What Are the Possible Side Effects of Ketamine Therapy?

Short-term side effects of ketamine therapy may include nausea, dizziness, temporary changes in blood pressure, or disorientation during the session. These effects are typically mild and resolve the same day.

More serious side effects—such as bladder issues—are rare and are generally associated with frequent or non-medical use. In a supervised clinical setting, including ketamine therapy at our NYC clinic, patients are carefully monitored throughout the session.

Our medical team remains present to assess, support, and address any side effects that arise, ensuring safety remains central to the therapeutic process.
