How Creatine interacts with ketamine
Creatine supports cellular ATP regeneration. Brain energy metabolism implications underlie the antidepressant interest. No direct ketamine PK interaction.
What we do at intake
Continue as normal. Hydrate well (creatine pulls water into cells).
Bottom line
Creatine and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. Beyond its established performance use, there is growing evidence for creatine as a depression adjunct, particularly in women. Compatible with KAP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does creatine interact with ketamine?
No clinically significant interaction. Creatine and ketamine are fully compatible. There is growing evidence for creatine as a depression adjunct, particularly in women.
Can I take creatine during ketamine therapy?
Yes. Creatine is fully compatible with KAP. Continue your normal dose and hydrate well, since creatine pulls water into cells.
Will creatine affect my ketamine session?
No. Creatine does not blunt or enhance ketamine's antidepressant response. It supports cellular ATP regeneration but does not interact with ketamine pharmacokinetics.
Is creatine helpful for depression alongside ketamine?
Possibly. There is growing evidence for creatine as a depression adjunct, particularly in women, though it is not a substitute for KAP. Brain energy metabolism implications underlie the interest.
What should I tell my KAP team about creatine?
Mention you take it and your typical dose. No timing adjustment is needed and you can continue creatine through your KAP course.
