What Are The Side Effects Of Ketamine Infusions For CRPS?

I have been receiving Ketamine infusions since 2013 for CRPS and it has saved my life. I can now get around without severe pain. My question is, I have lost 75lbs since starting. I am not upset because I had gained a significant amount of weight due to being bedridden, but, I was just wandering.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Common side effects of ketamine hydrochloride include dream-like feeling, blurred vision, double vision, jerky muscle movements, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or sleep problems (insomnia).

Weight loss is not common with ketamine. So search for some other cause of weight loss.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
