Ketamine is an United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved anesthetic that has been used safely in medical settings for over 60 years. The World Health Organization has identified ketamine as one of the 100 most essential drugs in the world. Research has shown that ketamine can provide rapid relief from depressive symptoms with minimal side-effects when administered intravenously at sub-anesthetic doses.
Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors, triggering a glutamate surge that activates AMPA receptors and stimulates the release of BDNF, leading to increased neuroplasticity. The neuroplastic window is strongest in the days after treatment, not during, allowing the work the patient does outside of the treatment room to take hold more effectively.
When administered with an IV at the low dose required for neurogenesis, ketamine is not
addictive. Other forms of administration such as oral or intranasal, and also very high dosing of
Ketamine IV, can sometimes lead to addiction.
No. Ketamine is not a psychedelic.Ketamine is considered a dissociative rather than a psychedelic because it produces a dream-like state similar to nitrous oxide instead of the vivid, often hallucination-inducing perceptual distortions associated with psychedelics. It does, however, create a similar neuroplastic response. Because ketamine, and a few other non-psychedelic drugs, can trigger this same effect, they are categorized as psychoplastogens.
Chronic stress and trauma can reduce the brain’s ability to process information and communicate effectively between neural pathways. Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®) helps by increasing neural capacity, allowing the brain to form new, healthier connections that support recovery from anxiety, depression, and pain.
At Scenic City Neurotherapy, patients consistently report 85% or greater remission of symptoms after completing Stabilization Phase.
Ketamine is used to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, chronic pain, migraines, and symptoms related to long COVID. It can also support recovery from postoperative pain, injury-related pain, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
NAD+ is a key component in the Minimally-Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®) protocols for mood disorders and chronic pain conditions. This coenzyme is found in every cell in your body and is essential for creating cellular energy and maintaining cellular health.
Since the 1960s, NAD+ has been used to minimize symptoms and shorten the duration of opioid, benzodiazepine, and antidepressant withdrawal. It is proven to slow or prevent cognitive decline with age, and it is even FDA approved to treat chronic fatigue.
The MSKIT® protocols include adjuncts like NAD+ to bolster the benefits of the primary treatment. Ketamine creates neuroplasticity, while NAD+ increases the amount of biologic compounds your body and brain need to function optimally. At Scenic City Neurotherapy, we are committed to maximizing your investment, which is why our outcomes exceed those of other clinics in the region.
At-home ketamine therapy carries life-threatening risks because there is no medical oversight during administration. Ketamine can cause laryngospasm-induced deaths, changes in blood pressure, dissociation, nausea, and impaired coordination. Without clinical monitoring, there is no way to respond if something unexpected happens.
In contrast, our Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®) protocol uses precise dosing, continuous monitoring, anesthesia-level safety practices, and structured follow-up to support long-term change.
