Numerous studies have demonstrated that low‐dose subanesthetic intravenous ketamine infusion treatment leads to rapid improvement of treatment‐resistant depression. The following case report describes the use of a very low‐dose subcutaneous ketamine as a form of maintenance in a patient with severe treatment‐resistant depression using a retrospective chart review. Subcutaneous ketamine can be a practical, affordable, and safe technique for treatment‐resistant depression as both acute and maintenance treatment. We describe a titration‐up method for effective and tolerable dosing based on the clinical response.
