End the IV Ketamine Ban at the St. Louis VA

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has already approved IV ketamine and esketamine for the treatment of PTSD and treatment resistant depression at the national level.

In St. Louis, the VA Mental Health Department is blocking IV ketamine across the board. They are denying veterans access to a proven therapy that is already available at other VA hospitals around the country.

Senator Tammy Duckworth is aware of the issue and has a legislative opinion on her desk addressing it. The more veterans who reach out, the more pressure we create to make change happen.

If you are a veteran who supports equal access to IV ketamine treatment, fill out the form below. Check the box and click submit. An email will be sent directly to Senator Duckworth’s office adding your name to the growing list of veterans demanding action.

Together we can push the St. Louis VA to do what is right for the men and women who have already given so much.

Message to Senator Duckworth

Hello, I am a veteran and constituent of Senator Duckworth. I urgently request Senator Duckworth’s assistance to ensure the St. Louis VA provides IV ketamine for qualifying veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD and depression. Other VA systems already offer this therapy, St. Louis should not be an outlier. Please raise this with VA leadership and help secure timely access for veterans who meet clinical criteria. I would like to join the multi-veteran advocacy push on this issue. Please add my name to any list or coalition working to expand access. I am asking to be part of the coordinated effort.
