How Quick is the Onset?
Unlike traditional antidepressant medications that may take weeks to exert their effects, IV ketamine therapy has a relatively rapid onset of action. Some individuals may experience significant improvements in mood within hours or days after a single ketamine infusion. This immediate relief can provide hope and motivation, especially for those experiencing severe depressive symptoms.
Appropriate Therapy?
Ketamine has an FDA indication for the treatment of resistant depression. People who struggle with depression, anxiety, and PTSD have reported improvements after a series of ketamine infusions.

Ketamine is the only legal psychedelic therapy available in Indiana.

It also increases levels of brain-derived neuotropic factor (BDNF), which is thought to be responsible for the neuroplasticity of the brain.

Recommendation
Prior to your infusions, consider setting intentions or goals for each ketamine session. We recommend incorporating music, a meditation app, or something similar to aid in your experience.
