Depending on circumstances. Dr. Qureshi confirms fit at your consultation.
Ketamine infusion therapy in New York works differently from SSRIs and SNRIs. Instead of slowly adjusting neurotransmitters like serotonin, ketamine acts on the brain’s glutamate system.
Ketamine blocks some glutamate signals, which helps brain cells build new connections.
Many patients describe it as “quieting” the critical internal voice.
Patients feel more like themselves again, not numb or flat.
Many patients notice a first mood shift within 1 to 4 hours.
Even if you’ve had multiple failed antidepressants, ketamine may still be effective.

I struggled with depression, anxiety, and PTSD for years. I’d tried CBT, DBT, EMDR, Lithium, Abilify, and more before finding relief here. Since starting ketamine, I feel so much better, the pain in my body eased, and I feel more positive and safe. That’s a huge success for me.
Some people notice improvement within hours, but the effect can fade within days or weeks, which is why treatment is usually a series. Everyone responds differently.
Yes. Ketamine is studied for treatment-resistant depression. In a 2022 review of real-world studies of 2,665 patients, about 45% responded. It helps many people, but not everyone.

No. Keep taking your medications, and never stop or change one on your own. Our doctor reviews every medication first. Research suggests higher doses of benzodiazepines may weaken ketamine’s effect on the first day after an infusion.
Many people describe a dream-like or floating feeling. You stay fully aware of where you are, and the feeling is temporary. Your own registered nurse stays with you and can slow or pause the infusion.
It varies. Ketamine’s effect can fade within days or weeks, which is why treatment is usually a series. Boosters have no fixed schedule; our physician sets them with you based on how you respond. Learn more about how long ketamine lasts for depression.
