✦ Antidepressants & Ketamine ✦
The percentage of U.S. adults taking antidepressants is at an all-time high this year, with 7.9% of those aged 18-39, 14% of those aged 40-59, and 19% of those over 60 currently consuming at least one antidepressant medication.
Many antidepressants, especially SSRIs, can cause insomnia, headaches, digestive problems, decreased sexual drive or impotency, and can increase patients' risk of internal bleeding. These medications also put extra strain on the liver, which can lead to unhealthy liver function or poor liver enzyme production.
Unfortunately, the efficacy of these medications is often poor or erratic, being effective for the first few months but then causing depression symptoms to actually worsen.
Ketamine IV therapy has been shown to help as many as 70% to 80% of patients. In a study published by NIH, one dose of ketamine provided significant improvement in depression-related symptoms, which continued one month after the treatment. The lasting effect, as documented in this study, suggests that ketamine has the ability to alter a patient's neuroplasticity, which can result in a permanent reduction in depressive thought patterns.
✦ Thrive IV Can Help ✦
Thrive IV's ketamine IV therapy usually consists of six sessions taking place over a 2- to 3-week period. The clinic's primary physician, Dr. Pellegrino, will first meet with you for an in-depth consultation where you'll discuss your symptoms, medications, medical history, and concerns, to develop a personalized treatment plan. During ketamine IV sessions at Thrive IV, you'll rest in a comfortable recliner in a private room with soft lighting and soothing music. The clinic strives to provide the most effective and positive experience possible.
