What is ketamine?

Ketamine is an FDA approved anesthetic since 1970.

What can ketamine do for me?

By blocking NMDA and AMPA receptors, releasing BDNF (Brain derived neurotropic factors), ketamine rapidly induces a state of neuroplasticity, creating a window for the brain to rewire maladaptive patterns. This mechanism can alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, and is also effective for certain types of pain relief.

Is ketamine addictive?

Ketamine is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance. While it is not considered physiologically addictive in the traditional sense, it has a potential for psychological dependence and should only be used under strict medical supervision to prevent misuse.

Are there side effects?

Yes, there are potential side effects. The most common are temporary and may include dissociation, nausea, dizziness, headache, or vomiting. Less common but more serious risks include elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, restlessness, and changes in intraocular or intracranial pressure.
