3 Myths About Ketamine

In today's information age, one thing stands above all — easy access to information. Even though this has its advantages, it also comes with its disadvantages.

Easy access to information has also opened the floodgates to a substantial influx of misleading content. In the case of ketamine treatment, this holds due to the numerous myths and stigmas about ketamine.  

Myth 1: Ketamine is Harmful to Your Body

Misconceptions about the safety of receiving ketamine treatments have evolved among worries about the dangers of ketamine use for recreational purposes. 

Ketamine has been linked to psychotic experiences, including hallucinations and disorientation. However, ketamine's adverse side effects manifest with excessive and unsupervised usage. These side effects are uncommon and short-lived when ketamine treatment is done under the supervision of a medical professional.

Myth 2: Ketamine is Only Used as a Horse Tranquilizer

Ketamine is commonly used as an anesthetic for humans in medical settings, and in veterinary settings. For this reason, Ketamine has colloquially been referred to as a “horse tranquilizer.” Ketamine has been proved to be an effective and very safe anesthetic.

At Axxis Wellness, we use Ketamine iv infusions as treatment for pain management and mental health care. Ketamine infusion therapy has shown great promise in treating certain mental health disorders. Raising public awareness and education about the potential advantages of ketamine requires first dispelling the misconceptions that have developed around it. 

Myth 3: Ketamine is Highly Addictive

Some people say that since ketamine is addictive, you shouldn't even consider getting therapy with it. However, extensive research indicates that the occurrence of ketamine addiction following its usage in depression treatment centers is rarely common.

It's accurate to say that recreational ketamine usage can lead to dependency on the substance. However, ketamine has been demonstrated to be less addictive than other substances like nicotine, opioids, and even alcohol.

When consumed in unsafe settings and high quantities, ketamine can produce adverse effects like loss of consciousness and psychosis. However, it's crucial to note that these risks don't exist when ketamine infusions for depression are administered to patients under the care of well-trained medical experts.

Treatment Options 

When used by qualified medical staff, such as those found at Axxis Wellness, in a clinical environment, ketamine is a safe and effective therapy method. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, consider exploring ketamine infusion therapy as a viable treatment option. Here at Axxis Wellness, we have a dedicated team of specialists committed to helping individuals start their journey to a mental refresh.

Guess who's getting back to podcasting?! We got #Ketmaine in the prehospital protocols this year with rather minimal state facilitated education. Luckily, we're use to being let down by the government and know how to read for ourselves! @pguziewicz93 and I will be talking about what ketamine is, how it work, how much and when to give it, even when not to give it (which is almost never). Stay tuned for a link with the podcast! #FOAMed #FOAMems (at Waterville, Maine)
