Ketamine is increasingly becoming a lifeline for people with treatment-resistant depression who aren’t responding well to traditional antidepressant medications.
If you’re considering ketamine therapy as part of your care plan, be sure to reach out to a qualified anesthesiologist like those at Klarity Clinic to ensure your treatment is both effective and safe.
We offer in-office ketamine infusions to address treatment-resistant depression and a range of mental and emotional disorders. Our skilled team can also infuse NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) into your treatment to help your brain heal itself from the inside out.
For more than six decades, ketamine has been utilized as a surgical anesthetic to keep patients calm and relaxed during an invasive procedure. In more recent years, ketamine is gaining popularity as a treatment for depression and other mental and emotional health disorders.
With in-office treatment, we use lower doses than typically used for surgery. Ketamine rapidly increases levels of glutamate, the largest neurotransmitter that plays a role in healthy brain function, so it works directly on the brain.
Additionally, ketamine has been shown to repair damaged neural connections or trigger the growth of new connections, so your brain can heal.
Individuals who aren’t able to control their condition with traditional medications may find fast and lasting symptom relief with ketamine infusion therapy. We can also add NAD+ to your infusion to enhance the effects of ketamine, boost your energy levels, and optimize your body’s natural stress response.
Infusion therapy involves the delivery of ketamine and NAD+ directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. For this reason alone, you should only undergo IV infusion treatments under the careful supervision of a qualified anesthesiologist to minimize your risk for IV-related complications.
Ketamine infusions also require constant monitoring of your vital signs because there is a risk for side effects – some of which require immediate medical intervention. Ketamine can induce an increase in blood pressure and elevations in your heart rate during treatment, so having our skilled team by your side ensures your safety.
Our infusion specialists are prepared to address any cardiac events or other health issues that occur during and after your ketamine treatment. We continually monitor your overall health and can take action in the event you experience any side effects.
Klarity Clinic staff are also trained to manage behavioral changes that may arise during ketamine therapy. Depending on your health history and reason for treatment, you may experience hallucinations, feelings of dissociation, and sedation while undergoing ketamine infusions, and our team offers the support you need to feel safe.
