It's recommended you refrain from driving until the day after the infusion. So plan on bringing a friend or family member to take you home. Do not eat solid foods, milk, pulp-filled juices, or soup for 4-hours prior to your appointment. You may have clear liquids such as water, Gatorade, apple juice, black coffee, or tea up to 2 hours prior to your appointment. Also Read: The Process A medical professional will place an IV and apply monitors to record your heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, and oxygen level continuously throughout the infusion. Then begins the actual infusion. You will be awake during the infusion and able to interact with those around you. It is best to relax quietly or listen to relaxing music during the infusion. People sometimes experience nausea or dizziness during the infusion. If you experience nausea, the clinic is equipped to treat it with an IV dose of an anti-nausea medication. The infusion itself takes about 45 minutes. Afterward, the clinic will monitor you for approximately 30 minutes before you are released. You will need to be with a friend or relative who can drive you safely home. Post-Initial Appointment The standard ketamine infusion protocol for depression that has resulted from scientific trials and clinical experience around the U.S. is 4-6 infusions over a two-week period. Vitalitas Denver has found 4, rather than 6, initial infusions to be the highest yield. It has been shown that serial infusions are more effective than single infusions. And the majority of patients who respond to ketamine treatment require maintenance infusions on an ongoing basis following the initial series. The frequency of these maintenance infusions varies greatly from person to person. Discover more Colorado Ketamine Clinics
