Your Treatment: What to Expect
Ketamine is administered intravenously very slowly over 40 minutes. The first 20 minutes of your infusion will have no noticeable effects. At around 20 minutes, you may notice blurred or double vision, a feeling of “lightness” or “floating,” and sometimes numbness in the toes or area around your mouth.
During the final 20 minutes of the infusion, these feelings tend to build; the medicine is at the peak of its intensity at the very end of your treatment. Other common feelings include euphoria, talkativeness, a feeling of being in a dream-like state, heightened senses, and a feeling that people often describe as “weird, odd, different, or interesting.” Less commonly, people may experience anxiety, headache, nausea, or sweating. These feelings will subside 10-15 minutes post-treatment.
Prior to your first treatment, Ketamine Greater Boston will ask you to rank various aspects of your depression. They will then ask you to rank those same aspects 24-hours after your infusion. This will help staff determine how effective the treatment was.
You will know whether ketamine infusions are right for you after only one or two treatments. If you are responding positively, experts recommend six infusions within the first two weeks. After that, you should schedule maintenance infusions to maintain your brain’s response. The total length of treatment depends on each individual’s unique circumstances.
