Ketamine for Anxiety

While it is normal to experience worry, anxiety, or nervousness when faced with increased stress in life, when stress or anxiety become chronic and pervasive throughout your life it can become quite debilitating. You may find it hard to function at your normal level in many areas of your life such as work, your relationships, and even taking care of basic tasks of daily living.

There are many different causes of anxiety as well as different variations of disorders. The experience of anxiety is different for everyone who struggles with it, but many common symptoms include frequent excessive worry, difficulty calming down or feeling relaxed, feeling nervous, a sense of impending doom or danger, physiological responses such as elevated heart rate, shortness of breath, feeling lightheaded, sense of tingling in your extremities, and/or periods of intense panic when you feel you must escape a situation or place.

Traditional treatments of anxiety usually involve a psychotherapy, psychotropic medication (typically an antidepressant or in some cases benzodiazepines), or a combination of both. Many patients struggle to find the right medication and most do not fully relieve the symptoms, especially in more severe cases. In addition, benzodiazepines also run the risk of tolerance and addiction or dependency.

Ketamine for Anxiety Disorder

There are countless studies that demonstrate Ketamine’s ability and efficacy to treat anxiety, especially when patients have received other traditional or conventional treatments have been tried without success. Ketamine has a powerful calming effect and does not run the risk of addiction or dependency. In fact, most studies show that Ketamine can improve your mood and significantly reduce the symptoms of anxiety for up to two weeks with just one Ketamine infusion. Most patients find that they feel a sense of relief and are able to deal with prior stresses that before felt overwhelming or insurmountable. Many note a sense of calm and feeling on an “even keel.” In addition, Ketamine has been shown to significantly reduce both the occurrences of panic attacks and their severity if they are still experienced.

How Ketamine Provides Relief From Anxiety

The effects of Ketamine, particularly Ketamine infusions, can take hold almost immediately. This happens through Ketamine stimulating certain areas of your brain that are associated with glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter that plays a central role in regulating your mood. This also separates Ketamine from conventional treatments of anxiety which do not have this mechanism of action and have no effect on the glutamate pathway.
