Understanding How Ketamine Can Treat Anxiety Disorder

What Is Anxiety Disorder?

Everyone feels anxious or worried from time to time. However, anxiety disorders differ from these normal sensations. They are among the most common mental health disorders and are characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or even fear. These feelings are often strong enough to interfere with your life. In extreme situations, they can lead to panic attacks.

Many different types of anxiety disorders exist. For instance, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are both types of anxiety disorders. Common treatments for anxiety disorders include antidepressants and other medications, as well as counseling. However, many people do not experience relief from these treatments. Ketamine therapy can offer a ray of hope.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Ketamine Therapy and Anxiety Disorder

Does ketamine treat anxiety disorder?
Yes, ketamine therapy has been shown to be very effective when treating anxiety disorder, particularly when combined with conventional therapy (psychotherapy, for instance). If you have tried conventional therapy with mixed or no results, ketamine may be able to help.
How is ketamine therapy administered?

You’ll receive ketamine infusion through an IV inserted into your arm or hand. You’ll be cared for by a registered nurse, and your vitals will be monitored the entire time. You will also be able to relax in a comfortable chair and watch TV or listen to music through high-quality headphones.

Can ketamine therapy help with anxiety that hasn’t responded well to conventional therapy?
Yes! We recommend ketamine therapy for patients who have tried conventional therapy and have not been able to alleviate their symptoms or who have experienced a return of symptoms.
Are there side effects from ketamine therapy?
You may feel tired after therapy. We also recommend having someone drive you home because you will not be able to drive yourself. Soreness in the arm from the IV is also a potential side effect.
How many ketamine treatments will I need?

It varies from patient to patient. Please schedule a consultation with our office so we can discuss your specific needs.

    5 star review  This place was great!! It was my first time doing Vitamin IV therapy and Nicole and Denise were soooo AMAZING! I really couldn’t have had a better experience.. I went... read more in due to having flu like symptoms for 3 days and just felt like in order to get better faster why not try this- I have been looking into it for a few years but never actually tried it. I went in late afternoon (which they accommodated me right away for an appointment 😀 ) and received the Meyers therapy drip which lasted about an hour. They were super nice and answered all of my questions and then some. I walked out and immediately didn’t feel as achy and when I woke up the next morning I kid you not I felt almost 100% well again! I am definitely going to start going on a maintenance type basis just to stay hydrated and have that extra push of vitamins!!! Thank you Nepenthe Wellness!

I go to Nepenthe for their IV ketamine therapy which for me has been a game changer in terms of my mental health and chronic pain issues.

  • 5 star review  This place is definitely a VIP experience for receiving treatment for pain, mental health, and other IV wellness infusions. The environment is nice and serene. The staff is awesome, and... read more they do everything possible to make your experience a comfortable and pleasurable experience. My particular experience was for my mental health. I suffer from anxiety, which can be crippling when it comes to doing even the simplest things like getting out of bed and doing a chore or two. Often times this anxiety leads to depression. I can definitely say that having the IV Ketamine treatments have given me some of the momentum I needed to just get up and start living again, and it slowed down some of the mind racing that was causing near panic attacks and many sleepless nights. I am definitely not where I want to be, but with the help of these treatments and me actually putting in my part of the work, I could definitely see me advancing towards a better me that I forgot existed because I’ve been living like this for far too long. I have to be honest though, the treatments are a bit pricey and there are no guarantees; but it works in more cases than it doesn’t, and your mental health is worth it.
