Ketamine is a hallucinogen or it contains an agent that produces hallucinations, a feeling of detachment from oneself. Though it is used as an anaesthetic and a reliever for intense pain, ketamine is not YET approved as a treatment for depression in spite of its amazing effects in treating different types of depression.
Studies show that there are still unreported cases about the effects of ketamine, and it still needs to satisfy the approving authority that ketamine is safe when it is administered with the right dose in the right route.
However, 70% of people who are on ketamine treatment respond in just one day, and the remaining percentage are people responding to ketamine after 3 infusions. The benefit is longer up to four months after six infusions over 3 – 6 weeks. Most of the oral antidepressants become effective only after a few weeks. But with ketamine treatment, the effect is often rapid and it takes only a few hours to see the results.
According to almost all reports, ketamine is safe to use, as long as it is administered at the right dosage and route at a prescribed frequency. In addition to this, well-trained ketamine service staff will definitely guarantee you a safe administration of ketamine throughout the entire procedure.
The side effects of ketamine are classified as common side effects and adverse effects. Common side effects are after-effects or reactions we usually anticipated prior to administration, while adverse effects are harmful effects we do not expect or rarely notice.
Long-term use of ketamine may put your physical and mental well-being at risk. People who tried taking ketamine continuously are most likely to become drug dependents. They thought that if they stopped taking ketamine, their depression will recur so they have no other options but to continue having the treatment as if it is already a part of their lives. If they have developed drug tolerance, the treatment need to be reviewed as it may no longer be effective.
The best thing in these circumstances is to decrease the dose and prolong the intervals so as to manage the effect. If you are yearning for ketamine and there is always a desire to take more of it, it is important to be honest and inform the ketamine team about it.
