Ketamine acts differently from other medications such as SSRIs, tricyclics, MAOI inhibitors, benzodiazepines, and other antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications. Ketamine infusions result in the structural re-wiring of neural pathways, not just a superficial band-aid.
Treating depression can be very difficult, even with the aid of many commonly prescribed medications. Many individuals feel like test-subjects, bouncing from one drug to the next, desperate for relief, but without receiving it.
Patients suffering from depression have likely been previously treated with one or more SSRI drugs such as Paxil, Luvox, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, and Lexapro, or SNRI drugs such as Effexor, Cymbalta, or Pristiq.
However, up to 50% of these patients may not experience true relief! What patients often DO experience, IMMEDIATELY, are debilitating side effects such as weight gain, nausea, loss of sex-drive, insomnia, chronic fatigue, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Some people may actually experience INCREASED suicidal thoughts from these frequently prescribed drugs. In addition, these medications usually take up to 6 weeks to show any positive effects, while the negative side effects can start immediately.
Over 350 million individuals suffer from depression worldwide. According to the US National Institute of Mental Health, tens of millions of Americans, up to 17% of individuals, may experience disabling depression at some point in time. Additionally, each year, almost 5,000 youths lose their lives to depression, the third leading cause of death among ages 10-24
Symptoms of Depression can often be overwhelming, and many people feel isolated and suffer alone with this condition. People feel that others will not understand their struggle, that they will be refused help or ridiculed. Unfortunately, all too many patients may eventually lose their battle, with terrible consequences.
Experts believe that much of depression is due to how certain nerve pathways, the circuits in your brain, send information, and may not be working properly. Specialized imaging scans show that the parts of your brain involved in mood, thinking, sleep, appetite, and behavior look predictably, and consistently, different when you’re depressed. With IV Ketamine therapy, many of these brain regions show dramatically improved activity after treatment!

***Based on clinical experience
This longer infusion time provides additional increases in our brains own production of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This improves the likelihood that our brain/body will adopt a new way of doing business for us, and not shrug off the treatment as an “outlier.” For clients that fall into one of the following categories, a higher boost in BDNF production (from a 2-hour infusion time) will likely achieve a significantly improved benefit vs. the 1-hour option:
o A history of suffering from mood related struggles for longer than 7-8 years
o A history of taking antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications for longer than 5 years
o A history of alcohol or drug abuse (including prescription opiates/benzodiazepines) in the past 7-8 years
o A 2-hour protocol can be superior for clients that may take a little longer to “let go.”
Ketamine treatment plans are very individualized and there are several different protocols, just for depression. Through detailed phone consultation and intake with Dr. Harris, we support each client in making the choice of protocol that is perfect for them. We can share the differences in pricing of these different protocols during our first phone consultation.
At NeuroRelief™, the initial treatment plan we recommend for new clients is to come in for 6 treatment days over a 2-3 week period of time. This is the latest medical consensus of best initial practices for best initial results, called the Stabilization Protocol.
