Is Ketamine Right For Me?
Ketamine is a breakthrough for depression and chronic pain.
While IV Ketamine therapy is not right for everyone, ketamine might be right for you.
Ketamine works....
Ketamine works for depression with a mechanism completely different from standard antidepressants like SSRI’s and others. It works on the glutamate system, instead of the serotonin system. In this way, even people with depression that is resistant to other meds can feel rapid improvement with ketamine.
Ketamine is.....
- Safe – On the WHO “Model List of Essential Medicines”
- Effective – Most people with resistant depression see meaningful improvement with ketamine
- Fast – Works quickly within days or weeks versus months
- Better – Fewer side effects than traditional antidepressants
