I also have stopped several drugs and lost a good amount of weight.
Can ketamine infusions make you lose your hair?

LeeAnne; I have looked in many places and can not find where this medication causes hair loss and also it should not be used long enough to cause many problems and stays in your system for a very short time. It could also be other medication that you mention or a combination of medications. But if this and the weight loss continues I hope you are under a doctors care. Good luck to you and have a nice day.

Thank you chuck1957 for doing some digging. I have appointments with two of three physicians this week that will hopefully give me some answers. When you stop taking medications that you have been on for years, it must be quite the shock to your system. If I find anything out of interest I will post it.
