ISN'T KETAMINE A HORSE TRANQUILIZER?

Brief History of Ketamine

Ketamine, a water-soluble anesthetic derived from phencyclidine, was first synthesized in the 1960s and approved for medical use in the 1970s. Initially used for anesthesia and later for pain management and addiction treatment, it also became known for its dissociative effects. These effects led researchers to explore its complex action on the central nervous system. Ketamine increases blood pressure and heart rate, making it useful for patients at risk of hypotension or bronchospasm. It provides rapid anesthesia and profound pain relief without suppressing breathing.

KETAMINE
EFFECTS

Ketamine can cause side effects like hallucinations, vivid dreams, and delirium often manageable with benzodiazepines. Despite this, it's considered a highly effective anesthetic and has emerged as a breakthrough treatment for depression, especially treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work, ketamine often produces significant improvements within 24–72 hours. Both IV and intranasal forms have shown strong results in clinical trials, offering a fast-acting alternative for patients who haven’t responded to standard treatments.

SUICIDE

Can Ketamine reduce the risk of suicide?

While ketamine's exact mechanism isn't fully understood, studies consistently show it significantly reduces suicidal thoughts and depression. Both IV ketamine (0.5 mg/kg over 40 minutes) and intranasal esketamine have demonstrated rapid and meaningful improvements, especially when combined with standard care.

USE OF KETAMINE

Ketamine, when used as an add-on treatment, has shown potential to reduce trauma-related memories, lessen nightmares, improve sleep, and support recovery from depression. Research suggests it can increase total sleep time, reduce night-time awakenings, and ease insomnia—particularly in patients with depression and suicidal thoughts. In fact, baseline insomnia may even predict a stronger response to repeated IV ketamine treatments for both unipolar and bipolar depression. For individuals with both PTSD and treatment-resistant depression, ketamine infusions have proven beneficial. While results are promising, more research is needed to determine how ketamine may enhance the effects of psychotherapy in chronic PTSD.
