Ketamine Therapy Info

Did you know that using oxytocin for depression and anxiety can help alleviate symptoms?

I wondered why oxytocin was administered along with my ketamine IV and did some research on it. It turns out that oxytocin works to make the amygdala ( the part of your brain responsible for stress and anxiety) less reaction.

Oxytocin is know as the “love hormone” and boosts feelings of trust, empathy and openness to risk. Less stress leads to better well being. Oxytocin for depression and anxiety is now being used as an add on treatment to medications to treat symptoms.

I was shocked to find out that oxytocin can be purchase over the counter!

It’s available in a nasal spray through Walmart.com here for about $35 dollars. https://www.walmart.com/ip/OxyPure-Oxytocin-Spray-12IU/378166215

Despite my trying the nasal spray, I found that I prefer to take a supplement to boost my own body’s production of oxytocin. You can buy it here it in a capsule. It works much better for me.
