Ketamine Treatment at GW Center
What is Ketamine and how does it work?
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used for many decades for anesthesia. It was medications of choice in the pediatric population due to its very high safety profile. At lower doses (of anywhere from 0.5mg/kg and up to 2mg/kg) injectable ketamine induces psychedelic states that appear to be therapeutic for a variety of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and others. What is also interesting is that ketamine appears to improve nervous system problems like autonomic instability. It has been used for chronic Lyme disease, POTS syndrome, and other states where the central nervous system is not able to self regulate well.
The newest application of Ketamine is for long COVID. We have scheduled the first Ketamine Retreat for our Long COVID group and will create a summary of an experience after it to share with all of you.
