Jump to FAQ for Ketamine, IV Hydration, or Vitamin Injections
IV Ketamine is a fast-acting, medically supervised infusion therapy that may help support relief for:
Depression
Anxiety
PTSD
Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
Chronic Pain (including migraines, fibromyalgia)
Mood disorders that haven’t improved with traditional treatments
Ketamine infusion therapy is an IV treatment that may help relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood-related conditions—especially when traditional medications haven’t worked well.
Some patients report feeling improvement within hours to a few days after treatment, though results vary. Many people benefit most after completing a full series.
Many protocols start with a series of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance infusions as needed based on symptom return.
IV ketamine is commonly used off-label for depression and mood conditions. A related medication called esketamine (Spravato®) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression.
Ketamine has been used in medicine for decades. When administered in a controlled medical setting with monitoring, it is generally considered safe for appropriate candidates.
Some patients experience mild dissociation, dream-like sensations, or changes in perception during the infusion. These effects typically wear off shortly after treatment.
Ketamine may help reduce PTSD symptoms by supporting brain pathways involved in mood regulation and trauma response. Many patients notice improved emotional resilience after a series.
Yes—many patients report reduced anxiety symptoms, fewer intrusive thoughts, and improved calmness. Response depends on your diagnosis and personal history.
In many cases, no referral is required. Your clinic will typically complete a medical intake to determine eligibility.

Ketamine may be considered for:
CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
Fibromyalgia
Neuropathic pain
Chronic migraine (in some cases)
Pain not responding to other treatments
Yes. Ketamine may support chronic pain conditions by working on NMDA receptors involved in pain signaling.
Chronic pain protocols often involve different dosing, infusion length, and treatment schedules compared to ketamine used for depression or anxiety.
Treatment plans vary. Some patients require a short series of infusions, while others may benefit from longer or maintenance-based protocols depending on symptom response.
Some patients report improvement during or shortly after treatment, while others may notice gradual changes over multiple sessions.

SoCal Infusions (Southern California Infusion Therapy) is a Pasadena-based clinic specializing in ketamine infusions and advanced infusion therapies for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain conditions.
SoCal Infusions uses ketamine to help adults with complex mood and pain conditions, including major depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, and select postpartum mood symptoms.
Patients begin with a medical evaluation. If ketamine is appropriate, the anesthesiology-led team creates a personalized infusion plan—typically a series of IV treatments delivered in a monitored, spa-like setting. Symptoms are closely tracked, and treatment plans are adjusted as needed.
The clinic is located at 301 S Fair Oaks Ave, Suite 301, Pasadena, CA, in a medical office building near major streets and local hospitals. It is convenient for patients from Pasadena, South Pasadena, and surrounding communities.
Appointments are typically available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
SoCal Infusions does not accept insurance for treatments. However, the clinic partners with third-party financing providers, such as CareCredit, to offer flexible payment options.
Good candidates are typically adults with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain who have not responded well to standard treatments. The medical team reviews your health history, medications, and current symptoms to determine whether ketamine is a safe and appropriate option.
