During the Ketamine experience some people feel nausea or dizziness. Using eyeshades can greatly help reduce these symptoms. We can also provide medications as needed to treat nausea.  Some people may feel anxious or scared.  Often preparation and having a therapist present can help one feel safe, and soothe anxiety that arises.  Occasionally, patients may have a headache.  We provide medications that help with a mild headache.  During the Ketamine treatment, one’s blood pressure and pulse may increase slightly, similar to what happens during exercise.  For this reason, we monitor your blood pressure and pulse ox.
