Ketamine Infusion Therapy for Anxiety in the Greater Milwaukee Area
R and R MD treats even the most severe cases of anxiety
Traditional anti-anxiety medications can take weeks before providing effective treatment. Ketamine infusion therapy can help reduce feelings of anxiety within hours of the first treatment and can be effective in cases of patients with treatment-resistant anxiety.
Schedule your consultation today to see if ketamine infusion therapy is right for you.
Reset Restore offers ketamine therapy for anxiety at our 2 Milwaukee area clinic locations in Mequon and Brookfield, Wisconsin.
How Ketamine helps treat anxiety
The difference between ketamine infusion therapy and traditional anti-anxiety medications is, ketamine increases glutamate activity within the brain which plays an important role in mood regulation and neuroplasticity. Traditional anti-anxiety medications primarily focus on boosting serotonin without addressing the root of the issue.
The 6 Types of Anxiety Disorders
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): GAD is characterized by excessive and persistent worry or anxiety about everyday life events and activities, often lasting for months or longer.
Panic Disorder: Panic disorder involves the experience of sudden and unexpected panic attacks, which are characterized by intense fear or discomfort and can include symptoms like sweating, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD): SAD, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear or anxiety about social situations or performance situations, often leading to avoidance of these situations.
Specific Phobias: Specific phobias are intense and persistent fears of specific objects or situations, such as spiders, heights or flying.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD involves the presence of obsessions, which are recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or images and/or compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing harm.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event and is characterized by symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, nightmares and avoidance of triggers associated with the traumatic event.
Symptoms of Anxiety

Your medical team at Reset Restore MD will use the screening tool GAD-7 to assess the presence and severity of anxiety.

This 7-item scale will be used before and upon completion of IV ketamine treatment.
Real Feelings. Real Reviews.
"I have carried the weight of depression and anxiety my entire life, thinking it was simply my burden to bear while on this Earth. After treatment with Reset Restore, I can confidently say that my depression and anxiety are in remission. I now have a breath of fresh air and the ability to work through previous roadblocks. While I enjoy remission, it’s important that I remember this is an illness, it’s possible for it to return and knowing I am able to do maintenance treatments as needed gives me the same sense of security my children feel while wearing their life jackets. I am safe. I have a team that will support my mental health journey & the team at Reset Restore is a crucial part of my support system. Ketamine infusions have given me back the joy that I felt was missing in my life; I see my children’s faces and truly see them, no longer lost in the haze of day to day living. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who struggles with mental health. Paired with therapy from an outside provider, it truly saved my life."
