What Is Ketamine Used For?

What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a time-tested anesthetic with a long history of use. It is also able to alleviate pain, both physical and mental. Fast and effective, it provides relief from symptoms almost immediately, so patients are not forced to wait weeks for a glimpse of relief from their suffering.

The History of Ketamine

Ketamine was first discovered in the 1950s and was being used as an anesthetic in veterinary medicine by the 1960s. It gained in the 1970s and saw use in hospitals and on battlefields, where it alleviated pain and suffering.

Fast-forward to the 1980s and we find ketamine being used for recreational purposes, although the arrival of propofol (a stronger IV hypnotic) made ketamine fall out of favor with affluent users. Still, legislation moved forward that significantly curtailed the use and production of the medication, at least until close to the turn of the century, when ketamine was once more revisited for its use as an NMDA receptor blocker and anti-hyperalgesic drug.

Today, ketamine is being used in a wide range of novel ways, including managing treatment-resistant depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and OCD. It promises fast, efficient relief from symptoms without the same side effects that come with other medications, including conventional antidepressants.
