KETAMINE IV THERAPY
BENEFITS OF KETAMINE
Ketamine offers an advanced treatment option for various mental health issues, providing rapid and effective relief for people diagnosed with depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. NY ketamine infusions work differently than traditional antidepressant drugs. ketamine specifically targets the glutamate system in the brain, which helps in regulating mood and neural connectivity.
Ketamine also interacts with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the brain, which regulate glutamate - a key neurotransmitter involved in synaptic plasticity and brain function. By blocking NMDA receptors, ketamine increases glutamate activity, promoting the formation of new neural connections.
In addition, the surge in glutamate triggers a process called neuroplasticity, where the brain forms and strengthens neural pathways. This helps "rewire" the brain, improving mood and emotional resilience over time.
In chronic pain treatment, ketamine blocks pain signals in the spinal cord and brain, offering significant relief, especially for conditions like fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Unlike traditional antidepressants, which may take weeks to show results, ketamine can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety within hours. This rapid effect makes it a promising option for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions or those at risk of self-harm.

ABOUT KETAMINE IV THERAPY
How does Ketamine work for mental health?
Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, which play a key role in pain perception, mood regulation, and cognitive function. This action increases the production of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that helps form new neural connections and enhances brain plasticity. Initially used as an anesthetic, ketamine has recently gained attention for its powerful mental health benefits.
What conditions can Ketamine treat?
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Anxiety disorders
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Bipolar disorder (specifically for depressive episodes)
- Chronic pain syndromes (like fibromyalgia)
- OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
How quickly can I expect to feel relief from symptoms?
Many patients experience relief within hours to days after the first treatment, although it may take a few sessions for some to feel a noticeable improvement
How is Ketamine administered?
While Ketamine can be administered in several ways, we administer it through an Intravenous IV drip, which is the most common and effective method.
How long do the effects of Ketamine last?
The antidepressant effects of ketamine can begin within hours and last from days to weeks. Most patients undergo several sessions to maintain the benefits over time.
How many sessions are required?
Typically, a course of 6-8 treatments over 2-3 weeks is standard for depression treatment. Maintenance sessions may be needed, depending on the individual.
What are the potential side effects of Ketamine therapy?
Common side effects include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Dissociation (a feeling of detachment)
- Elevated blood pressure
These side effects usually subside after the session ends.
Is Ketamine therapy safe?
When administered in a controlled, clinical environment by trained professionals, ketamine therapy is generally considered safe. However, it is not recommended for individuals with certain conditions, like uncontrolled hypertension or certain heart conditions.
