Shari B. Kaplan describes a six-week ketamine-assisted psychotherapy protocol using 25 mg of oral ketamine once weekly. Neurodivergent patients, especially autistic children, respond well to this low dose, which increases access to thoughts, promotes relaxation, and provides dopaminergic stimulation to support therapeutic work.
were working with a 6-week protocol of ketamine. So once a week for 6 weeks. Mm-hmm. So by using 25 milligrams orally with a patient, so like some kids who are neurodivergent or on the spectrum, like they do great taking 25 milligrams and then all of a sudden they have more access to their thoughts and they can share more and you can more easily do the work with them because their body's more relaxed. And then they get the benefit of the dopamine. When you're done, and they find that they're doing better during the week.
