Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy is typically considered for patients who have tried 2 or more antidepressants without adequate response. We conduct a thorough evaluation including medical history, current medications, and treatment history.
What is the difference between IV ketamine and Spravato?
IV ketamine is administered intravenously in our clinic and is not FDA-approved for depression (used off-label). Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression and is often covered by insurance.
How quickly does ketamine work?
Many patients notice improvement within hours to days of their first infusion — significantly faster than traditional antidepressants. A full course of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks produces the most durable results.
Is ketamine therapy safe?
When administered in a clinical setting with proper screening and monitoring, ketamine therapy has a strong safety profile. We conduct comprehensive pre-treatment evaluations and monitor patients throughout each session.
Is ketamine covered by insurance?
IV ketamine infusions are typically not covered by insurance. Spravato (esketamine) is often covered for qualifying patients with treatment-resistant depression. We help navigate insurance prior authorization.
