Yes. Ketamine has been shown to be very safe after decades of use. HAPPŸŸ has strict protocols and standards of care to personalize the dosages, monitor for compliance, misuse and diversion. Administered under the care of a licensed professional, with proper protocols, ketamine therapy is considered a very safe alternative to traditional anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications. Like any drug, it’s important that you follow all safety program parameters, precautions and dosing recommendations closely.
Once you take your medication, you can expect to begin feeling the effects within 5-10 minutes, and you should feel the full effects of the medication for about an hour. You may experience an “after-glow” effect for up to 2 hours as you come down from the medication.
Because each person responds differently to ketamine, after your first six sessions it may be recommended that you continue taking ketamine periodically or you may determine that ketamine is no longer needed.
You should feel completely normal after the effects of your medication wear off. You should start feeling the antidepressant effects of your treatment within just 24-48 hours.
Ketamine is a safe treatment with little to no side effects. Less than 5% of ketamine-treated patients report mild side effects, subsiding within an hour or two of administration. These may include headache, nausea, or dizziness.
Ketamine is a medication that has been shown to produce positive mental health outcomes when taken in a controlled setting. It is as an anesthetic and is increasingly prescribed for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and a number of other mental health disorders. Prescription of a medication that has not specifically been approved for a patient’s symptoms is known as an “off-label prescription”–it is both legal and common, with one in five prescriptions written for off-label use in the U.S.
Ketamine is an drug that is used daily in hospitals. Over the past 50 years, physicians have learned several uses for ketamine in mental illness. In fact, the evidence is so strong in the treatment of mental wellness that the American Psychiatric Association issued a statement stating that ketamine’s antidepressant effects are rapid and potent. A derivative of ketamine (called esketamine) has even received FDA designation for treatment-resistant depression. So yes, although it may surprise you, ketamine is legal.
The use of ketamine under the supervision of a provider or licensed physician has been proven to be effective and safe for home use for mental illness.
With sublingual Ketamine tablets, you never have to leave your home to receive treatment. This oral medication is delivered to your home, and you take it under virtual supervision. The tablet is placed under the tongue and dissolves within minutes. The effects last approximately one hour.
Everyone’s needs are different when it comes to mental health treatment, but most people respond well during the initial six sessions spread out over the course of 4 weeks. After the initial six sessions, some people continue on however the frequency varies from once a week, to bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed once a quarter, depending on the individual.
Medication interactions with ketamine are very rare. There is a very short list of medications that will counteract ketamine. SSRIs, SNRIs, and benzodiazepines are not on that list. You’ll be prompted to enter your medications during the onboarding process; if you are taking any that might potentially interact with treatment, your provider will discuss this with you during your consultation. Most of our clients continue to take their antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications while going through our treatment programs.
Oral ketamine tablets used in the HAPPŸŸ FLÖW Program taken @ home can be 75% less than IV infusion and 95% less expensive than Spravato.
HAPPŸŸ uses oral (sublingual) tablets that can be discreetly delivered to your home for as low as ~$111 per treatment. There’s no need for needles, you simply place the tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve, all from the comfort of your home.
Ketamine IV infusions must be administered in a clinical setting, where you may need to wait days or weeks for an appointment, and they often cost from $400-$1000+ per treatment. Spravato (Nasal spray) similarly to IV infusions, can cost as much as $32,000+ per year and must also be administered in a clinical setting.
Please don’t eat within 3 hours prior to treatment to mitigate the slight risk of nausea (note: we have fast-acting anti-nausea medication available if needed). We also ask that you don’t drink in the hour before your session to avoid bathroom breaks that interrupt your treatment.
Yes, it is perfectly safe for you to go to work the next day. That said, it is not recommended you drive or do something with a high priority on the day of your treatment; it’s better to take it easy.
Ketamine was as an anesthetic (for humans) in 1970. It is classified as an anesthetic, not a tranquilizer. Anesthetics work as analgesics and have sedative qualities, while tranquilizers (ex. Ativan, klonopin, Librium) have anxiolytic effects. There are many examples of veterinary practices finding useful purpose for drugs used by humans, and ketamine is a commonly used anesthetic in veterinary medicine.
For people experiencing suicidal thoughts, we recommend that you have an in person assessment and work with your doctor or therapist to properly manage suicidal ideation. We do not allow use of our program for suicidal ideation.

When ketamine is used to alleviate pain, it’s most often given as an infusion or injection. Ketamine binds to the same brain receptors as drugs like morphine. This action aids in the reduction of pain sensation. It also can help with a variety of painful problems. It’s often used to treat chronic pain, as well as acute pain following surgery or other medical treatments. Ketamine has been found to reduce both pain intensity and disability caused by pain. Most people can get ketamine infusions on an outpatient basis. There are usually no major side effects from the infusion. Ketamine can provide effective pain relief for people who have not had success with other treatments.

It is possible that those with psychosis conditions (Schizophrenia) can have symptom exacerbation with doses of ketamine. This is why all of your pre-exisiting conditions must be discussed with a medical professional prior to starting treatment.
Ketamine is a medication that is most commonly used as an anesthetic for over 50 years but was discovered to have remarkable effects for mental health conditions. It works by depressing the activity of the central nervous system, which includes your brain. When ketamine is used as a treatment for conditions like major depression, it can help to improve mood and relieve symptoms within a few hours (not months). This is because it is thought that ketamine works by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called glutamate. Glutamate is involved in regulating feelings of pain, pleasure, and anxiety.

Though not a standard in most drug tests, ketamine *can* be screened for. Since the way everyone metabolizes drugs is different, ketamine usually leaves your system within 12 hours; however, it could take up to a week or two for all traces of the drug to disappear. If you’re concerned about failing a potential test, please consult with us. We’ll happily provide guidance and perspective to help you decide if treatment via ketamine is still the best option available considering your unique circumstances.

KAP is not for everyone, however. If you have a history of psychosis or mania, have severe breathing problems or other serious medical problems, or if you are pregnant or nursing, you should not take ketamine. You can refer to our Safety Information for more information.
