Ketamine is infused into your bloodstream via intravenous means in a process that can range from 45 to 60 minutes. During this process, new neural pathways open as ketamine binds to the receptors within your brain. Through a process called synaptogenesis, your brain works in conjunction with ketamine to stimulate areas of the brain that are associated with severe depression. A vast majority of patients respond positively to one to three sessions. According to Dr. Robert C. Meisner of Harvard University, “ketamine can rapidly reduce suicidality (life¬ threatening thoughts and acts) and relieve other serious symptoms of depression.” Every medication that has ever been devised has side effects, and ketamine is no different. The side effects of ketamine are much milder and desist must quicker than traditional anti-depressants. Some side effects you may experience are blurred vision, high blood pressure, nausea, and dissociation. Side effects are rare and usually desist shortly after the completion of an infusion.
