Joyous - Low-Dose Ketamine Treatment Reviews 1,108

I owe my life to Joyous! I had debilitating depression and anxiety, I was ready to permanently clock out but my gut told me to just try this once, give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! I got my life back, I'm finally getting rid of the doomey gloom feeling I woke up to every single day, now I recommend this to everyone I think could benefit from it and several have tried it and it's working for them too! Do not lose hope! Please call Joyous today, get your life back! Thanks again Joyous and care team!

I do not reccommend this service. I spoke with a medical professional by Zoom call and desribed some anxiety and sleep deprivation that resulted from it. They gave me a perscription and I started taking it. No real change, except for the feeling of being on drugs every night before bed. Eventually had to stop because I couldnt dedicate 2-3 hours a day to being on drugs. When I made a second appointment to cancel, the medical nurse practitioner I spoke to said I should have never been given the perscription in the first place because my symptoms didn't align with anythign treatable by Ketamine. That's malpractice! How was I given a schedualed drug to take with almost no oversight except daily text messages?! They cancled my service and then charged me for a perscriiption refill....which I never got and explicitly requested not to recieve. They then refused to refund me. They are basically just shady internet drug dealers operating through a loophole. I do hope it helps some people but be careful what actions you take based on people selling drugs online.
update: i got a refund for the most recent charge (allegedly) after posting this review.... do with that information what you will.

Only needed short therapy and I felt great after just one session.

Taking the Ketamine and setting intentions while doing meditations works. You have to be completely open and honest for it to work. It's not easy to surrender but it's worth it... digging up the dirt you have buried so deep takes time. Be patient and kind.

Overall I had a very positive experience with Joyous, BUT I attribute my success to the medication plus my dedication to doing the mental work to improve. This is not a program you can expect to just take a medication and you’ll be ‘fixed’. The medication is a tool to help you make whatever progress you need in your own healing journey. For me, that included a lot of self-reflection, journaling, art, and movement therapy in addition to taking the medication. I was able to process a LOT of past trauma and get over some big humps that I’d been dealing with my whole life. Once that progress was apparent though, I felt very stagnant and the affects on my major depressive disorder outside trauma were not sustained. From reading more about Ketamine therapy, this is a common finding. It’s not generally a permanent fix. The Joyous providers themselves were merely there to do your appointment and prescribe the medication. There is no therapy and it is very hands-off, so I feel that you must be self-motivated and disciplined to be successful in this. The patient portal does have resources and a community forum, but again, very self-guided.

This company is a scam—they will do their best to not refill your medication whilst continuing to charge you monthly, and will not refund you! They tried sending me to two separate providers today, and still at the end of the day I have no refill available. My first medications were sent early June, and I have been out for a long time, they do not care. Will they ever refill it? Who knows! But they sure love charging me in the mean time! This company is shady and does not treat its patients professionally. Don’t waste your time and money, quit now, and use another company I’m not kidding they are so awful!!

I can’t recommend this service enough … I have tried every medication under the sun for my treatment resistant depression and this made a difference more than anything with no big side effects. I had a wonderful practitioner who was kind understanding and caring. It is also extremely affordable compared to other treatments.

Using low dose ketamine while journaling at home for the last seven months has been a game changer for my mental health. I’ve been able to process traumatic events and heavy emotions. I went from severe anxiety to mild. While I don’t know that I’ll ever be cured (I’m a solid type A personality), I know most days are good days and the bad ones are manageable.

they found a compound lab where ketamine gets shipped from. def Predatory business practices, shipping issues, billing issues...they shut down my ability to access my portal so, it's been emails and FB messenger where they promise to ' pass it on to their team" - not recommended for mental health. I've been fighting for my refund since april - it's july 8.

No response from the many offers to contact their ' care team' crickets.

Convenient process and it does help how you feel

Been on the program for four months. I’m not sure if I think I feel better or not. My issue really has to do with dosage and their mailing practices. I live in the Las Vegas area. In the shade, it’s over 110 daily during the summer much less my black mailbox that is in direct sunlight all day. I track the shipment this time initially telling me it will take seven days for delivery from the east coast to Nevada. Well, it came early and because I wasn’t expecting it until Monday I was out of town. The product not packed in ice sat in a very hot mailbox for two days. They were melted once again (my second shipment that was melted). Question: How in the world do I report what milligram I’m taking when the product is so melted in the packaging that some squares have barely anything in them? Isn’t this supposed to be precise measurements.

I started to feel major improvements in my depression within a couple of weeks. After about 2 months, I felt a tremendous relief in my anxiety symptoms!

I’ve been in treatment with Joyous for 16 months using ketamine troches, and it has helped me tremendously. I was struggling with grief and depression, and traditional SSRIs left me feeling tired, unlike myself, or came with difficult side effects. Ketamine has been a different experience no side effects, and a noticeable lift in my mood and clarity. It also helped me manage anxiety during some very challenging college courses. I’m truly grateful for this program and the support it’s provided me through a difficult time.

The reason I started treatment was due to my oldest son dying. I was a trauma mess and needed something different than normal depression meds. I was on ketamine 14 months. It has helped me get over the depression hump I was experiencing. It helped clear my mind from intrusive thoughts and feelings. It helped me sleep. It helped me grieve in an appropriate way. I 💯 recommend ketamine.

This is a text-based business. Yes, text. . . Shocking because they are selling psychedelics. You sign up for an initial intake by text for a telehealth appointment. This call included a woman in her kitchen who said she'd call me back and didn't. I sent several texts about waiting for this person, etc, and no one responded. I signed up again. I received the link for the call. Then, I got a text saying the call hadn't been confirmed and to reschedule. I reached out by text asking why it wasn't confirmed and no one responded. But, I did get the call at our scheduled time. The 'nurse' (maybe) answered my questions and told me to hold for a provider to get me approved. I held for 47 mins. During our 'hold' time the nurse kept encouraging me to reschedule with the provider. I asked, and you can't set up an appointment with a provider!! I said, "why would I reschedule just to be back in a queue?" She finally said I was in the providers' queue and after a long wait, I hung up. My opinion is that they figured out a loophole in our health system for drug seekers. This is not a professional or supportive system for people seeking mental health benefits.

I have been diagnoised with Treatment Depressoon for over 30 years. This depression has never lifted enough.
It took some time before the Ketamine started to work. Maybe two or three months. But I can honestly say it improved my depression significantly! The Joyous personnel were terrific to answer the questions I sent to them right away. I felt very supported by them. All-in-all, it has been very beneficial for me.

Great experience! I love the check in’s and extra support offered by Joyous

I didn’t love the waxy troches but prescriptions were easily refilled and a team advisor was always available and responsive. Resources were great and I was blown away by the impact to my levels of depression and anxiety. I have recommended this program to so many people and will continue to recommend it.

Joyous has helped me heal from devastating loss and subsequent depression/anxiety. Healing from this loss seemed out of reach when I started my journey 6 months ago. This treatment has been very effective and my provider Carmen has been amazing throughout my entire care journey! Thank you and I will definitely recommend!

This company has been efficient in helping me in my experience with my treatment. By following suggestions by checking in daily participating in patient portal and in beginning especially keeping in touch with my personal Dr administrator ( appointment weekly) open communication.I have had noting but a positive experience and highly recommend.
