Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Ketamine Solutions LLC?
Ketamine Solutions LLC is a state-of-the-art clinic specializing in the therapeutic use of ketamine infusion and Spravato (eskatamine) treatments for various mental health conditions, including depression, suicidal thoughts/actions, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD.
What conditions do you treat?

See our Conditions page for details here.
How does ketamine therapy work?
Ketamine therapy involves administering low doses of ketamine under medical supervision. This can lead to rapid relief of symptoms by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, promoting new neural connections.
What is SPRAVATO® (esketamine)?
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. It works similarly to ketamine infusions, providing fast-acting relief for patients who have not responded to other treatments.
Who is eligible for ketamine or SPRAVATO® therapy?
Eligibility is determined through a comprehensive evaluation by our medical team. Patients who have not responded well to traditional treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD may be good candidates.
Ketamine treatments are the most rapid and effective treatment for acute suicidal thoughts or actions.
What can I expect during a treatment session?
During a session, you will be seated in a comfortable, private room. A medical professional will administer the ketamine either intravenously or via a nasal spray (for Spravato), depending on your treatment plan. The session typically lasts about 1-2 hours, and you will be monitored throughout.
Are there any side effects?
Some common side effects include mild nausea, dizziness, and dissociation. These effects are usually short-lived and subside shortly after the session. Our team is equipped to manage any side effects to ensure your comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and response to treatment. Most patients start with a series of six sessions over two to three weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
What should I bring to my first evaluation appointment??
Please bring a government-issued ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical records. If you have any questions, our staff will be happy to assist you.
Can I drive after a treatment session?
No, you must arrange for someone to drive you home after your session, as you may feel drowsy or disoriented. It is best to rest for the remainder of the day.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling our clinic at (864) 236-1630 or by visiting our website and filling out the consultation request form.
What are the success rates of ketamine infusions and SPRAVATO® therapy?
Clinical studies have shown that both ketamine infusions and SPRAVATO® therapy can be effective for many patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. While individual results vary, a significant number of patients experience rapid and sustained improvement in their symptoms.
What happens during my evaluation?
During your evaluation, you will meet with one of our providers who will review your medical history, current symptoms, and previous treatments. This evaluation helps determine if ketamine or Spravato therapy is right for you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have about the treatment process.
How do I prepare for my ketamine sessions?
We encourage patients to dress comfortably such as lost fitted clothing. Bring with you cozy items such as a comfy blanket, eye mask, and noise-canceling bluetooth headphones. If you do not have these items or forget them, we have them available for you to use during your session. We recommend you eat within 4 hours before your session to deter the possibility of mild nausea. To achieve the most therapeutic session, you should listen to soothing music with no words or commercials. We’ve created curated playlists on multiple streaming apps for your convenience. Be sure you take any pre-session medications if they have been prescribed by our provider.
