-label use. Therefore, it is currently not FDA approved.

How soon will I get relief after ketamine?

Many patients report relief after the second or third infusion. Some patients have reported relief after just a single infusion. The therapeutic effects of ketamine are very rapid. However, each case may vary.

What are the side effects of ketamine? Is it safe?

The most common adverse effects of ketamine are nausea, increased blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Ketamine is considered extremely safe because it does not cause respiratory depression.

How many infusions will I need and how often?

For psychiatric conditions, we recommend an initial series of 6 infusions. This is followed by maintenance infusions which vary, ranging from once a month to once a year depending on your response. Pain conditions generally require longer and more frequent infusions.

Can I eat or drink before my infusion?

You can eat up to 4 hours before your infusion. You can drink clear liquids up to 2 hours before your infusion.

Do I need to bring someone to my infusion appointment? Can I drive home after receiving an infusion?

You do not need to bring someone to your infusion appointment. However, we do require having a responsible adult drive you home as you cannot legally drive for 24 hours after an infusion. Alternatively, you may take a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft.

Does insurance cover ketamine? What payments are accepted?

At this time, insurances do not cover ketamine infusions. We accept cash and credit. If you have PPO insurance with out of network benefits, you may be eligible for a reimbursement through your insurance provider.

Are there any medical conditions that will exclude me from ketamine treatments?

Ketamine is extremely safe and well tolerated. Some conditions that may exclude you from treatment are schizophrenia, severe cardiac disease, liver failure, and kidney failure

Is ketamine addictive?

Administered in a professional setting, it is highly unlikely patients will develop a ketamine addiction. Ketamine is classified as having low dependence potential. For comparison, alcohol has moderate dependence potential, and nicotine has high dependence potential.

What is Spravato and is it offered? Why is ketamine given IV versus other routes of administration?

Spravato is a type of ketamine given intranasally. It is not offered at our clinic. Research has shown that IV ketamine is significantly more effective than Spravato. The bioavaibility of IV ketamine is 100%. In comparison, Spravato has a mean bioavailability of 48%. Some studies have suggested that Spravato offers little to no benefit.

Through an IV infusion, we are able to titrate and deliver ketamine directly to your bloodstream. This gives patients a higher concentration of ketamine in their system, leading to a more effective and predictable response.

HISTORY OF KETAMINE

Ketamine was originally developed and used as an anesthetic due to its analgesic, hypnotic, and amnestic properties at higher doses.  It also maintains the highest safety profile because it does not cause respiratory depression.  In 1970, the FDA approved ketamine for anesthesia and at the time, its predominant use was to aid wounded soldiers on the battlefields in Vietnam.  The use of ketamine in modern medicine began to expand as researchers discovered the extensive benefits in pain management and psychiatry, most notably treatment resistant depression.  Today, ketamine has emerged as possibly the single greatest breakthrough in antidepressant therapy.
Traditional antidepressant medications often take weeks or months for full therapeutic effect.  Ketamine works differently as an NMDA receptor antagonist, signaling a neuronal cascade that leads to a reversal of the effects of chronic stress and depression in the prefrontal cortex of the brain.  The result is a more rapid and robust antidepressant response.  Patients often feel immense relief after just a single, well tolerated infusion  of ketamine.  Additionally, ketamine has also been shown to rapidly reduce suicidal ideations.  Now, there is growing evidence for ketamine’s efficacy in other psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and anxiety.
With the surge of interest in ketamine, research has proven its efficacy in many difficult to treat chronic pain conditions.  When ketamine antagonizes the NMDA receptor, the neural transmission of pain is blocked and the tolerance to opioids is decreased, making pain medication more effective.  With prolonged use, ketamine will "reset" damaged neuronal pathways in the nervous system, allowing the body to return to a more normalized state.  For these reasons, ketamine is extremely effective for treating refractory chronic pain conditions such as CRPS, RSD, fibromyalgia, and chronic back pain.
