Joyous - Low-Dose Ketamine TreatmentReviews of joyous.team

For years, anhedonia has plagued me. I *want* to want to do things, but I don't. I can't motivate myself to do anything not necessary for survival. BBQ happening? cool. Group hike... too tired. Relaxing movie night? Ok, but I'm sleeping in 5 minutes. I would get the spontaneous urge to do something outside of my routine, like a solitary morning hike, but my anxiety would always talk me out of it. Lately, I've been acting on the ideas with no second guessing, no overthinking. I noticed myself speaking to clients and my boss in a more assertive way, because confrontation is feeling more safe. My sleep, which tends to be excessive, has been deeper. I wake up in fewer hours feeling more rested, with no memory of my (often bad) dreams, and haven't been falling asleep at my desk at work. It seems like the sexual side effects from my other med, Wellbutrin, are less severe now that I'm taking the VLD Ketamine too. Very happy with the ease of signing up and the text message monitoring - super easy for someone with executive dysfunction, since making a phone call to a doctor can be the biggest hardest step!

Absolutely Fantastic Joyous has been an extremely fantastic service, I have had zero issues so far. Ketamine has been life-changing. Joyous is easy to communicate with and get instructions on how to take my medication. I'm so thankful for the team at Joyous, this really is the medication of the future.

Everyone has been friendly, professional, and efficient. The program is easy and I’m very hopeful for the future.

I cannot say enough good things about Joyous. Depression and anxiety have plagued me for decades. SSRIs and therapy have helped, but it always felt like an uphill battle. Since starting with Joyous, my outlook on life has changed. I'm more resilient, and I feel like I can take on whatever comes my way. Negative thoughts don't have nearly the power over me they used to. If something bad happens, I don't go spiraling into a debilitating depression but instead I'm able to lean into the pain and learn from it. I tell a lot of people about ketamine and what it's done for me. The support team at Joyous is great, and the sign up process is pretty easy and painless. I'm so grateful to have found this company and for the work they're doing. Everyone should get to experience life without depression.

Now in my second month of treatment I recommend Joyous to friends and fellow trauma survivors. The service exceeds expectations and the medication has already greatly improved my quality of life. I expect it will support the benefits of my next nerve blocks, including SGB for PTSD.

I found joyous via an Instagram ad and saw that it was $129 a month, which is unheard of. I was skeptical at first but I took the leap And signed up. Everyone was very professional, attentive, and responded quickly to any of my questions or responses. I have zero complaints and I hope they can remain as affordable as they are. Ketamine has saved my life, zero hyperbole. I only wish I had tried it sooner.

Really great service that keeps up with how you're doing and makes sure your medication is up to date. It's been life changing for me. I see my days in an entirely different light now.

I’ve been working with Joyous for two weeks for late onset, severe C-PTSD and I am happily giving them 5 stars. I also give them a bow of gratitude for offering an affordable option for ketamine treatment. They are very responsive with daily check-ins, providing advice and encouragement. The protocol of low dose ketamine works. I know (and they know) there’s minimal academic research backing this up. But, the science is there, and the studies, that ketamine is effective for treating anxiety and depression - even treatment resistant depression. So, it’s a very small leap of faith that daily or semi-daily low-dose ketamine can work. I tried the larger dose method and found it short lasting. The daily low dose protocol, for me, has created a measured and progressive path to an overall reduction in my anxiety. I have also found that if my anxiety starts rising in the day to difficult levels a small amount (20 mg) can “short-circuit” the tidal wave of building anxiety. It feels like the ketamine is helping my body rewire new pathways that in the past were on autopilot to go to anxiety. Another thing I was struggling with was rather intense depersonalization. If anyone has experienced this they know how destabilizing and disorienting it is. For me it’s much worse than the anxiety. For the past 8 months I’ve been struggling with depersonalization - and found nothing that was helping. Joyous and low-dose ketamine is helping. To me it’s amazing that a dissociative medicine can associate someone back to reality. For me to be able to start to feel like I’m of this world again is huge! After two weeks I’m not “cured” and I know this is a marathon and not a sprint. I still have challenging moments or hours and sometimes blips of depersonalization. But, I’m feeling very confident that I’m on a path that will get me through the struggle that I’ve been dealing with. I also want to add what’s been helpful for me is working with intent and purpose when I’m dosing with ketamine. I’m primarily working on connecting to my body and connecting to “source” or whatever someone might call a higher power. Plus I want to encourage anyone who’s on this path of healing the importance of exercise, meditation/mindfulness and proper nutrition. A pill or a troche is not the sole source of your healing. It does take work and a commitment to get out of bed and go for that walk, choose veggies over sugar, slow down and meditate. It all adds up! And finally, if you’re thinking of trying Joyous it is definitely worth a try. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend them.
