I've read that 52% of people are responders. These are people who have not previously responded to other treatments. And they usually respond within a couple hours of the first treatment. Remission generally lasts about one week. Dr. David Feifel at UCSD Medical Center is giving IV ketamine infusions to depressed patients two or three times a week for about two weeks, hoping that this will cause their depression to go into remission for a longer period. Dr. Nancy Sajben in La Jolla prescribes intranasal ketamine for depression. There are other doctors around the country who are doing this as well.
