Ketamine

Research suggests ketamine may promote neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections. Some clinicians and patients describe this as opening a short window, in the hours after a session, to develop new patterns of thinking with the support of therapy.

About IV ketamine

IV ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic. It is used off-label for depression and other conditions — meaning it is not FDA-approved to treat any psychiatric condition. Off-label prescribing is legal and common in psychiatry; decisions are made by your psychiatrist based on your history. Responses vary and improvement is not guaranteed. Side effects can include dissociation, dizziness, nausea, and temporary increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Treatment is provided in-office under physician monitoring.
