Side Effects of Ketamine Compared to Medication

If medication is causing you many side effects, ketamine is another alternative to all the side effects included with antidepressants. The side effects that could occur during or after the infusion are:

Feeling drowsy or sleepy
Dizziness/faintness
Poor coordination/unsteadiness
Headache

There is minimal risk of these side effects because the dosage is quite small. If you experience any of these side effects, they generally are resolved within 4 to 24 hours after each infusion. For this reason, you are typically prohibited from driving on the same day of treatment. Check out more frequently asked questions about ketamine below.
