If you've tried multiple antidepressants and still struggle with depression, you're not alone—and there is hope. At Lonerock Clinic in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon, we offer ketamine therapy, a science-backed treatment that's transforming lives for people with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
What Is Treatment-Resistant Depression?
Treatment-resistant depression is diagnosed when a person does not respond adequately to at least two different antidepressant medications, taken at the right dose and duration. It affects up to 30% of people with major depressive disorder.
Symptoms often include:
- Persistent sadness or hopelessness
- Lack of energy or motivation
- Trouble concentrating or sleeping
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
When traditional therapies don't work, it can feel defeating. But innovative therapies like ketamine are changing the landscape of care.
What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has gained recognition over the last decade for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects—especially in patients who haven't found relief from standard medications.
At Lonerock Clinic, we offer two forms of ketamine therapy:
- Intramuscular (IM) Ketamine Injections – Delivered in a controlled setting, monitored by experienced clinicians.
- Spravato® (Esketamine) – A nasal spray version of ketamine, FDA-approved specifically for treatment-resistant depression.
Both options are administered under medical supervision in a safe, calming environment.
How Does Ketamine Work for Depression?
Unlike SSRIs or SNRIs, ketamine acts on the glutamate system in the brain.
It promotes:
- Rapid neuroplasticity – helping your brain form new, healthier connections
- Reduction in depressive symptoms – often within hours or days
- Disruption of negative thought loops common in TRD and suicidal ideation
Many patients report significant improvement after just a few sessions, including increased mental clarity, motivation, and mood stability.
Is Ketamine Therapy Safe?
Yes—when administered in a clinical setting like Lonerock Clinic, ketamine therapy is both safe and well-tolerated.
We provide:
- Medical screenings to ensure ketamine is appropriate for you
- Real-time monitoring during treatment sessions
- Collaborative care with your existing mental health provider or prescriber
- Follow-up plans to support long-term improvement
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as dizziness or dissociation. Our experienced care team closely monitors each session for your comfort and safety.
