Ketamine, a derivative of phencyclidine, is an anesthetic drug that was developed in 1962 and has been widely used in a variety of settings. Ketamine acts as an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and targets glutamate, which is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter.

Ketamine has been used to induce and maintain general anesthesia for more than 30 years and is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. Ketamine is an anesthetic that has a remarkably safe track record in clinical settings. Ketamine is commonly used to treat Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), sometimes referred to as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).

Over the past two decades, researchers have consistently found that low doses of ketamine, administered intravenously (ketamine infusions), produce a rapid anti-depressant effect.

Scientists are still exploring the exact mechanism by which depression is relieved, but research suggests that by blocking the NMDA receptors, ketamine prompts the brain to increase the production of synaptic signaling proteins in the prefrontal cortex.

The prefrontal cortex is the region of the brain thought to play a critical role in a person’s ability to regulate his/her mood.

Ketamine appears to promote the growth of new synapses in the prefrontal cortex, resulting in greater connectivity in the brain, while also switching certain connections on and off. This cascade of events is thought to be the reason for the rapid anti-depressant effect.

The duration of symptomatic relief patients experience following ketamine infusion therapy varies.
Clients who have received ketamine infusion therapy for depression have reported significant improvements in their mood and abilities to function anywhere from weeks to months to indefinitely. At NeuConnections, we specialize in a process designed for long term results. For some clients, a single quarterly session or “booster” is what they need to get back on track or help them navigate their current situation. 

Some of our clients come back once a month, most average every three months, and most never need to come back. We encourage quarterly or “Seasonal Visits” to emphasize the growth and transformation that occurs during the Induction Series. You’ve already invested so much into your healing, seasonal boosters are a more affordable way to capitalize on your initial investment. Most of our clients that come back look forward to working with us, often to check into new perspectives, manage some of the stressors showing up, relax their body, or see what new insights can be gleaned from the experience.

To achieve lasting results you will need to implement everything you have learned leading to this point. Ketamine infusions may be the “booster fuel” to get you out of a rut, but you need to “do the work” and address the root causes that will ensure lasting results. The Journey continues, but now you can be excited to take all of your new knowledge and tools with you!

When ketamine is administered in a controlled medical setting by a properly trained and licensed clinician using established methods, it is very safe. Ketamine is the only anesthetic that does not suppress the body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
When used recreationally, or outside of a controlled medical setting, ketamine use can have very serious adverse effects.

Ketamine is used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, especially those that have a neuropathic component, such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).

Most recent research shows that some possible, short-term side effects may include headache, anxiety, dissociation, nausea, and dizziness.
