Anxiety Disorder

Thrive IV provides physician-administered ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety disorders — including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and anxious depression — at our Dartmouth, Massachusetts clinic. Many people with anxiety either go untreated or don’t respond fully to standard medication. Ketamine calms overactive stress pathways and supports new patterns of thinking, and it is administered and monitored by Dr. Michael Pellegrino, DO. A typical starting course is six infusions over three weeks.

For some patients with persistent anxiety, compounded nasal ketamine therapy may be an alternative to IV infusion. Treatments are given in our Dartmouth office and monitored by our clinical team, with the same physician-led evaluation and follow-up as our infusion program. Ask us at your consultation whether nasal delivery is appropriate for your situation.

Currently, General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affects 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the U.S. population, yet only 43.2% are receiving treatment, often unsuccessfully. Recent research has shown that Ketamine can effectively treat a wide array of anxiety disorders including Anxious Depression, SAD & GAD.

Ketamine therapy is a safe, effective alternative for anxiety treatment which can improve your overall well being, enabling you to take control of your life and make positive changes for yourself, your relationships, social life and work experiences. We specialize in adding Ketamine infusions to help increase your feeling of well being and reduce the terrible pain, depression or anxiety you've been experiencing, giving you hope to live a happier and more productive, fulfilled life.
