Despite growing success stories and clinical backing, many myths about ketamine persist. At Dr. Jon Deam’s clinic, we’re committed to clearing up confusion so patients can make informed decisions.
Myth #1: Ketamine Is Addictive
Truth: In medical settings with controlled doses, ketamine is not addictive. Abuse potential only exists with recreational misuse.
Myth #2: Ketamine Is a Last-Ditch Effort
Truth: While often used for treatment-resistant depression, ketamine is a frontline option in many evidence-based clinics.
Myth #3: The Effects Are Just a “Trip”
Truth: Dissociative feelings during treatment are temporary and part of ketamine’s therapeutic mechanism—not the end goal.
So, Is Ketamine Safe?
When administered by licensed professionals like Dr. Deam, ketamine therapy is very safe. Common side effects include:
- Mild dizziness
- Nausea
- Temporary dissociation
All treatments are supervised and tailored to your health history and needs.
