We start patients on a low dose of Ketamine to use sublingually every three days for the first 30 days. If a positive response is noted, we fine tune the dose and treat people until they reach a baseline of mood. At that point it is important to continue treatment for another six months to avoid rapid relapse. During this 6 month window of increased neuroplasticity, our multidisciplinary treatment team assists patients in pursuing other modalities of treatment including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, daily exercise, behavioral activation, yoga, meditation, and Ketamine Integration Therapy. By the end of this process, most patients are able to discontinue treatment. Some patients with chronic symptoms will elect to continue Ketamine Treatment long term.
