Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but for some, it can become overwhelming and persistent, leading to anxiety disorders. These disorders are characterized by excessive fear and stress about typically benign situations, causing significant distress and impairment in daily life. In its simplest form, anxiety is an irrational and intense fear of future events, which can manifest through symptoms such as tension and avoidance behaviors.
Anxiety disorders come in various forms, with the most prevalent being Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). People with GAD experience chronic worry and fear that disrupt daily activities, accompanied by symptoms such as:
Other common anxiety disorders include panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.
At NoCo MedSpa & IV Therapy, our team of skilled anesthesiologists and anesthetists offers ketamine IV infusion therapy as a cutting-edge treatment for anxiety. This therapy can be particularly effective for individuals who have not found relief through traditional medications, which often require time to build up in the body and adjust chemical imbalances.
Unlike traditional anti-anxiety medications that slowly increase serotonin levels, ketamine works by enhancing the overall functional capacity of the brain. This results in a rapid reduction of anxiety symptoms, providing quicker relief.
Before beginning treatment, our anesthesiologists and anesthetists conduct a comprehensive consultation to determine if ketamine IV infusion therapy is suitable for you. Typically, the treatment protocol involves an initial series of six infusion sessions, administered at a dosage of approximately 0.5 mg/kg/hr. These sessions are usually scheduled once or twice a week.
During each hour-long session, you will receive a low-dose IV infusion, spending 40 minutes receiving the infusion and 20 minutes recovering. Some patients report experiencing a relaxed or floating sensation, or mild hallucinations, which subside quickly after the session ends.
Depending on your response to the initial treatment and the severity of your symptoms, additional ketamine IV sessions may be recommended. Maintenance sessions are typically scheduled every 3-5 weeks to ensure long-lasting relief. Over time, the frequency of these sessions can be adjusted, with the goal of increasing the intervals between treatments.
Throughout your treatment, our team will closely monitor your progress, ensuring that all protocols and best practice standards are followed to keep you safe.
Ketamine IV infusions can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms and improve mental clarity, enabling you to engage more effectively in complementary therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps you recognize and manage your thoughts and behavioral responses, further enhancing your ability to cope with anxiety.
