Exciting News! Mind's Journey & Nervana Medical Are Coming Together to provide even more services
In part one of this two-part blog series, we looked at some of the reasons why many people experience temporary tiredness immediately following a ketamine therapy session. From the fact that ketamine is an anesthetic to the way it resets nervous system receptors and more, there are several reasons why some tiredness after a ketamine therapy session is often no surprise.
At A Mind's Journey, we're here to offer the very best ketamine treatments available to patients around Sandy, South Jordan, Draper and other parts of Utah, including ketamine treatments for anxiety, PTSD, depression and more. Today's part two of our series will look at some basic ways of managing expected tiredness after ketamine therapy, plus give a quick word on certain individuals who actually feel energized after ketamine therapy instead of tired.
Especially if you've had ketamine therapy treatments in the past and already know they make you tired, but even if not, it's often smart to schedule your treatment at a time where you can rest afterwards. This might involve taking the day off work, or at least scheduling your session towards the end of the day so you can go home and relax afterwards.
Even if you don't end up getting particularly tired, scheduling your session at a convenient time allows you to fully focus on the therapy and not have any external distractions.
For some people, simply accepting the fatigue and embracing it can be a helpful way to manage tiredness after ketamine therapy. Rather than fighting against it or trying to resist, you may find that simply acknowledging and allowing yourself to rest can make the experience more peaceful and relaxing.
Of course, if your tiredness is severe or lasting for an extended period of time, make sure to consult with your doctor.
As with any type of therapy, ketamine treatment can be more effective if you prioritize rest and relaxation afterwards. This allows your brain and body to fully process the experience and make the most out of it. So instead of jumping right back into a busy day or stressful activities, take some time to relax, meditate, or do something calming that you enjoy.
There's some evidence that certain people may actually be energized after ketamine treatments rather than fatigued. Some studies have shown less reporting of fatigue after ketamine treatments among those with bipolar disorder, while others have shown connections between ketamine treatments for depression and improvements in motivation or mood.
