Ketamine infusions have gained attention in recent years as a potential treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. But what is ketamine, and how does it work?
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in medical settings for decades. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain, leading to a trance-like state. Ketamine is typically administered through an IV infusion and can produce effects within minutes.
One of the key benefits of ketamine infusions is that they have been shown to be effective in treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD, even in cases where other treatments have failed. Ketamine infusions can help to alleviate symptoms such as sadness, hopelessness, and feelings of worthlessness associated with depression. They can also help to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
In addition to its benefits for mental health conditions, ketamine has also been shown to have potential benefits for cognitive function. Ketamine infusions have been used to treat cognitive rigidity, a condition characterized by a fixed way of thinking that can interfere with problem-solving and decision-making. Ketamine infusions have also been shown to promote cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to change thinking patterns and adapt to new situations.
Ketamine's effects on the brain are thought to be due to its ability to promote neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt and change in response to new experiences, while neurogenesis is the process of generating new neurons in the brain. Ketamine has been shown to promote both of these processes, which may explain its potential benefits for mental health and cognitive function.
When it comes to dosing, ketamine is typically administered at sub-anesthetic doses, meaning that the patient remains conscious throughout the infusion. The dosage is determined based on the patient's weight, medical history, and other factors. It's important to note that ketamine infusions should always be administered by a qualified healthcare provider in a safe and controlled environment.
While ketamine infusions have shown promise as a treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, it's important to note that they are not a cure. Ketamine infusions should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapy and other forms of treatment. Additionally, ketamine infusions may not be appropriate for everyone, and patients should talk to their healthcare provider to determine if ketamine is a good option for them.
It's also important to note that ketamine infusions can have potential side effects, such as dissociation, dizziness, and nausea. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, but it's important for patients to be aware of them before undergoing ketamine infusions.
In conclusion, ketamine infusions have shown promise as a treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Ketamine's ability to promote neuroplasticity and neurogenesis may explain its potential benefits for mental health and cognitive function. However, ketamine infusions should always be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, and patients should talk to their healthcare provider to determine if ketamine is a good option for them. If you're considering ketamine infusions, it's important to do your research and find a qualified healthcare provider who can guide you through the process safely and effectively.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Psychedelics definitely have the potential to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, they really helped me.
I’ve been looking to try out shrooms. Anyone knows where I can source some?
dr.scottshrooms is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
He's on instgram??
Yes
I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.
I suffer from MDD/PTSD. I tried ketamine for the first time last spring.
Immediately started to cry with happiness.
The world suddenly shifted to love and compassion.
I reflected on why I was suffering and felt grateful that there’s so many beautiful people in my life.
It’s truly a miracle drug but must absolutely be respected.
I am so happy to hear about your positive experience. I really appreciate your respect for the power of this medication 🙏
Where do you get it? Asking for a friend. 😂😂
@@skipdog9912
Did you watch the video? Contact this doctor. It has to be prescribed. You can get it illegally from a drug dealer, but purity is risky.
I just tried KETAMINE for the first time. I felt as if i was in the center of the universe. I didn't go crazy after such an extreme experience. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, I would love to feel same man , how do you source em
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
YES, dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
hm. Can dr.perryshroom dispatch to me in LA?
I had Ketamine in the e.r. when I broke my ankle in 3 spots with dislocation. I felt safe with the all the nurses and doctors around, so I was able to enjoy my trip while they reset my ankle. I experienced such a profound sense of peace and believe it has had a hugely positive impact on my mental health since.
While I'm sorry that you had to go to the emergency room for your broken ankle, it's so amazing to hear your experience and to share that with others
I had beneficial effects that lasted weeks and it’s given me a new view of depression, and anxiety disorders
I also broke my ankle (plates,screws) It was one year ago almost to the day. Still not right. I also was given Ketamine to set the ankle. It was the most terrifying experience I ever had. I had many hallucinations. I was in a tiny box (VERY CLAUSTROPHOBIC!) Someone was saying “you’re going to die!” Coming out of it was a nightmare too. I don’t what dose is proper, but I was given 50 ml. Perhaps lower does are very beneficial for therapy. Sorry for the long story
@@aprilsigns4175
Now that’s a horrible reaction! Just shows
we react different to medications.
@@MedicalSecrets Actually I do think that ptsd is caused by the JC virus triggering the 5ht2a receptors. Thats why serotonin releasing agents, agonists of the 5ht2a and antagonists of it are very effective. High stress will deplete serotonin, and and the competitive affinity of the virus will make it bind to the receptor, due serotonin depletion. This creates thought loops and stress that can be diagnosed as ptsd. The same way that the 5ht2a agonists can create thought loops. what do you think? Maybe pure antagonists of the 5ht2a receptors without being agonist at any receptor, like mitrazapine or cyproheptadine might be the ideal solution to this sindrome? Maybe because K agonizes this receptor( and displaced the virus from its place via competitive affinity) wiith but does not stimulate any other is that because it is such a good thing? Serotonergic receptor stimulation for way too much time might deplete serotonin. Maybe because after stimulating massively 5ht2a receptors with mmvsshiezz these (the receptors) close for 2 weeks thats why it is so effective? You dont have to have multifocal leukoencefalopathy to have a mild jc virus infection, specially when most of the population was infected at some point and at battlefield conditions eventual and transitory inmunosupression is likely to occur, and this makes it to migrate to the nerves and trigger them. Idk my opinion and 2 cents. What do you think doc?
Psilocybin containing mushroom are just amazing with so many health benefits. Helped me overcome my life long addiction to cigarettes and alcohol. Also saved me from mental health issues. Never had a bad trip.
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out it's been the best remedy I've ever had. Psilocybin being illegal is actually a crime against humanity!
After doing some research on the psilocybin benefits, I honestly want to get into shroom microdosing but it's just so hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Hey man I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms
was addicted to what i called a trifecta Meth, Opium, Alcohol. I also suffered severe depression i went to a party and consumed about 2 eights of shrooms i was lost in my head for 2 days but when i came back my depression and addiction to my trifecta was gone. I didn't realize it at the time. The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have good permanent results
Hey @Williams how do I reach out 🙏? Can I find him on insta
I recently had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. The months before the surgery I was focused on worldly things preparing for it, and had no time to process my feelings about it. When I woke up from the anesthesia, I immediately knew exactly where I was and why. And I burst into tears. Huge sobs that I couldn't stop for a kind of long while. The nurses said it was the ketamine that caused that. If that's the case, it unblocked some emotions that are pretty important to express. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I think that went a long way to my being more at peace with what happened.
I hope you're going to be okay
They shoulve given it to.u before the op. I'm pretty sure it probably cures cancer if it does all this.

I’m sorry you went through that. Hope your well. 😊
I did the same thing have a much lesser procedure than you. I felt embarrassed but interesting to know what might have caused it. Good luck to you.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress.. Saved my life.

Th e trips I've been having have really helped me a lot, I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have a lot more empathy as well

Saw reviews about Mr Winston , checked him out and be I must say he is very good at what he does and his products are pure.
*Status epilepticals is when a person has Seizure that last longer than 5 minutes....
Refactoring status ellipticals ( R.S.E) is a sever disease that can cause brain damage and death..
A 2015 study. Found that ketamine may effectively treat R.S.E*
Research has shown psilocybin to have potential to treat a range of psychiatric and behavioral disorders.
started microdosing mushrooms in place of my prescriptions and the difference is night and day in my mental health and my anger i feel like ive become a better person best decision ive ever made wish it was more accessible to those that need
Taking shrooms was 100% one of the most important experiences in my life. Everything has changed since my trip - I perceive - things differently.
Been looking to try shrooms
how do you get yours ?
I felt my head buring real hot but I wouldn't let go. The trip I got from dr.garyshrooms was awesome, everything around me was blurring and I was coming back into reality a lot slower this time than every other time.

I got Covid end of 2019 and was so sick I thought I would die. I then developed horrible anxiety and agoraphobia. Luckily I was able to retire instead of getting the shot when mandates rolled out at work. I then rarely left the house and had groceries delivered and waited until after dark to get my mail out at the curb. Adrenal dumps every morning upon waking and at every stupid little sound were just terrible.
I researched and found an on line Ketamine doctor and they started me at 150 mg trouches every 3rd night. After a couple months my dose was increased to 400 and I hit my first K-hole. Scared the crap out of me and I honestly thought I had died. Did that a few more times and ended up quitting the treatment. Just couldn't do that anymore. But...one day very soon after I woke up and I was healed. I got in my car and ran some errands. I felt so free! It's been 6 months and I am still cured. I honestly believe Ketamine works miracles.
Interesting. Hope you enjoy life fully from now on.

My 42 year old sister was scheduled for ketamine treatment in 2018 to treat her extreme depression. Sadly, she took her own life before we could get her there (200 miles away). We always wonder if it might have saved her life. 🥺
So sad. Sorry for your loss of your sister.

I’m so very sorry for your loss 😢
Heartbreaking. I'm very sorry for your loss. 😢
😢 I’m so sorry for your loss, just heartbreaking
Ketamine has greatly improved my life.
I suffer from C-PTSD, major depressive disorder and anxiety, along with herniated and bulging discs on multiple levels of my vertebrae.
This disability has cost me my career in law enforcement, loss of family members and so much more.
I have been receiving IV ketamine (titration over 45 min) for ~5 years now and it has substantially improved my life function. I average a treatment once every 90 to 120 days.
Unfortunately, it is not covered by insurance and it is expensive, especially for someone who depends on SSDI as the only income.
I must budget and sacrifice for the treatment but it affords me some peace and some short term pain management as a bonus.
This should be covered by insurance for all
Also, I also seem to find that propofol when given for treatment of my spine issues, it is like a booster for my infusion
I wished it was covered. Sounds like something I need. I also am being treated for disc damage. Mine from arthritis ( DDD) it’s called. Along with arthritis in both my knees and shoulder. I’m stuck in my bedroom most of the day and that part maybe why I see psychiatrist.
If you are dependant, how can it be good? 🤔 It either cures or not. And Ketamine just makes you hang in there, it seems.
Charles, I 100% understand where you are coming from. I had to give up the work I once loved, due to severe DDD, the RA that has wreaked havic on my joints, the spinal stenosis, the SI joint problems, no cushion in my disc's in my cervical and lumbar, it is just bone on bone, the constant pain, at times have made me want to end my life😢 trying to get help, and the druggies ruined it for chronic pain patients like myself, so we have to suffer. I struggle everyday, but I get up and push. If a person with chronic pain is trying to better their lives, and want to be able to work, because we definitely aren't getting rich on SSDI, insurance companies should be paying for this, or rather ANYTHING that would help us to prosper in life. It is a very sad way to treat well deserving people!
Same situation. 7 spine surgeries have ruined everything and taken what was most important to me. Maybe I should consider a 2nd attempt at this treatment. I didn't think it was worth continuing after four total treatment days.
Ketamine infusion theraphy saved my life. Straight up. Look into it if you are depressed and not getting better folks
Out of six infusions I had one, scary, experience. I realized it was part of the process afterwards and was able to continue psychedelic therapy. It's been the most important journey of my life.
I'm 6 infusions and two ceremonies into this, and in better mental health than at any time in the last 20+ yrs, potentially much longer.
I’m so so happy for you. All the very best! ❤ unfortunately we can not get it here where I live. Many major depressive episodes and treatment resistant. Life has not tough. I hope that these treatments become more readily available for the population to try, we really need to take these drugs seriously as they are life changing for some, isn’t that a great thing…. Take care and all the best! :)
Scary experience as in old fears came up which you had to face?
Ketamine helped me ween off of benzodiazepines after nearly 2 decades of steady, daily use. I also haven’t had a drink in almost a year! Therapy, medication, meditation and having set clear goals have all been life changing for me. I have CPTSD and I’m finally loosing my fear of fear at age 41. I’ve been on about every anxiety and depression medication under the sun since age 13. This helped like no other. The infusions were a bit intense for me, but the troches under the tongue made the difference- being more subtle..I’d recommend giving it a try! Best of luck! 😎❤️👍
Congratulations! Those benzos are a bitch. About to start ketamine therapy soon for CPTSD soon after the paperwork is all done. ( I’m also 41).
You mean ativan?
What dosage?
Also quitting benzos while using ketamine (at home lozenges prescribed by a psychiatrist, no mindbloom for me!). I’ve only had minor benzo withdrawal symptoms, thinking about speeding up my taper.
Before ketamine I was an insecure person who had goals in life but always lost focus on them. Ketamine helped me focus and understand that life is what you make of it. I’ve had “bad trips” but even the bad trips have been substantial. The way I would describe Ketamine the best is you go through multiple layers of the brain, trying to understand where you went wrong and then focus on what needs to be done to get better.
Isn’t it similar to lsd or other psychedelics? Ive entered into a similar state on 90mg of mdma… mdma has also healing potential when used with healing intentions.
Sounds more like LSD but either way good for you. LSD and Ketamin helped me tremendously with healing my mind and soul.
I've never had a bad trip on LSD, but a couple of times the feeling of losing control on ketamine made me feel anxious. LSD and Ketamine are totally different experiences not even comparable in my opinion.@@KingKong_CH
That is so similar to how I would describe it mate! It’s so breathtaking not thinking anyone would understand, then coming here and reading these types of comments.
I was a massive coke, drink ect addict. I’d take anything that had an effect, except Ket.
It came to a point last year I lost everything, my relationship with my daughters mother, access to my baby girl, friends, pushed family away. I was a narcissistic,horrible depressive drunk who dug myself into a hole and healed myself by abusing my body rather than seeking help or waking up.
July 2023, a switch flipped, in the North East of England, pretty much anywhere in the UK, you can get pretty much anything quicker than you can get a pizza if you know people.
I got some K, having tried it as a teenager and hating it, and I was pretty nervous but I had nothing to lose, I heard vaguely of the benefits and thought I’d self medicate.
JAN 2024 and I’ve literally beat alcohol, coke and cannabis addiction (or moreso I can pick and choose when I want, which was something I could never do)
I have written almost 2 books of journals of my PTSD, History, piecing together why from a kid I ended up where I was as a teen, where I ended up at 24-25 ect, not something I even planned to do, it just shows the miracles K can do, the way you describe it is so accurate.
If I could put it as simply but as easy to understand as you have, I’d say it’s almost asif the K was with me, supporting me on my journey, understood me and instilled a sense of belief and in my view, god in me, it made me unpick my brain, tackling each issue with every experience, some were HORRIBLE, but not in the way they made me uncomfortable, they were just dark trips which benefited me by unveiling nasty truths I’d hidden from my own conscious.
Like anything in excess it’s bad, but K, to me, someone who actually couldn’t stand the stuff not even a year ago, I now truly believe it’s a miracle cure. NOTHING the doctors could have given me would have fast tracked me to where I am today.
I have gained 2 qualifications to work in certain industries on good money during the time I’ve been self medicating with K, resolves family issues and lost a beer belly, all in 6 months!
I still worry about the effects on my liver/bladder/kidneys, but for what it done for my mental health, which was borderline daily suicide, I am just relieved at last!
@@TehDawgI am so happy for you! It’s been 5 months since your post. How are things now?
You are changing my mind about this fear of this treatment. Thank you. You are one in a million doctors who really take the time to explain.
I'm chronically ill and have severe pain. I got ketamine nasal spray from my doctor. I use it for severe pain and flare ups. I take 2 puffs an hour and it is really helping me get my pain under control.
I learned a lot about ketamine, it’s awesome how you give 10 to 20 milligrams of ketamine! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy! You rock man
You just gave me hope from my chronic illness. Can’t thank you enough! 💙
That is incredible to hear! I am rooting for you!

@@debrabrashears1392I’m so sorry to hear that. Reading many comments here, and it looks like there are lots of offers on how to get a number of illegal drugs. Nothing like promoting addiction.
Ketamine has been life changing for me, treating CPTSD, TRD...and I was sooo hesitant to tell my parents I was giving it a go, but when I finally did, my dad said "when I got burned they gave me a lot of ketamine. I rode a lot of space rockets. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's why I don't have PTSD from the accident ...all the ketamine they gave me over months and years in the hospital". I was mind blown, but I think it opened me up more to believe it could make a difference.

Was misdiagnosed with Clinical Depression for years until I saw an amazing psychologist who realised what was going on and am currently undergoing trauma therapy (EMDR) for C-PTSD & we're hoping it has a knock on effect to help my Agoraphobia. I've also had Fibromyalgia, M.E, Trigeminal Neuralgia, and several other painful conditions for the last 20+ yrs, which are disabling but managable with medication. This video has given me hope that there is another line of attack if all else fails. So thank you ❤

I had 3, 3 hour sessions of EMDR over 10 yrs ago and my PTSD is about 90 percent better. Amazing. Now I'm working on depression and starting Spravato soon. I hope your EMDR is effective as it has been for me.
I had my fifth treatment today. It's been a miracle for me. I was as far down as you can go before y'know. After years of suffering I finally have had moments of peace. I still have work to do, and at least 3 more treatments. I wish some I'd lost would have had a chance to try this treatment. Maybe they'd still be with me.
@@ramseynancy3365 Has it been beneficial for you? What has it helped with?
Great to hear an anaesthetist ( the Australian name as u know) giving such great insights into holistic psychopharmacology. Firstly, you’re explaining what u see of the inner self revealed by anaesthetics and emphasising the central importance of this. I absolutely love the story of you stopping the protocol and having a serious conversation with the orthopaedic surgeon about the loneliness and depression of the patient, and how this was relevant to whether the procedure shd go ahead then. Talk about risking serious unpopularity…. Secondly, u know how helpful ketamine can be. You are a great source of optimism even for clinicians like me.
As a counselor, it can be so helpful for treatment resistant depression as you said, a lifesaver for many!
You are an AMAZING human being. Wise, empathetic, medically progressive, and deeply informative. Bless you so much.
I am very open minded when it comes to anything for my pain. I live in pain 24 hours a day seven days a week. I have severe cervical dystonia and chronic pancreatitis from a gallbladder surgery that caused my bile duct to have a blockage. If I could just go 10 minutes without pain, I really think it would make a difference in my life. I was given ketamine in the emergency room, but all I remember is I felt like a robot lol. I think I have medical depression and PTSD. My cervical dystonia was caused from a nausea medication given to me. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired and it would be great to have some help feeling better.
Go to a naturopathic doctor
@@IAmWithinEverything what do they do?
I can relate exactly for 24 7 pain, heard success rate of this for Chronic pain is only about 40 % bur may be worth trying, here it's about 2500 out of pocket though
I get Ketamine Infusions every 4 months for pain management. I have nerve damage to my central nervous system and spine damage. Ketamine infusions have helped alot. Australia has different protocols to USA. I get 650mg non stop over 7 days. That is refilled every 24 hours.
Thank you so much. I’ve been scared but I’m excited to move forward a giant step in my treatment of CPTSD.
Awesome content! Was always afraid of this topic but so cool to learn more
I am a shaman, I have a connection with many healing plants, but I also support the use of ketamine.... many of my fellow medicine providers shun the use of synthetics expessally ketamine as a taboo, but I find it to be extremely useful in shamanic shadow work. I have huge respect for this molecule and wish it didn't have the negative stigma of a dangerous party drug. If you have the opportunity to try it, do so in the privacy of a safe environment and micro-dose it. Also do not expect every experience to be the same. It is best to regard it as a sacred ritual, and only used periodically. You quickly build a tolerance for it, and it can become habit forming. Respect it, and it will give you treasure.
Any suggestions for severe back pain Mr Shaman
You just talked me out of trying this for my chronic pain

"I am a shaman," yeah, right, and I'm the Emperor of China. Just another self deluded nut job.
It's amazing to me how so much of what is said about mental illnesses always sound so familiar
We don’t know how it works or what it exactly does but we know it’s safe. Spoken like a true medical professional lol.
This is quite fascinating. I was involved with 2 therapists who gave ketamine IM which was preceded by 2 psychedelics. Different situations of course but I still think of ketamine with great respect and something like kindness or a friendly relationship. The experiences have stayed with me all of the years since. Listening to your explanations which again I find fascinating I find I am somewhat tapping into the memories. Thanks for your video.
I definitely want to look into this for my depression
Thank you
I wish more doctors knew about this. Stage 4 CKD, Fibromyalgia, Gout and Arthritis. SO MUCH PAIN. I Want this help.
You give such rich explanations relating mental health states and anesthesiology.
Enlightening! Unfortunately we MUST come up with other ways to help us with constant pain. I’m not complaining, because I am BLESSED. I have CPRS, the pain is unbelievable. After all the nerve blocks I was allowed, pain medication is my only way to cope. The problem is trying to fill a prescription.I’ve been shunned, and eyes rolled at me from many Pharmacists. One actually told me I should try a different medicine. I feel like a street drug addict. I only take enough to control this pain. NEVER the amount I’m prescribed, it takes a huge emotional toll as well. No one can see nerve pain, I look fine, my own family members have poked fun at me!
After listening to this vide to the end, I don’t think it’s for me, but for anyone it helps… hooray!
Thank you for this video,

I was off the chain and was having hallucinations like living a nightmare upon waking up from surgery.😮
I have been dealing with a neuropathy (crps1) started receiving ketamine infusions and was able to get off all other pain medicines. I take low-dose oral at home and it helps with deep meditation every morning to keep my pain to a point that I can be reasonably productive . I guess my question is why don't insurance companies cover these procedures for ketamine clinics.
My good friend is going to be doing Ketamine therapy tomorrow. I'm going with to help him feel safe and supported. Really proud of him for being proactive about his mental health.
Jason, may I ask how your friend is doing two weeks later? I have a good friend going in for Ketamine treatment too.
@@crh251 Unfortunately, we had to delay it. He was self-medicating and went to a treatment center to get clean first. I feel like it's probably important to go into something like this completely sober.
Thank you for the informative video doctor!
would love to see you talk about the data behind the treatment.
Aside from HRT, Ketamine IV infusions have easily been the greatest improvement to my mental health. I didn’t expect either the initial/immediate improvements or the slower effect that began 3 months later. It’s $ and not always easy to find but for me it was a life saver.
I love hearing that it truly helped you. I want to try ketamine with my psychiatrist and my insurance covers the cost of the meds, but his office visits are $400/each!! I suffer from severe, recurring major depressive disorder and C-PTSD from a lifetime of horrible tragedies/death. I buried two husbands by age 32 and that isn't even half the story. Where does one find affordable ketamine treatments? I see online facilities that offer to send to your home and video sessions but that seems dangerous to me and/or ineffective because they most likely do not send proper doses to people at home.
I’d understand your comment
I got some at an affordable price, and it’s also discreetly delivered

Hi Dr. Kaveh! Ready to learn.
Very informative, loved it.
Anxiety is gaslighting one's self. Ruminating is also a concequence of narcissistic abuse. I have C-PTSD from narc abuse. I would love to be treated with K by you. I love that tesseract painting!

How extremely interesting! I think this would be perfect for my 40-year-old daughter! Saying she is "stuck" describes her situation exactly. Are these clinics in most states? I'd like for her to find one. As I was listening to you, it was like you were referring to my daughter. You described her situation exactly. I also suffer from overwhelming pain, basically from my neck down so I think this would be beneficial for me too.
sorry to know that,I soffer pain,is Chronic,39 years im 72 it is bad_
thanks to God im not working,but stil horrible
Very glad to come across this channel .
I did ketamine on my last birthday, the week after was my most productive, most forward pushing of my life. I get why now, and although I wouldn't recommend it loosely, I can testify for the mindset change claims. I'm a new guy now.
My youngest brother Leslie committed suicide age 16. My oldest brother Monty overdosed on heroin. My brother Dale, (the middle child with me) intensionally overdosed on fentanyl. My mother has schizophrenia and is now in a nursing home. Over the years I have tried everything for depression with no relief. At age 65, I feel life will never be worth living but I still hang on. Maybe had my mother been treated for her illness years ago, my three brothers may still be alive. I would love to try ketamine but it's not covered my medicare.
Why?
Not even feel better once?
Talk to a psychiatrist they can prescribe a ketamine troche that can be made at a compounding pharmacy. It is reasonably affordable. Good luck
It sure is on track for being approved.
I had EXCELLENT results after years of intolerable chronic pain from Cancer.
I had two experiences about 8 months ago and have been almost pain free for the entire time. My children (adults) are amazed and happy.
Now I am traveling to see my grandchildren and loving my life.
I LOVED the entire experience because I have very little fear and no anxiety. I know... Lucky me.
I am 63 and it has given me my life back.
Medicare in on track to first approve the nasal spray and then the treatment.
Gosh, Megan. That's brutal!
I’ve been getting Ketamine intra nasal infusions (Spravato) since October due to drug resistant depression. It’s been wonderful.

Thank you for your videos. You present a very balanced view of Ketamine therapy. I have completed 3 sessions and looking forward to session 4. I am under the supervision of a board certified anesthesiologist who works closely with a therapist to integrate the experiences.
In only 3 infusions, I have seen more progress for my depression and PTSD than I have in over 40 years of traditional therapy! I also have chronic pain from degenerative disc disease and hope that my body will respond better to the pain (I know that Ketamine will NOT stop mechanical pain).
It's definitely not a magic bullet, but used in the appropriate settings can really benefit those of us who have suffered for decades with the dark cloud of depression and PTSD.
This was so interesting. Hopefully someday I'll be able to try this treatment.
Thank you I learned a lot
I swallowed part of my lozenge and had that bad trip that he described that made me feel like I was permanently disconnected from my body. I'm experienced with psychedelics and I couldn't handle it.

Thank you so much for the knowledge I appreciate you ❤
Absolutely Fascinating ❤❤❤
I never knew they used ketamine in surgery. Every interesting. I don’t know what they used back in the eighties, it left you nauseous for a half of a day! Propofol and the cocktail you use is so much more gentle! I usually wake up still in the OR. I start dreaming then some noise will wake me up. In a month or so not sure going to have more surgery. I had the Holep procedure, and then had a dilation for a urethra stricture. I still have two structures so I’m going to have a urethroplasty done in a month or so hopefully it will take care of the strictures.The video is very interesting thank you.
I broke my ankle in Dec. They gave me ketamine to reset my ankle. They said I wouldn't remember anything. But I remembered quite a lot. I thought I was dead and I couldn't move or talk. And I did feel the ankle adjustment and then someone kept pressing down on my leg. But the absolute worst was the feeling of being dead. I know my eyes were open and I must have looked terrified. I never want to take ketamine ever ever again.
I did 6 treatments-plus 2 more a few months out-the last one was a K-hole! But I pressed the call button and was brought back. Did not like that one! But it’s been 8 months-still no depression and off medication. It worked!
What you said about the bad trip sounds exactly like my vivid dreams. I'm told both my Seroquel or my blood sugar may be the cause
You are brilliant I am learning more about the meds you use on people brilliant ❤❤

I've gone through IV ketamine treatment for Dysthymia and treatment resistant double depression. For almost a year before I started the treatment I had severe crippling panic attacks multiple times a week, I had been on multiple medications for over 3 years (SSRI, SNRI, the works), and I was getting quite hopeless for anything to actually do anything useful, and tho not quite ready to give up on myself or life, I was getting to a state where I didn't want to really do anything to help either, knowing I'd fall back in a few days during some severe panic attack. Talking with my Psychiatrist the ketamine route became really clear quite quickly. My wife and I luckily had some money set aside, which allowed us to fly to the US and get proper treatment.
Tho I didn't see much change at first, my wife told me later she saw improvement instantly, but didn't want to say anything about it, afraid it would be detrimental to the progress. I started feeling better after about 4 treatments. It was odd, my brain started making connections it hadn't before, and in the days after every treatment I found myself pondering life in a much healthier way and coming to insights that for some reason I didn't want to see before.
It's now about 10 weeks after my very first infusion, and 6 weeks after my last. My mind hasn't been this healthy in a long time and I've found myself wanting to do more things. I haven't had a single panic attack in 10 weeks. Most of all, I had to re-learn a lot of emotions. People feel sad sometimes, and I totally forgot that. I was living in such a sad and dark place, I didn't realize that bad feelings don't have to last. Don't get me wrong, it's not a fix all, and my dysthymia is still there, creating a black lining where others might see a silver one, but it has allowed me to actually build a bit of a life again and trust that there is help, and that, in the end, this too shall pass.
This is awesome!
Ketamine is amazing! I love it! It’s helped me significantly🙏🙏🙏
Great video I'm interested and would absolutely respect the process and would love to have that good trip 💯
I had such a bad experience with ketamine that it still unnerves me when I think about it. It took me months before I could talk about it without getting upset. Dr. office called me next day to make sure I tell future Drs to never give it to me agat
@Mary Guth
The same here...i'm still dealing with emotions at 5 months and when I start to think of what could have happened and my family wouldn't have known it does something to me deep inside.
My daughter almost died under anesthesia with ketamine
Ditto I felt like I was on LSD and hallucinating for days after.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and never let anyone gaslight you about it.
Bad trips exist, even under ideal circumstances, and acknowleding that can be really important for people who had a bad experience.
I hope you are feeling better by now. ❤
I had ketamine after my colon surgery and hated it. It did zero for pain and gave me hallucinations. Never again.
Had terrible hallucinations after surgery even days after returning home it's alerted on my chart never give again!
Ketamine or Spravato treatments saved my life from severe opiate addiction and morbid depression…….
Wow, your knowledge is amazing. Thank you for your videos. This video hit me in a good way!

I've got every anxiety, and I've tried medications that are supposed to help. They all either are scarily addictive, and/or make me feel like a zombie. It sucks, but I ended up deciding the cure was worse than the disease, if you will. This is very interesting to me, I've been hearing about psychedelics being useful for this, and the more I've looked into this, the more I feel like not trying this would a terrible decision.
do it. i would be happy to share my own experience and advice. i have quite a bit in this area and have guided hundreds through their journey into themselves. it will reset you.

I was given ketamine coming out of surgery in a plastic surgery office operating suite(he wasn't supposed to have). The nurse had the bluest eyes and I could read her mind clearly. The office furniture/chairs were dragging themselves around the waiting room like in beetlejuice. I did feel very good mentally afterwards. I could have used more.
I have extremely aggressive endometriosis (2 significant surgeries one of which was 10 hours, included a vats and diaphragmatic dissection). I received ketamine in a pain clinic in Toronto once. It scared me that I was pain free for the first time in my life. It reset my pain management tolerance and I restarted at a low dose of tramadol with my local pain dr after (I was taking lots of tramadol and oxycodone). If I wasn’t so afraid of the feeling of being so pain free I would have continued. The Dr was great but I didn’t feel like I deserved that feeling or that it was real. It was so incredible. I was so afraid of addiction or dependence. I wish this video was available at that time. Thank you for opening the dialogue for those of us who suffer silently. In Canada most Drs won’t take the time to actually explain the medicine so I didn’t understand what I was taking/feeling or how it was working. Also here when you receive a ketamine infusion they leave you alone in the room, once the iv is done the nurse does vitals and you go home. You don’t see the dr after at all. It’s crazy how different you explain it.
Thanks! I’d guess that Ketamine clinics with your orientation are rare-is there any tool to find one?
I am just about to have a week long ketamine subcutaneous infusion in hospital. I have it for migraines but it Is also very helpful for depression. I have 2 a year. It’s a shame that more people cannot access it in a clinical setting.
I am too Emily , once I get over the really bad COVID I just had, I’m having it for RA and fibromyalgia, would love to hear how you go

I really appreciate your explaining these benefits. I suffer from chronic pain, PTSD, and glaucoma that causes migraines and certainly appreciate this information and hope to find a professional near me who can administer the treatment!
I'd appreciate your comment, and sorry for your chronic pains ♥️

I hope you found a nice center. I love mine, I consider the nurse who started it to be an actual angel.
I'm using ketamin 97% from the DW and it helps me so much with my depression.
I have nasal spray ketamine on-hand for hemiplegic migraines (basically stroke like migraines - I get seizures during my hemiplegic migraines too 😢)
It helps to stop the pain and panic. It’s compounded by a pharmacist and is only $60 without insurance (have a prescription from my doctor, of course).
When you mentioned minimizing risk of future ketamine abuse, can you please give more information on how that happens and how to avoid it? Maybe tell us statistics on patients who become addicted and or are likely to abuse the drug after using it therapeutically?
High ons abuse it
My guess is that the more you are able to be present with your full range of emotion, the less likely you are at risk. And the more you tend to numb them out, the more you are prone to addiction.
What a promoter! Stunning :D
Lovely stuff.
Im not addicted i just really really taking it....
Do you believe medical insurance will cover these sessions? For CPTSD/TRAUMA, DEPRESSION, Cognitive distortion ect. Would save lives and be less costly in the end than what is available now. Am I correct? Great video - again! Thank you.
You are absolutely correct that these can be very powerful, especially compared to conventional medications. Will insurance cover them? In some fashion they eventually will, but insurance has never done a good job of covering holistic treatments
Mine did!
@@Ivearted wow really? That’s amazing.
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

I had to get an injection in my neck last year. The anesthesiologist used Ketamine. I had never had it before that time even though I have had several surgeries over the years. Anyhow, I woke up and was seeing double in the recovery room. I had bed spins and double vision for the next 2 weeks after that procedure. It was horrible. I hope to never have that used on me again and its now noted in my chart. I also did not do well with propofol. I just couldn't wake up and was also hallucinating. Did I mention I was a redhead as a child? I don't know if that's caused some of my issues over the years with anesthesia, but I don't think it helped me. I really enjoy your videos, thank you!
k holes are very desirable for some. Absolutely fascinating experience, and leaving the familiar idea of the body and then returning to it is very educational. However, this experience becomes less available with tolerance. One chases the dragon and then finally gives up the search. Sometimes the hole arrives again, but this can't be predicted. So then one can explore the details of the experience instead of achieving the goal. One can develop a relationship with ketamine that allows for meta-analysis and after the initial honeymoon period of fascination it can be an occasional place to return to or one can just remember that the everyday idea of our body is only an idea. This process has been helpful in other areas of life for many people
I am prescribed low doses of ketamine for my CRPS by my doctor. I find it helps alleviate some of my pain.
Because of crps does it help
Also do you take pill form please help I have this and PTSD very badly
Hi can you let me know I have CRPS PTSD very bad case
Hey doc...I'm so "immune" to pain meds from chronic pain and antidepressants seem to make me worse. Just asking for an opinion or studies..would Ket..help me?

Thanks so much for all your information! I have a question please: I have had two IV infusions three days apart. The first was very uncomfortable, where I felt anxious/agitated, and as though I had to catch my breath. The second was earlier today and it wasn't as intense or uncomfortable as the first however, overall not a relaxing or pleasant experience..anxiety, restlessness, agitation. Could this be a normal side effect for some, or possibly a dose that is too low? Thanks!

i wonder if this would benefit our soldiers/military? especially with PTSD diagnosis
A friend of mine is seeing this doctor in the video. He told her that he treats a lot of veterans.
@@crh251 glad to hear. Thank him for me. Our vets are worthy of better care from the system.
I remember hearing of Ketamine being used on soldiers in Vietnam, who had limbs blown off and the like and for PTSD regarding wartime experiences. Wouldn't there have to have been some sort of studies done for PTSD use back then? Isn't PTSD caused by the same brain reactions, regardless of the cause? Provided they ever did any PTSD studies then, then it seems to me PTSD would not be considered an off-label use.
I have depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It seems quite treatment resistant. I am on multiple medications and I feel "stuck." I was thinking of speaking with my doctor about different avenues of treatment. Do you have any data on Ketamine vs. ECT? I know there is also a magnetic brain therapy, but have little info. My biggest concern with ECT is losing some precious memories of loved ones, who have passed on. Do you know if Ketamine affects long-term and short-term memory? I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for up-to-date info!
Doctor Kaveh: love your channel.
Can you tell me if a Ketamine infusion in an infusion clinic would impact ( increase ) Serotonin? ....and if so how long that effect might last on average?
I just did a search and there are no clinics near me. Now I wish I hadn't watched this video because this isn't available to me. I'm so tired of being depressed and feeling less than all the time. I wish this treatment was available to me.
So I did low dose of ketamine treatments about once every week or two with 50 mg and it was great! The two times I did doses over 150 mg resulted in one discomforting trip and 1 horrifying trip where my OCD kicked in harder than it's ever kicked in before as I was coming down and it got so bad I had to call a friend to talk me down because the thoughts of negativity we're so extreme I was literally getting scared for my existence. I was so traumatized by the event I haven't touched ketamine since. I'm actually scared I have PTSD from the experience.
Had similar experience decades ago. Understand. Same.
@@williebeamish5879 So to be fair I did a follow up. Yesterday I went back to a small dose, 1/3 of what I took for the 'bad trip'. It was just fine and I felt good afterwards. I guess it's true, "The dose makes the poison".
@@McDrunkersonI’m so glad for you that you went back and it’s helping you.
You should only use it under the supervision of a medical professional.
Keep talking, Doc! So glad to hear medical people embracing the healing properties of psychedelics. You are addressing mind, body and most importantly, spirit. This open minded approach is so painfully absent in allopathic medicine.
