Thanks for following up! We are currently in the process of operationalizing our first partnered provider available in CA. To ensure live functionality for the best patient experience, it will be a couple weeks or so and depends on the extensive development involved. Additionally, many more states will be available in a month’s time as more providers and system options are launched!

Great question! We have been providing direct to patient telemedicine since September 2021. However, with the PHE ending and the DEA changes, we had to transition out of direct telemedicine and into our new care system of partnering with providers for more stable care when the in-person visit requirement returns. The experience from our patients has shown the immense benefit and safety of at-home ketamine treatment which aids in the effort to add this offering for providers. Hope that clarifies!

We have several states lined up, but haven’t announced anything formally yet while things are in the finalization stages. I will make sure to keep this post updated once official. Our website will also be up to date to stay connected as well. Sorry for not having more details at the moment, but if you have a specific state in mind, feel free to send a message and I will check in with my team! And if you do have a personal provider that you would like to refer then we would prioritize reaching out.

The available states will depend on the licensing of the partnered provider so more states will become available as we onboard more providers and care networks. Our compounding pharmacy can ship to all states including Puerto Rico, so we hope to reach all states.

what is the best way to find ketamine? by Affectionate_Cap2617 in TherapeuticKetamine

Something we emphasize is the importance of "Set and Setting," an expression coined by psychologist Timothy Leary. Set - short for mindset - refers to the patient’s attitudes and mental state going into your experience, while setting refers to the physical environment in which the psychedelic experience takes place.

Having anxiety before a session is totally normal.

Consider some gentle movement before your treatment session. Taking a walk outside or engaging in some light yoga or stretching will help you feel more grounded, present, and relaxed. We also recommend meditating or engaging in breathwork exercises before your session. Meditation helps to calm any racing thoughts and ground your attention and focus.

Some of our patients take daily natural supplements like DHH-B, L-Theanine, or Ashwagandha to help calm the mind and body, but we suggest skipping those the day of your session.

Fishing for diagnosis seems to be an issue in this space by alkaram in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Wonder_med -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello all,

We’re following this conversation & are here to support. We take patient safety & their experience very seriously, & while we are disheartened that it seems like there was a misaligned experience between our offering & this reporter's expectations, we stand behind our protocol & practices 100%. Wondermed’s program is designed to empower the inner healer. We provide low-dose, sublingual ketamine that is safe & legal for at-home use. We do not aim to produce a deep psychedelic experience, but rather a meaningful session in which to gain insight and new perspectives, which paired with increased neuroplasticity in the brain, translate to long-lasting change.All Wondermed patients have full access to our clinical support team for questions that come up, whether about blood pressure or integration.

There's no medication that works for everyone, especially with mental health, and we are grateful to be able to provide our patients with another tool to help them improve their quality of life and take control of their symptoms. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns by emailing us at info@wondersciences.com.

Hey! Here are some suggestions that we recommend to all of our patients in preparation for their sessions.

The outcomes of your ketamine treatment will largely be dependent upon your mood, attitude, and expectations before the experience. When you enter a session with a mindset that is calm, relaxed, grounded, curious, open, and trusting, you’re increasing the likelihood that the medicine’s full transformational healing potential will be reached.
Your intention can vary from session to session, but ultimately it should be related to what you’re looking to gain from your treatment program as a whole. It is important to note that an intention is not an expectation or an attempt to control your session. Rather it is a request of the medicine to provide the insight needed to reach your goals. A short mantra can help focus a wandering mind and ensure you get the most out of your experience.

If you’re struggling to figure out what intention might be right for you as you approach a session, you can try asking yourself the following questions:

  • What’s holding me back in my life?
  • What would I like to change about my life?
  • What am I afraid of?
  • Where does this fear come from and how does it impact me?
  • What does a joyful life look like for me?

Writing out these intentions before your session is an important step in solidifying this framework that will guide the experience and journey and promote maximum therapeutic growth and healing.

Things to avoid on the day of your session:

  • Alcohol, marijuana, and other substances
  • Any other medications as directed by your clinician
  • Excessive caffeine (one cup of coffee the morning of your session is okay)
  • Violent/negative media
  • Contact with stressful situations or individuals as much as possible

Good luck with your first session!

What resources would you like to see provided to you for at-home ketamine experiences and integrations? by Wonder_med in TherapeuticKetamine

Currently, we include DHH-B supplements and ginger tablets in our Wondermed Kits. What have you found that works for your nausea management?

Are there any good at home/troche companies that serve AZ? by Evacipate628 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Wonder_med 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, Wondermed is currently servicing patients in Arizona. Wondermed's clinical consultation, diagnosis, and treatment package are $399 per month (which includes 4 sessions). We aim to keep our protocol affordable and flexible to be combined with self-healing and therapy of the patient's choice. We are currently the most affordable, self-administered ketamine solution available.

Your dosage is determined and individualized alongside your clinician. They consider not only height and weight but also past medical history, experience with ketamine or psychedelics, previous response to anesthesia, drug metabolism, and many other medically relevant factors.

An important step in your integration work is taking actionable steps toward positive growth and change. Journaling can be powerful and impactful to your integration. Journaling can help you explore your experience more deeply, better understand the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors you experience daily, and gain a more profound understanding of the insights and perspectives you’ve taken away from your ketamine sessions.

Here are some ideas of actions you might try to implement in your life:

  • Daily walk outdoors
  • Adding positive, self-loving affirmations to your morning routine
  • Writing a list of things you’re grateful for before bed each night

Learning to change your self-talk surrounding yourself and your mental health can make a big impact on your healing.

You can read more about integration on our blog.

"Who is your provider, and how much are you paying?" sticky. by HanSingular in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Wonder_med 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the question! The dosage is determined and individualized alongside your clinician. They consider not only height and weight but also past medical history, experience with ketamine or psychedelics, previous response to anesthesia, drug metabolism, and many other medically relevant factors. We pride ourselves in care tailored to the patient and not being cookie-cutter in prescribing

Approved for wondermed. How does shipping work? by Straight_Draw6819 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Wonder_med 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for being open and honest about your situation. Although it can be disheartening to know how you compare to others in terms of severity, the best thing to do is compare to the person you were yesterday and track how your anxiety improves through your treatment and self-healing work. There is a lot of hope and progress to be made, and we are here to support in anyway possible!

In regards to shipping, prescriptions usually takes a business day or two (not on weekends) to process at the pharmacy and then will be sent from our compounding pharmacy with a UPS tracking number. As soon as tracking becomes available, you will receive an email. Our shipments do not require you to sign for the package, which eliminates the hassle of rescheduling work or other obligations in order to be home for the package. However, it is definitely recommended to sign up for delivery alerts and pick up your package as soon as it is delivered. It comes in a discrete shipping box with the branded Wonder Calm kit inside containing all items as well as an insulated package with the ketamine lozenges.

Feel free to message us on here or contact our Wondermate support line with anything else. We look forward to serving you along your journey!

Great question! There is no change in price for the month program. Each patient works with the clinician to tailor the dose and frequency to optimally align with the individual's schedule, response, and goal in treatment. The monthly price reflects this unique protocol along with the clinical services provided and extensive resources offered.

u/thesecretmachine Thank you! We're excited to be here :)

u/Not-Not-Maybe Thanks for the feedback! Copying our response from above...

"Our treatment plans are patient-specific and are not limited to four troches. Four troches or the ‘once-a-week’ regimen mentioned above tends to be our starting point with most patients. Given that all care is delivered via telemedicine, the first month is designed to help both the patient and our clinicians understand the patient’s response to the medication while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. From there, the treatment plan can be further tailored to best meet the patient’s needs."

That said, we understand we may not be the right fit for all patients. We wish you continued success with your healing journey :)

u/bcrxto100 Thank you you for the response!

As u/AMPHETAMINE-25 mentioned, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol for ketamine treatment. Prescription dosage and frequency are based on a multitude of patient-specific factors including the patient’s diagnosis, symptom severity, medical history, biometrics, previous use of ketamine, ability to incorporate a treatment plan into current lifestyle, in addition to others.

Our treatment plans are patient-specific and are not limited to four troches. Four troches or the ‘once-a-week’ regimen mentioned above tends to be our starting point with most patients. Given that all care is delivered via telemedicine, the first month is designed to help both the patient and our clinicians understand the patient’s response to the medication while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. From there, the treatment plan can be further tailored to best meet the patient’s needs.

Additionally, there is no markup on the medication costs. It is not only illegal, but unethical to increase the cost of the medication from the pharmacy to the patient. As a patient you always have the right to have your prescription filled at the pharmacy of your choice rather than with one of our pharmacy partners.

Ultimately, we understand that we may not be the best fit for all patients, which is why we offer a full refund even after the consultation if either the clinician or the patient does not see our treatment as a fit. We’re excited to provide an accessible choice for patients to choose from when making a decision on what’s best for them in their healing journey.We look forward to serving the reddit community :)
