Currently, the lack of large, replicated clinical trials prevent existing results from being generalisable to the larger population. The current model of KAP also uses repeated administration of ketamine, the long-term side effects of which are not fully known yet. High doses of ketamine could also have potentially toxic effects in patients. [26]
Ketamine potentiates the sedative effects of propofol [85] and midazolam. [86] Naltrexone potentiates psychotomimetic effects of a low dose of ketamine, [87] while lamotrigine [38] and nimodipine [39] decrease them. Clonidine reduces the increase of salivation, heart rate, and blood pressure during ketamine anesthesia and decreases the ...

After the publication of the NIH-run antidepressant clinical trial, clinics began opening in which the intravenous ketamine is given for depression. [5] [6] This practice is an off label use of IV ketamine in the United States, though the intranasal version of esketamine has been approved by the FDA for treatment of depression [5] [7] In 2015 there were about 60 such clinics in the US; the ...
