Your Struggles End Right NOW
Feeling anxious about starting ketamine therapy is completely normal. Many individuals may have concerns about potential side effects, the unfamiliarity of the treatment, or the underlying mental health condition prompting consideration of this option. At Nameen Wellness & Infusion, we understand your worries, and we’re here to address them.
Ketamine therapy may be a novel concept to many, and it’s crucial to grasp how it works. While there are various administration methods, we prioritize safety and accuracy by employing infusions. This approach ensures that the medication is fully absorbed by the body, allowing for precise dosing and easy cessation if necessary.
We pride ourselves on responsible innovation, providing ketamine infusions in a controlled medical environment where patients are closely monitored throughout their sessions.

Before Treatment
Mentally and Emotionally Prepare
Educate yourself about the treatment process to reduce uncertainty and anxiety.
Communicate with Dr. Imani
Discuss any concerns or questions with Dr. Imani beforehand to alleviate anxiety and ensure comfort.
Seek Support
If possible, bring a loved one or therapist for emotional support during treatment.
Try Relaxation Techniques
Engage in activities like meditation or deep breathing exercises to calm your mind.
Fasting
Fast for 3-4 hours before your infusion to minimize nausea and vomiting risk. Avoid caffeine, stimulants, and alcohol the night before.
Arrange Transportation
Plan for a ride home as ketamine's effects can last hours, making driving unsafe.
Medication Considerations
Inform us of any medications, especially benzodiazepines or lamotrigine, for possible adjustments.
D
During Treatment
Upon arrival, discuss any questions or concerns with Dr. Imani. During the infusion, communicate any needs to enhance comfort. As ketamine takes effect, you may experience sensations like “lightness” or “floating,” along with possible visual experiences. Each experience is unique, and our team will monitor you closely and address any side effects.
