What Can I Expect from Ketamine Therapy?

 

Ketamine therapy is administered intravenously. Patients typically have six therapy sessions that take place over several weeks. Once the therapy is complete, they may get follow-up sessions.

 

The infusion starts working right away. Most patients report feeling its effects within 5-10 minutes. Patients report sensations of lightness, dizziness, and euphoria. It can produce a sense of disconnection, self-awareness, and calm.

 

These therapies involve relatively low doses of ketamine, so patients should have safe experiences. Ketamine at low doses does not cause the hallucinations typically associated with higher doses.

 

Those interested in ketamine therapy should search online to find providers near them or online providers who serve their area. For example, a search of ‘ketamine therapy California’ may return many results, while a search of ‘ketamine therapy Beverly Hills,’ will show you clinics in your local area. Likewise, a search for ‘ketamine therapy Salt Lake City,’ might not give you many clinics to choose from, while searching for ‘online ketamine therapy Utah’ may lead to better results.
