Ketamine-- Lessons from 3000 Sessions
Nov 17, 2023 Season 5 Episode 7
Craig Heacock MD

Some of the most basic questions about ketamine are still under investigation— Which patients are ideal responders? What is the therapeutic dose range? Is there a meaningful dose/response curve? Are fully dissociative treatments necessary for optimal efficacy? How important is psychotherapy after a higher dose IV or IM session?  And how should we think about frequency of initial treatments and then ongoing maintenance treatments, if needed?

Here Dr. H synthesizes and summarizes his experience over the last 6 years doing over 3000 IV and IM ketamine treatments and addresses each of these critical treatment dilemmas.
