Oral Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine Tablets, ready-to-dissolve tablets, and troches for depression, suicidality, anxiety, and pain. Used in a prescriptive manner, treatments vary by the patient weight and mental health condition. Tablets are dissolved under the tongue, and the medication is absorbed there. Results can be seen within several days in an incremental fashion. This treatment can be used with Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to augment CBT, EMDR, and other psychotherapies. This therapy is generally used as a micro-dosing strategy and does not lead to dissociation unless the prescription is targeted for Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Ketamine Nasal Spray
Ketamine nasal spray is compounded, racemic ketamine that has more rapid absorption than tablets. It is generally used at home several days a week for the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. This can be used to maintain the effects of ketamine infusions as well as treatment for depression or anxiety disorders from the ground up.
