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”

- Fast – Works quickly within days or weeks versus months
- Better – Fewer side effects than traditional antidepressants

Dr. Kane or an associate from Edelica Health will get back with you to answer your questions and find out if ketamine therapy might be right for you.
Clinical trials by Zarate and others have shown that Ketamine can lift depression in hours, or even minutes, much faster than the most commonly used anti-depressant medications now available, which often require weeks to take effect. Further, the antidepressant effects of a single dose can last for a week or longer.
