Embarking on a life-changing psychedelic journey with ketamine therapy requires careful consideration of various factors. In this video, we discuss the 8 essential factors you should keep in mind when choosing a ketamine clinic for ketamine infusion therapy, ketamine therapy for depression, and ketamine for anxiety:
Ensure the clinic offers a free consultation to determine if you're a suitable candidate for ketamine therapy. Ketamine treatment for depression and anxiety can be a transformative experience, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. Before committing to the process, make sure the clinic takes the time to evaluate your specific needs and situation.
The clinic should provide a dedicated consultation to learn about your medical history, reduce risks, and set intentions. Proper preparation is vital for a healing psychedelic medicine journey, especially if it's your first time. The clinic should be committed to understanding your background, identifying potential risks, and helping you set clear intentions for your ketamine treatment.
Avoid clinics that leave you alone during your infusion; proper guidance is crucial for a therapeutic experience. IV ketamine infusion can be a powerful tool for personal growth, but only if the clinic provides the necessary support and guidance. Make sure the clinic staff is trained and experienced in guiding patients through their psychedelic journey, ensuring a safe and beneficial experience.
Be cautious of clinics discussing booster sessions as the norm, as expectations can influence your mindset during the journey. While booster sessions can be helpful for some patients, they shouldn't be presented as a standard part of ketamine therapy for depression or anxiety. Having realistic expectations is essential for a successful journey, so choose a clinic that is transparent about the process and potential outcomes.
Look for experienced professionals with critical care training, psychological expertise in psychedelics, and a collaborative approach to care. Ketamine infusion therapy requires a delicate balance of medical and psychological support. Ensure the clinic staff has the necessary training in anesthesiology or emergency medicine, along with expertise in psychedelic medicine and mind-body practices. A collaborative approach to care, where doctors work with your existing healthcare team, can also improve the effectiveness of your ketamine treatment.
Opt for clinics that offer easy access to doctors for support outside of infusion sessions. Feeling supported throughout your ketamine therapy journey is essential, and that means having access to your doctors whenever you need them. Avoid clinics that make it difficult to get in touch with their medical professionals, and prioritize those that encourage open communication and collaborative care.
Ensure the clinic emphasizes the importance of integration for lasting changes and doesn't solely focus on booster sessions. Integration is a critical aspect of psychedelic medicine, particularly in the 24-48 hours following each infusion when neuroplasticity is believed to be at its peak. Choose a clinic that prioritizes the integration process, helping you make lasting changes and avoid becoming reliant on booster sessions.
Don't rush into signing up if you're not ready or if your questions haven't been adequately addressed. Your readiness to begin the journey is paramount, and any apprehensions, concerns, or doubts can impact your healing experience. Be cautious of clinics that pressure you to sign up quickly, and make sure all your questions and concerns are addressed before committing to ketamine treatment for depression or anxiety.
Join us as we explore each factor in detail and provide you with the guidance you need to make an informed decision about your ketamine therapy journey. This video will help you navigate the world of psychedelic medicine and ensure you find the best ketamine clinic for your unique needs.

1. Candidacy…not everyone is a candidate for this tx
2. Preparation…mindset , intention and expectation are essential
3. Guiding….you are trusting yourself to your doctor. You need to make sure you re not being abandonned during the process
4. Expectation…your mindset before you start is a predictor of how it s going to tapping into your inner potential
5. The doctor…board certified anesthesiologist or ER medicine with psychological training/fellowship training, willing to collaborate with the rest of your healing team..the right dose for you to heal. One size is not fit all
6. Access to your doctor …immediately throughout the treatment if needed to be connected. Red flag of no way of reaching after the infusion
7. Integration…you want to integrate this with your mind body and heart. The brain is rewiring during 24-48h, tapping into your inner healing potential so it is as effective as possible and so you do not revert to your previous state
8. Never feel pushed or coverted in this experience. If you have doubts, feel guilty, apprehensions, fear…you will torpedo your ability to tap in you inner healing potential. You need to feel confident and ready about this process. The right people, environment, comforting.

Ketamine, lsd, dmt and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. 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 always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Ketamine infusion saved my life. I will say that to anyone.
Don't eat anything from midnight on, like when having surgery, I find that makes it more effective.
I have had many treatments, it, for me it wasn't a one shot cure. But the most effective treatment was my second one.
This Dr is giving awesome advice.
I'm so happy to hear about your positive experience 🙏
@@MedicalSecrets It should be a go-to tool in psychotherapy pharmaceutical quiver.
I'm me again
@@KD2HJP
That's awesome! Good to hear. 💯👍🏻
Do you mean you had many infusions and the second one was the one that did the most therapeutically, or did you try other forms like sprays or lozenge also.
@@KD2HJPyeah no, nice made up story
I had ketamine as part of my anesthesia. The nurses who sat with me in recovery said that the personality that emerged under ketamine was a very funny, kind person and they loved spending time with me.
For that reason, I've been considering ketamine-assisted therapy for abandonment issues. I am so grateful for this informative video.
If you're having trouble with mental health, talk with your therapist. I'm halfway through the standard 6-8 sessions. I am optimistic about the results.
I do wish I had a more guided provider though.
@Hope Beel oh...? Care to give me a hint of where?
@@Skarrythats a scammer
@Hope Beel where online did you buy the ketamine? 😊
I love this guy. He is the embodiment of empathy.
Agree! He should get some sort of youtube award. Like a big heart ❤️ with a play button. Or more for him a brain with a heart inside then a play button as it is all connected
No he’s after your shekels.
Anxiety & depression are no joke! Ppl suffer greatly. It boils my blood that there are ppl out there who'll take advantage of our desperation to feel better. Scamming anyone with a physical or mental illness is just wrong. These kinds of ppl do exist unfortunately. 😢
Thank you for taking the time to educate us so we don't fall into a trap.
Yes it’s hard to get my head around that. But no matter the vocation - veterinarian, banker, lawyer, realtor, physician, Supreme Court judge - any vocation you can name, the same potential exists for greed, thievery any pathology or evil. I try to go with my head but also my gut. If my gut says no I’m out of there.
Depression is serious. Suicide is serious. DONT screw with depressed people.
I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and 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 alot more empathy as well
@@annemoore4461I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across dradolfpetter a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
@@ryancihet555I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
@@ellaaysun6181Does he deliver to various locations?
I was a psychonaut in my younger years and I'm so glad that the medical community is finally working with psychedelics. Me and my group of friends were trying to do what you're doing now but we obviously didn't have the scientific and medical knowledge needed to do so as effectively. I found what I needed from them 15 years ago and haven't touched them since but I'm happy that other people suffering now have a safe way to get the benefits of psychedelics
Im young and have probably taken 20 or 30 acid tabs, but I'm scared of it now. I have 7 and I've had them for 6 months. Feel like I should take it so that I'm not scared, and so I know what I'm really afraid of because I dont even really know
Lots of psychonauts know more about pharmacology than most doctors, and most of us don't have you tube channels.
John's Hopkins started studying psychedelics in the 1950s (got shut down in the 70s) and started back up in 2000. They have been trying to get psilocybin relcassified to schedule 3 for 20 years. They have found it helps with pain, PTSD, depression, smoking cessation, and lots more stuff. It's stupid that it is illegal
@@Sentient_GooseI was in jail one time and I was talking to a few people about the difference between orally dosing DMT vs inhalation , and I was hitting on the part about needing to take an MAOI inhibitor when taking it orally , and this black guy who was actually a doctor was very impressed that I even knew wtf a monoamine oxidase inhibitor even was
You’re just a damn hippy!!!
Ketamine changed my life. I had major depression for over 40 years. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for 35 years. Over those years we tried everything, every medication and all other treatments except electrical shock, but that was next. My psychiatrist studied up on ketamine and really thought that it might work for me because it works on the brain in a totally different way. I found a really good doctor here in Palm Springs, Ca. After 6 infusions my depression was 100% gone ! It’s now been several months since my last infusion, and I am still doing great. I would suggest that you talk to your doctor and see if it might be a good option for you. There really is no downside.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with health issues like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them but it's just hard to source out here.
I'm feeling the same way too. I put so much on my plate and it definitelv affects mv stress and anxietv levels
I was having this constant and unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across Ted Winston, a very intelligent mycologist, He saved my life honestly.

Calming the neuron receptors, while addressing ones mind, body and soul. I love that you not only treat the illness but the internal spirit of the patient. Thank you for the help you provide to all of us how struggle. Bless you
You are a beautiful soul!!!!! I love that you are actually teaching how to heal oneself cause so many are not aware and most doctor's just write you unnecessary prescriptions im glad i found your channel you rock doc love and light to you!!!!!
Thank you for the kind comments! 🙏
Amen!!!
Love the info you provided it really does change one’s life . Thank you for encouraging people to heal one’s self. I been in trauma informed counseling for a year . Much of the information you share on your channel is accurate. How the mindset is important and get the root causes , all the areas in the brain , system of the body are all connected etc . I have doing the inner work on myself. I live with fibromyalgia. My pain levels have decreased once I started doing the inner work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I get a strong feeling that you sincerely care about your patients. I like that.
I’m going in for a ketamine infusion treatment for 5 days tomorrow. you’ve made me feel so positive about the treatment and my doctor as he has ticked all the boxes you explained. My treatment is for extreme pain in my neck
Thank you for this video. I’m having my first ketamine infusion next week for chronic back and arthritis pain.
Hey doc I hope your interview went well! This information today is priceless, I especially relate to the last 3 “red flags”! Thank you for empowering us with this information, it will surely help us all…
Thanks for this great video and for your ethical standards.
Just wondered what you thought of Spravato? Thanks for the videos!❤
Wow! That’s awesome! I learned a lot
Yup. I switched from a "pretty" ketamine clinic for a doctor that I have access to before, during, & after my infusions.
I use ear buds to play meditation music.
I also bought VR goggles so I can watch pretty Anthony Sommer kaleidoscopes!
Now that I'm 14 months into ketamine treatments ...
I don't go "under" like I used to. It's a bummer.
Truly like this. I practice in L.V and my approach is like as you stated. I have seen amazing healing results from this treatment. Glad we are able to help. Keep pouring healing knowledge.
Very informative. Thank you 🙏.
Thanks for this! I start ketamine infusions tomorrow and this was helpful. I had forgotten about the 24 to 48 hour window.
How did it go?
Perfect information ! Thanks !
My pleasure! I hope you learned something new and feel empowered to advocate for your health 🙏
Very excited that you created this video.
Thanks for this discussion. I have been concerned about being taken advantage of emotionally, physically and financially by this type of treatment. This gives a a good informed education about what to ask about and what to look for when approaching this form of healing.
I had ketamine therapy at a lovely clinic-after I lost my son from suicide (4 years ago) I got through the grief but was left with depression (as a result of PTSD from losing my son) I was aware that my brain was injured and medication, exercise, prayer and grief counseling just didn’t help.
The clinic I went to had very caring staff (all are Christians). They titrated the ketamine very carefully. It took all 6 treatments to cure my depression-and I mean CURED! I had two more treatments several months apart as well-but haven’t needed one in a very long time. The clinic I went to was in Monroe, Michigan. I probably paid about $3200 for the six treatments but was worth every cent! The six treatments were done within two weeks (for best outcomes)
Praying for all that suffer from depression-hang in there! Blessings!!!
Thank you for your video ❤love your channel . I’m exploring other treatments for depression such as trans cranial magnetic therapy , and ketamine treatments . The more knowledge the better . Bless you 🙏
In all the tips you have stated I have checked 8 places so far even though they closed for the weekend, and they all state the same thing. Exactly of all warnings you said. Very sad that there is not one in my area that does what you do so far. Just sad all they want is your money.
I used psychedelics in high school and know they are effective for depression. Can’t wait till this week doing Ketamine treatment. I’ll post after. M.
I get my infusions in South Bend Indiana. Best staff there is! They understand the importance of the attention a patient in that state of mind needs. Some call them “trip sitters” I call them “Grounders”
I wish I had you as my anesthetist for my many operations. I'm in the UK so that isn't going to happen. You seem like an angel.
By the way thank you for all of the very helpful information 😊
Sounds like you need to have taken it in order to administer it. It may also be extremely helpful if the doctor/ was also familiar with shamanic protocol.
I had a double back surgery they fused the first day and gave me a days break, and then after that day ,they put a set of rods in. All that time, I had ketimin going in me. I was talking to the nurse, and everything got weird ,and I blacked out.
I woke up ,and they said my blood pressure had bottom out. I spent two weeks in two different hospitals. One for surgery and one for physical therapy. This was during covid 2020. The worst time of my life, being alone. And facility not being very nice. I was a 70 yr. Old female. I had a couple of back surgeries before and had a very good experience. But this was the worst and the scariest. No more ketimin for me. I am really glad for your channel you are very kind.
So sorry. I had a horrific nightmarish experience when a dentist gave me way too much gas. I was physically paralyzed, I couldn’t talk to ask for help. My eyes were open but I was in some other hellish place. He was an Ivy League trained dentist. He was oblivious to what he was doing to me. I never knew anything like that was even possible with “laughing gas,” as I sure wasn’t laughing. I would never, ever have that stuff again. To me it seems primitive like leeches or ether. anyway. I recent found out that in the UK they are still giving that to women in labor!!! Useless!! Dangerous! I understand your apprehension & I’m so sorry you were alone. I wish I could’ve been with you. I hope your back is doing well.
@rs5570 Thank you ,I can understand your experience and hope you don't have to repeat it. Life is too short to be carrying bad experiences around with us. Thank you for sharing with me.
I am so grateful for this video, the timing was especially good. I am looking into ketamine treatments. Thanks Doctor
Hey I’ll refer you to this specialist who guided me through My Ketamine experience he’s got all kinda psychedelics and ships discreetly to any location ^^^
Arabicastorez 👈👈
i had my first infusion last night. i did not even see the doctor, was alone in the room most of the time and felt like discussing my experience after but nurse told me to take my time and see myself out when felt ready. I wish i would have seen your video sooner.😢
I finally found a good website that explained ketamine and how it can work for several different types of pain. The history of it is kind of interesting too. It can help with fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, chronic pain, traumatic spinal cord injuries, and more. The only ketamine clinic I saw in my city uses it for depression and migraines, not for fibromyalgia or chronic pain.
I'm looking for info for pain also. I've only found info for depression. Care to share a link?
Today no treatment is available for pain patients. Pain has been criminalised, demonised; pts have been used as scapegoats & are uniformly gaslit then treated worse than garbage. Suffering pain pts are thrown into forced medical agony & ignored.
Looking myself here in PA
My beautiful clinic called me today because I had a change in my charting. Looking out for me, top notch compassion. It’s always been my choice of when I am treated which in itself is healing. Boosters where an option, but not required. I needed boosters, still do, but less and less each year. I keep growing and healing. I am currently taking a deep dive into breathwork, which might be my key for not needed it anymore, still it’s nice to know I never have to be in the depths of emotional pain again. I am so grateful for ketamine.
What’s the name of your clinic?
Ketamine wellness of Orange County @@jasonbluvjbs4
So you have to keep PAYING for boosters? So it obviously isn’t working then.
@@wulfsorenson8859 I am not sure how to answer the response to bumblebee5990 because some people don't need any boosters at all after the first 6 infusions but the other thing is you might also need to take steps in your life such as take care of yourself to avoid falling back into depression again. Therapy after you feel good can help with that but also making other positive changes in your life is important. Reset Ketamine channel on youtube provides a list of things you can do to support healing after the infusions. That makes sense. Don't just take the infusions and think you don't have to do any other work besides that. I think it depends on the person and some people will need the boosters but clinics should not say everyone needs them. They need to be careful how they word things. They shouldn't say nobody needs them because some people do. I mean if you don't want to do anything positive in your life and spend more money on maintenance boosters then that is fine. Lori Calabrese, MD also has articles and she said maintenance boosters aren't required in most cases but she also believes in infrastructure changes to support well being.
Thank you for all you do and the help it provides is grand. With that being said can you get a different picture on the wall behind you ? 😢 it makes me dizzy and is afflicting my thoughts of my future ketamine infusion appointments that are beginning on the 17th for the first time. Nvm about the picture if you don't have a different one, I'll just listen instead of watch.
Went to a Ketamine clinic for chronic pain. They just hooked me up to the IV, turned out the lights and left me alone. Sure, my pain was totally gone during the treatment, but came back as soon as it wore off. Secondly, despite the fact that my insurance pays for the therapy and the drug itself (which is rare) they refused to keep on. The thing is, psychedelics have been used for millions of years, but the "guide", or therapist, is the KEY to the therapy working! These people just wanted cash payments, like "legal" drug dealers!
Shrooms are a powerful psychedelic with a long history of recreational, medicinal, and spiritual use worldwide. Still, psychedelics can be unpredictable, and experts advise anyone interested in using them to start with a low dose and seek counseling from a medical professional.
They have made many us of not to believe in our nature(shrooms). Which is real and healthy.
My grandma was diagnosed of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD). I spent thousands of dollars in the hospital, and I was introduced to Charlesmyco who's a mycologist is still like a mystery how she got well.
Mushrooms are magical.
He's on instagram for further inquiries.
I have this with my current clinic. I get a baggie for if I get sick, a call button if I need something, some kleenex, usually I'll ask for water, then they take my blood pressure, give me the spray, and let me do it.
When I'm done self administering, they leave me alone for like an hour and a half, coming in to check on me two or three times.
Then they let me go, as long as I'm not driving.
No guidance, no intention setting, no nothing.
Heard this time and again. The effects wear off after a few weeks then you have to keep paying for more 1000k infusions.
I know some do have backyards some have great experiences it helps them out
Wow thanks for all these informative videos . I’m really learning a lot from these videos . Can you recommend a facility for infusion for depression in Los Angeles . I would follow your guidance . Thank you for the help , knowledge and information you give us all in need . Stay awesome
Yes, I contacted them and they told me that I would need more infusions in 6 to 8 weeks. I don't want to be hooked on that happy feeling. I want to break into my PTSD to get through it.
@@hopebeel8765that sounds dangerous and probably illegal. Be careful
I am interested in a video on the difference btwn ketamine, and psychedelics that are now being used. - difference esp in treatment and outcome for patients. Cost difference would be great but that sounds like to much work for a busy doctor- you do so much amazing stuff for us. We are greatful. You are changing the world every day. From one patient and one click.
I’d appreciate your comment
I got some K infusions and therapy from an online store

I wish I knew about ketamine when I was 11! I had a boil on the back of my leg near my knee really right behind my knee and we went to the doctor to have it treated! Now this is in 1964 and a lot of doctors, just did this kind of treatment in their office he gave me Novacaine around the boil, which was shared torture! I had 7 to 8 people holding me down while the sky cut the boil out of my leg. I was screaming and crying in the pillow! When he got done, I apologize for screaming and crying and he said Steve don’t worry about it I’ve had truck drivers threaten to beat the hell out of me if I touch them one more time with the knife, you did great!
Wow, primitive anesthesia.
I wish this Doctor was with me during my procedures… I have trouble with anesthesia…
Hey! Where’s the video on the ”low“, ”medium“ and ”high“ dose effects?
I'm treating myself with ketamin and it helped me so much being free from depression
how you do that if I may ask? Can you buy it online?
@@lisbethsalander1723 I get it from the dark net. If you don't mind getting K from there then I am happy to assist you.
With respect I agree with almost everything you said, but I feel you focused only on the mental health patients. Treatments and verbiage a patient should be looking for so they don't get scammed is completely different based on their treatment.
I got scammed, 7 day ketamine treatment. The pick line was put in and the nurse started the ketamine and I seen the doctor twice in 6 days. No counselling, no one checking on me without. I seem monsters and could not get help for anyone to stop the treatment until I rang my husband who came in and made them stop my treatment. The hospital was so loud as construction was going on in the room next door. I went in with ptsd and came out with severe ptsd.
You said trips can be a nightmare in certain setting, I would like yo share somthing with you. Most people in the psychedelic community who use them for healing in many ways may have a diffrent thought. Most of the bad/ terrifying experiences, are actually the most healing, also the kind that we learn the most from
This too me was a complete total out of body experience. I didn't know what was real nor did I care. IV therapy was intense
That scares the crap out of me!
Totally off subject, I wish I knew about how powerful frequencies are to our bodies years ago. Being in a dark room and playing the right frequency can do amazing things. It's all going to be natural soon.
What's your view on psilocybin ?
Ah never had a problem with psychedelics experience ever love it and it’s the best, way better then regular mental health pills ever, only New York State unfortunately isn’t into it yet . Psychedelics are great and I’m definitely going to ask if I could try K . Thanks for the info I thought it was bad because I thought of it as to knock out animals but now it sounds great for people therapy. Biggest problem probably OCD hmmm thanks again for the advice.
Thank you for giving more information on what to look for.. I wish you knew someone who was Texas who does what you do in North Texas.
Thank you for the kind comments, I wish I knew more providers there, as well
Where in Texas? I live in Lubbock and hopefully will be going to a place called Denovo Therapy. I'm waiting for an ok from my cardiologist so I can go. It was a requirement from Denovo.

@@lindadove8298 did you search web for ketamine assisted therapy? Are you wanting therapy along with the ketamine infusion? If you don't mind answering me, are you going for physical pain or depression, anxiety, etc? I would strongly suggest therapy with it if for any mental. I already went for the consultation and I think that I need the therapy along with mine. They may do an infusion at first. But was told that I wouldn't be so much in a state to talk. So they want to do the shot(muscular). I have major depressive disorder and general anxiety and possibly PTSD.
In Houston they have Mindscape, I’m thinking about trying
Doc, you convinced me. My home treatment kit arrives tomorrow and I'm praying it does more than what's listed on "the tin". I've tried it all but this ket treatment seems asesome.
Just FYI you made me decide to go with a Persian doctor just as you are, obviously. I'm 100% Persian but I've been in the us for all but the first 6 months of life.... Revolution in your country (overnight!!!) Is crazy.
My parents had to start an all new life in the us. My mom was head nurse at Tehran's largest hospital, and my father was an engineer with dozens working under him.
Imagine having to leave all you worked for behind, with the govt letting you leave with no more than $100....and thats if you're one of the lucky ones.
Edit: for spelling and grammar faux pas
How did it go? I just bought a nasal spray, but I'm afraid to try it.
@@waitaminute2015 I would not hesitate. I took the Troches and so far, so excellent, my friend. I wish you the best in all your endeavors.
@@waitaminute2015 Please make sure to have a comfortable setting, pleasant music, and someone to watch you every now and again. We all want you to come out of this enlightened, I am positive. Good travels, friend.
@@thefatherfintanstack thanks, but that is difficult since I live alone and my loved ones are far away. Do the effects only last for a few hours?
@@waitaminute2015 Yes, just a few hours. It's not anywhere as intense as using recreationally or getting an IV infusion. I dose by myself and have an aunt who did too, and of course I'm no doctor but I really think you'll be fine.
Just let it run it's course before you go out or get up to use the restroom, etc. You don't wanna fall down. Just make sure you can get up properly first and I'm sure you'll be feeling fine.
I got left in a dirty room halfway under construction and random furniture with dirty walls and dust an inch thick on everything with a dirty blanket for all of my k treatments. No guidance just sedation if I panicked. I stopped early just couldn’t do it. I was more anxious and depressed afterwards than any other time in my life.
Thanks!
I am going for a consultation tomorrow but it is not free. He is a board certified psychiatrist and hope I chose well but will see. I have chronic pain but going for severe Depression and anxiety. This really helps to know what to look for. I also had a stroke and many health problems and have to admit that I am scared of how I will react. Scared that it will affect the area of the brain that was damaged with my stroke.

I use low dose naltrexone. I’m quite anxious about ketamine.
LDN can be powerful. What particular anxieties do you have about ketamine?
Sup doc! Serious question for ya. I don’t live in Utah and the only ketamine covered by Medicaid is spravato aka esketamine. The intranasal route, so the “high” isn’t quite as intense. Sometimes I wonder if I did have a more…”oomph” experience, (IV injection) I might have a better outcome in rebuilding that Neuro plasticity that’s been damaged. “Depression,anxiety, ptsd.” I got em all! So my question is, being a ii
Thank you ✌️💞🤟
It seems as though psilocybin therapy is a much more psychedelic, or even spiritual journey, to come to terms with yourself than ketamine. For that reason the treatments are more profound and follow-ups are not as needed to remain in a good state of mind. I wish psilocybin was as accepted and available as a treatment option.
Dr Kaveh,
After listening to you I decided to get off pain medication. However I am not doing well. I live in Missouri. Any resource you could direct me to would be appreciated!
While I am so happy to hear that you are trying to take control of your health, please be sure to do it with doctor supervision so that you are doing it safely. I unfortunately cannot give any medical advice over social media, but I strongly encourage you to connect with your doctor
Is it effective for pain? Retired critical nurse who has been thru 4 spine surgeries..Chronic pain, and on Medical marijuana, which doesn't do much for my chronic pain..
Are you located in NYC? If not how to I choose a ketamine therapist in NYC area. I received an ok from GP & both phycologist and psychiatrist. But since they don't work with Ketamine they are leaving it up to me to find the best place to try a ketamine treatment. (I have don't ketamine years ago but as a party drug. I haven't done it in decades. And I believe it will help me in all that I am dealing with it. I just need to find a safe place to go.
Yes!! 2 minutes in to my first video, I knew I'd like you!
As a provider, I've noticed regardless of what I say, people still expect the medicine to do all the work and ignore the therapy/integration/intention setting and so on. Any suggestions to help people understand all of it?
I noticed that this doctor answers A LOT of questions when he goes live. I suggest turning on notifications and trying to catch one of his lives to ask him. He really does answer all questions and interact with everyone during the live.
My 1st Ketamine treatment was this past Friday & although a very promising modality, I have a real fear of having another cardiac arrest. I had an idiopathic cardiac arrest 8mo ago. Otherwise healthy & active gym goer, but have Left & Right Bundle Branch Blocks, now.
Can you offer any advice Doc? And thank you so much!
Where is this dr. I need him
I will say that Ketamine therapy has saved my life.. I did 6 sessions last year and it fixed a lot of problems for me.. but I do agree 100% that preparation is very important.. and the psychotherapy that comes after.. being able to get the. most out of the session.. But.. after 2 sessions I no longer had insomnia ( I used not to sleep 3 days a week ), no more negative voice in my head.. I used to have 2-3 anxiety attacks and for the past twelve months, I just had one...
Where is your clinic? Does anyone in CA use it for pain covered by the best insurance one can purchase? I’m unwilling to go to a 4th hospital in Mexico.
I don’t think insurance covers them. I am starting my first session in a couple of weeks and I am excited! My Dr. From Carmel , whom is an emergency room Dr prescribed me ketamine lozenges which l I will be taking to my appointment. Wish me luck 🍀
Hello Doctor! I am on disability from Bipolar II. I am skeptical and fearful of any treatments that would interfere with my medications - of which help prevent extreme mood swings. Do you treat Bipolar persons?
Is there a difference on the kind of ketamine therapy for chronic pain? In other words do you need an infusion or will the nasal spray work?
I just bought a nasal spray, but haven't tried yet. I'm a little nervous the more I read up on it. I have a spinal cord injury and I don't mind taking meds, but if the spray can cut my meds in half I'd be happy. Have you tried it yet?
@@waitaminute2015
No.. where did you get it?.. my pain doctor wants me to go to a psychiatrist to get it. I don't want to do that.
So much trust one needs to have for a treatment like this. That's going to be a problem when you, like me, have lost absolutely all trust in human beings and get that confirmed at a regular basis. Specially when dealing with doctors or other health care workers.
How long does an infusion last? I'm afraid to ask about it. I've been on every antidepressant and anxiety med on the planet. I have chronic pain from Inclusion Body Myositis but they won't let me keep benzos and the pain meds so I have panic attacks regularly and act like everyone an addict. I'm a 58 year old nurse who has NEVER missed a required test for scheduled meds (or for police depot employment for 20 years), have never had an off pill count, never any sign of diversion, never had any drinking or drug problem. I have to choose pain or anxiety.
I'm so sorry you had that experience, but I greatly admire your vulnerability in sharing that. Infusion sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes
@@MedicalSecrets thank you, doc. I'm really kind of at the end of my rope with the whole experience. I have PTSD due to a lot of adult trauma. I just don't know who to ask at this point. I'm disabled now and afraid to push my luck.
I definitely suggest trying ketamine as it can definitely help reduce anxiety and thus benzo use. However, if you aren't being allowed enough benzos I suggest you find a doctor that is being paid out of pocket. You will have a much easier time getting what you need.
Oh, I just re-read. Sounds like you are getting opiates too. Disregard the private doctor advice then and give the ketamine a try after you have done sufficient research and understand what you are getting yourself in to.
It's deplorable that upright citizens that need both can't get it and they're making us go down on the pain meds
@@vocals1111 you are right. My pain is getting worse. Exacerbates pain. I go round and round.
God, I need your help so badly. Even just a consultation would be huuuuge for me. I'm losing the last bit if faith that I had left.
Pray to Jesus 🙏
@@AnnemWatson391That's all I do, I'm still waiting for the answer
Ketamine works out things in your mind even without psycho therapy. It creates new pathways or restores them.
My daughter had her first infusion. The experience set off her PTSD during treatment and the disconnected feeling frightened her. They told me not to speak during the session, but the nurse left the room briefly and I had to calm her down. I'm hoping it was just that it was a new experience. It was overseen by an MD. No therapy during the infusion.
I'm sorry to hear about that experience. Hopefully the second session will be smoother now that she knows a little bit more about what to expect. We typically will have one to one with the MD in cases such as that. I am wishing for the best in her healing 🙏
Will ketamine effect me negatively if when I cone to from all my operations were very negative? I’ve always woken up balling my eyes out . Why? Not clue will the fusions be negative for me?
Esketamine has problems with the dispenser
There are Ketamine clinics that simply tap a vein and fill you w ketamine w no counseling before, during or after. Then encourage you to sign up for long term treatments. Legalized drug dealers.
This is very sad, but accurate description of some operations...
Yep
I micro dosed a gram for New Year's 🎉 Eve! Never felt better. Lol Ketamine is a great tool for self realization. Amen
I’ve heard this treatment works only temporarily. It wears off after a few weeks then you need more…forever. And each infusion 1000k too 🤑
I pay about 350 for each one and Medicaid & my supplement gives me 80 back. My Medicare advantage paid the whole thing once I appealed the first decision. Shop around.
Hi Dr.... after doing a very small amount of research, I have TUD, Tobacco Use Disorder also chronic arthritis pain..do you believe ketamine could help me with this.. I found several clinics near me but if I call them they will probably try to push me to make an appointment... I can't stop smoking even though I know im killing myself.. please help me😢
thank you i should have watched this sooner. I had ketamine with lidocin infusion. but I noticed that I was getting more pain. no answers were given to questions and I have the feeling that I now have more pain than I had, so I've been on the pain medicin I was befor on for a week and now things are going okay again. it was to see if it would do anything for my Hemacrania and endometriosis pain. unfortunately thorax endometriosis which caused more pain
My wife had really bad endometriosis. A hysterectomy fixed it.
@@carlhitchon1009 Endometriosis cannot be resolved with hysterectomy. that's because endometrosis can occur anywhere in soft tissue.
adenomyosis can be resolved this way. but endometriosis is a chronic disease unfortunately.
@@tjardahope In my wife's case it had spread about her gut, but apparently they were able to remove a lot. Anyway, it resolved for her luckily. I wish you better luck with your problem.
What is your take on CRNAs administrating the ketamine?
I’m guessing since he is a anesthesiologist he would hate CRNAs doing this. A red flag for any anesthesiologist is a CRNA, why? Because it is bad for business. The reality is CRNAs are administering more ketamine on a daily basis than Anesthesiologists in our country. The age old debate about how one was trained in the anesthesia world is a tired argument. Studies show outcomes for patients are not improved by having Anesthesiologist vs CRNA administering the anesthetic.
Can oral ketamine work as well as IV? I have had a consult with a clinic that uses the sublingual form.
dont forget us PMHNPs
Hiya would you mind answering my question s?
What do you think about a clinic offering intermuscular treatment vs IV treatment?
Does long term intake of cannabis hinder a Ketamine treatment
I'm looking into ketamine clinic. In Greenwood, IN, there is a clinic called Klarity.
Do you know if this is a well known and good clinic? I have read all the information on it and it is run by an anesthesiologist. I would like your opinion if you know of this clinic.
It would make me feel more comfortable going in.
Thank you very much for your time.
Any tips on a good ketamine clinic/doctor in LA?
Choose your horizon. I work here and we do at home treatments.
I had to tell my primary that I am not doing Ketamine anymore in order to get her to treat me as a human, she was so pissed and refused too ever prescribe me any drugs for any health conditions because she doesn’t know anything about ketamine and she definitely did not approve of me having my life saved, she much prefers that I take drugs that nearly killed me. She wants me to be incoherent and semi unconscious, the effects of the drugs she likes for me, she does not care how I feel. The scary thing, her ignorance, and the sign on the door says surgery center. Is it normal for a doctor in a surgery centered practice to not know a common drug. She is really good at yelling, and ordering me around, and I dread to go near her. Unfortunately, a rare life threatening illnesses kinda has me stuck. Ugh, she might need it more than I do, does Ketamine work on Narcissists?
Curious if Ketamine infusions used to help with autism and OCD?
Great question! Autism: not that I'm aware of... OCD: emerging evidence. Recognize that many conditions RARELY exist in a vacuum, and ketamine may be able to treat comorbid depression/anxiety/etc. to improve the other conditions
I definitely believe in my experience it helps OCD.
A local pharmacist was recommending it for pain and had the booklet made up to take to our doctor. We were supposed to ask our doctor to prescribe it. I never asked for a prescription but this pharmacist was doing monthly meetings. Now I am shocked to find out what it was about. I thought it was a pill not an infusion
They may be talking about oral ketamine, they can make them at compounding pharmacy’s.I just started on the lozenge or troches. It is the only thing I can afford and you do it at home, I am anxious to get good results from my CPTSD and chronic pain
@@shelldaniel6412 Yes it was a compounding pharmacy
I just bought a nasal spray at my pharmacy, but I'm afraid to try it. The more research I do, the more nervous I get. Pain is my issue, and of course it's causing me some depression. This "trip" talk scares me though.
Was it expensive?
