Study Notes
Dissociative Anesthetics: PCP and Ketamine
- Phencyclidine (PCP) was developed as an anesthetic but caused atypical responses such as catatonic-like states and motor rigidity, leading to its clinical use being stopped in 1965.
- In 1967, PCP became an illicit street drug known as "angel dust" or "hog," and its street supply usually comes from medical or veterinary sources.
- Ketamine was developed as a safer alternative to PCP, used as an anesthetic for certain procedures and by veterinarians as a sedative and immobilizing agent.
- Ketamine is usually sold on the street as "K," "special K," or "cat Valium," and its street supply often comes from medical or veterinary sources.
- Both PCP and ketamine are noncompetitive antagonists of NMDA receptors and have high abuse potential, with chronic use leading to various health issues such as urological problems and memory deficits.
- Ketamine has been recommended as an anesthetic agent for pediatric procedures and has been found to alleviate depression rapidly in treatment-resistant patients, with effects lasting weeks.
- Ketamine's antidepressant mechanism of action primarily depends on the antagonism of NMDARs on GABAergic interneurons, preventing GABA release and allowing for the release of glutamate, leading to downstream effects.
- Ketamine has been found to reverse stress-induced neuronal atrophy and normalize dendritic arborization and spine density, with effects similar to traditional antidepressants.
- Ketamine's antidepressant effects typically emerge approximately four hours after intravenous administration, and patients are often maintained on regimens of once every two weeks to two months.
- Ketamine has been reported to help people disconnect from their bodies and thoughts, with rapid alleviation of depression symptoms in a significant percentage of treatment-resistant patients.
- Ketamine's therapeutic dose produces transient cognitive dysfunction similar to cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, and too high of a dose loses its antidepressant effects.
- Ketamine has been found to have similar effects to traditional antidepressants in inducing rapid BDNF production, increased synaptogenesis, and spine density, with a neuroadaptive state occurring much faster.
