The Patient's Treatment Journey
Each treatment will vary slightly on the delivery method. However, most people are able to return to their normal activities immediately after a treatment session, although some people may experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea, or changes in blood pressure.
During ketamine treatment in California, you will be seated in a comfortable chair or reclined on a bed. The medication will be administered through one of the following methods: nasal, IV, orally, or intramuscular. You will be closely monitored by a healthcare provider during the treatment, which typically lasts about 40-60 minutes.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm sensation throughout your body and a sense of relaxation. Some people also report feeling detachment from their body or a dreamlike state. These effects are generally temporary and will resolve after the treatment is completed. It's important to remember that every person's experience with ketamine treatment will be unique, and the specific effects you experience may vary.
