Ketamine IV-Therapy Care
How It Works
The Science & Procedure
Depression is believed to result from the disruption or loss of nerve connections in the brain and imbalances in neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that facilitate communication between neurons. These changes can impact emotions, learning, memory, and activity levels. Traditional antidepressants increase levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin or norepinephrine, but this process can be slow and effective in only about a third of patients. Although the exact mechanism of ketamine is not fully understood, its benefits are thought to be related to its actions on the glutamate receptor system. Glutamate, a prevalent neurotransmitter, is increased by ketamine, which may promote the regrowth of neural connections. This can help the brain shift out of depression and stabilize neurotransmitter levels, often occurring rapidly within minutes to hours. Consequently, ketamine may enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as Neuro Sympathetic Reset, antidepressants, or psychotherapy.
Introduction to the Procedure
Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain's glutamate system, which is involved in mood regulation. Ketamine promotes the growth of new synaptic connections, essentially promoting the formation of new nerve pathways in the brain, which impacts mood and thought processes. In effect, Ketamine provides a RESET of the brain’s malfunctioning processes that have led to depression and anxiety.
What To Expect
Before the Procedure
Before we proceed, we'll review your medical history and any medications you're currently taking. It's essential to inform us of any allergies. Adjustments to your medication or additional precautions can be made based on each individual’s unique treatment and conditions. It is very important that we obtain a precise medical history, including any recent suicide attempts and/or hospitalization. Keeping your mental health care provider informed is essential.
During the Procedure
You will recline comfortably during the procedure. Prior to treatment you will experience a relaxation and visualization treatment via our Firefly virtual reality device. After the VR session is complete, an IV will be started and the infusion will begin. We always start at a low dose and gradually increase, as appropriate for the most effective treatment and outcome. You and your vital signs will be monitored throughout the treatment process. You will be in a comfortable and relaxing environment throughout the procedure. The infusion should last 40 minutes.
Some patients experience mild dissociative effects, such as feeling disconnected from their body or thoughts. It's a temporary sensation and part of the medication's action in the brain.
While ketamine is generally safe, some patients may experience nausea, dizziness, headaches, increased salivation, increased heart rate/blood pressure, or changes in perception during the infusion. We monitor you closely to ensure your comfort and safety. These effects usually subside shortly after the infusion ends.
After the Procedure
Many patients begin to notice improvement in their symptoms within hours or days after the first infusion. However, it is essential to understand that individual responses can vary and that continued close treatment with your mental health professional is essential. Some people may require multiple infusions or ongoing maintenance treatments to achieve optimal results.
Potential Risks and Complications
While complications are rare, as with any procedure, there are potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and worsening of symptoms. We'll take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure your safety.
Follow-Up
Shortly after your treatment, we will reach out to assess your response to the procedure and determine the next steps, which may include future infusions. It may take some time to experience the full benefits, so patience and kindness toward yourself are key.
Conclusion
In summary, ketamine infusions can be a very effective method to treat anxiety and treatment-resistant depression. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.
Life happens. Anxiety, Depression, Restless Sleep or Insomnia, Hair-Trigger Aggression, Hormonal Imbalance, Sexual Dysfunction, PTSD/PTSI are all real.
What if?
WHAT IF the scars of trauma in our lived experiences could be relieved through a 20-minute outpatient medical innovation?
WHAT IF Post Traumatic Stress is an INJURY to our sympathetic nervous systems, rather than a mental disorder?
WHAT IF a second chance at life were real, allowing us to move through the world and connect deeply with everyone and everything around us?
Post-Traumatic Stress is an INJURY (PTSI) to the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) which triggers the amygdala and can directly impact every homeostatic system in the body.
RESET’S NSR treatment releases the “fight, flight or freeze” responses – often stuck “on” – to allow restoration to the pre-trauma state, allowing for release, revival, renewal, RESET of the sympathetic nerve. NSR is a pathway to healing from the scars of trauma and stress.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic with a relatively wide safety margin. It was FDA-approved in 1970 as an anesthetic agent. It is commonly used in anesthesia and has recently shown great benefit in treating patients with chronic pain or treatment-resistant depression.
How does a Ketamine IV-Therapy Infusion work?
Depression is believed to be caused by disruptions or loss of nerve connections in the brain and disturbances in the levels of neurotransmitters (chemicals in our brain that facilitate communication). These changes affect how we process emotions, learning, and memory. Traditional antidepressants typically target serotonin and norepinephrine, but this process can be slow and often ineffective. Although the exact mechanism is not fully understood, the benefits of ketamine are thought to be linked to its actions on the glutamate receptor system. It is believed that ketamine works by increasing levels of glutamate, promoting neural regrowth, and leading to improvements in mood, emotional state, and energy. This effect can occur rapidly, within minutes to hours, potentially enhancing the efficacy of other treatments such as behavioral therapy or medications.
Do I need a referral for a Ketamine treatment?
Yes, a referral is needed from a counselor or psychiatrist who has made a diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). TRD is depression that has not responded to at least two other treatments, such as talk therapy or medication.
Do I need to hold any medications before the Ketamine infusion?
No medications need to be held. However, a nurse will contact you prior to the procedure to discuss the specifics.
What should I expect during my Ketamine treatment?
Each patient may have a slightly different experience, but most are similar. A nurse will administer an IV line in a vein in the arm. The infusion is overseen by a physician or an advanced practice nurse. The patient will be monitored throughout the infusion, which takes about 40 minutes. Ketamine's immediate effects can vary, but most patients feel pleasure or disconnect from the world. Nausea is sometimes a side effect, but it can be easily treated with anti-nausea medication. Once the procedure is over, the patient may still feel the dissociative or sedating effects for 30 minutes to an hour. You will need to arrange a ride to and from the center for the procedure. Typically, ketamine is done in a series of six treatments over three to four weeks.
Are there any restrictions after my Ketamine treatment?
The patient will need a driver to and from the procedure. It is recommended that the patient takes it easy for the remainder of the day. The following day, the patient can resume regular activities without any restrictions.
What are the side effects of Ketamine?
Side effects include drowsiness or fatigue, dissociative symptoms (altered feelings and perceptions including auditory and visual disturbances or hallucinations), hypertension, and confusion/agitation. These symptoms appear tolerable and limited to around the time of treatment.
Is Ketamine FDA-approved?
Ketamine is currently only approved for anesthesia. It is considered off-label use for treating depression. However, many studies have shown significant benefits and compelling evidence to support its use for treatment-resistant depression.
What is the evidence that Ketamine works?
Please refer to our News and Resources page to review the current data on treatment utilizing ketamine for treatment-resistant depression.
How many Ketamine treatments are needed?
The current guidelines recommend that patients initiating treatment undergo two infusions weekly for three weeks. After the initial set of treatments, additional treatments could be needed, including maintenance doses or boosters for symptom recurrence, as recommended by your referring physician.
