Any sudden weight loss can be tricky, especially if you have to balance insulin or other medication levels. Ketamine can sometimes cause nausea or loss of appetite, which might lead to dropping some kilos. Please keep a track of your food intake and discuss these symptoms with your physician.
Look, if you are not eating properly because of nausea after your treatment, you will obviously lose weight. Ketamine is a strong drug and can upset your stomach. Eat light food like khichdi and go tell your doctor about this weight loss without delay.
Hey, don't worry too much, sometimes our bodies react to strong medications by temporarily losing appetite. Just try to focus on taking rest and eating nourishing meals when you can. I highly recommend letting your doctor know so they can monitor you closely.
If you are losing weight, try to eat small portions of healthy food every few hours even if you don't feel hungry. Sipping coconut water or fresh juice can also help keep your energy levels up. Make sure to consult your doctor to ensure the weight loss is not due to any underlying complication.
I had a very bad experience with rapid weight loss and severe dehydration during my treatment phase because I ignored my lack of appetite. Please do not make the same mistake I did. Go see your doctor immediately and get your kidney function and electrolyte levels checked.

I went through a phase of losing about 4 kgs during my ketamine sessions due to persistent post-infusion nausea. What really helped me was taking a mild anti-nausea medication prescribed by my doctor an hour before, which brought my appetite back. Definitely discuss this with your medical team.
