Ketamine Treatment Instructions

Notify your doctor of all changes in your medical history or new / discontinued

medications.

Women of child-bearing potential should not get pregnant during the treatment

course.

Avoid eating solid food for 3 hours and fluids for 30 min before the treatment and minimize caffeine intake

Avoid alcohol and THC 12 hours before and after the treatment.

Consider Taking Dramamine / Meclizine 1 hour prior to treatment, this will reduce

motion sickness and nausea.

You are welcome to bring your own headphones and music playlist. We suggest

relaxing and non-stimulating music. Several good ketamine playlists are available on

Apple Music and Spotify. Keep your phone on do not disturb.

You can also bring your own pillow, blanket or other items that can make you

comfortable during the treatment.

Avoid stressful experiences right before and after the treatment.

Do not rush through traffic for your appointment, if you come in early we might be

able to start your treatment early.

Right after the treatment for a few days the brain seems to be more receptive to

learning and change. Use this window of opportunity to bring positive experiences

into your life.

Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until fully recovered from the effects

of treatment.

Your experience may vary from treatment to treatment, and how you feel the next

day may fluctuate, this is not a concern!

Benzodiazepines and other similar medications can mute the experience but it is better to have a muted experience than anxoius, so it is ok to take it if needed.

During the treatment you can page us at any time with any questions, concerns or if

you simply want one of us to stay with you.

Do not hesitate to request some time with the doctor before or after the treatment to

discuss your experience or concerns.
