  • In some patients, the rapid antidepressant action of ketamine can last for days, or even weeks. This, says Dr. Lisa Monteggia, is incredible for a drug that is cleared from the body very quickly. Over recent years, The Monteggia laboratory at the University of Vanderbilt has been investigating the molecular mechanisms that underly this rapid action.
