I worked emergency medicine for 15 years and something finally broke. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psychiatrist had run through six med...
The accident that killed my best friend while I was driving has been with me every day for six years. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psyc...
Paxil for 18 years. Made 8 serious attempts to discontinue. Each one ended with reinstatement because the symptoms were unbearable. I'm a pharmacist and understood the mechanism, which didn't make it any easier. Disconti...
9 years of it. Started as wine that became anything available. I'd had two DUIs and lost my license. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped partially. Nothing held. My daughter sent...
Kratom was how I managed anxiety and pain without a prescription. What I know now is that kratom acts on opioid receptors and the dependency is real. When I finally decided to stop I went through three weeks of acute wit...
I'm a physician so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for burnout that had become something closer to depression. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological wor...
My addiction involved oxycodone, Xanax, and alcohol in various combinations at various points, often simultaneously. 6 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed f...
I was a functional alcoholic for over a decade. I'd been to the ER twice for alcohol poisoning. My doctor told me my liver was showing early damage. I borrowed money to come to MindScape, want to be honest about that bec...
Started kratom for just to get through work days and within 8 years I was taking 20 grams a day just to function. The online forums told me it wasn't addictive and I believed that far longer than I should have. When I tr...
Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for depression that wasn't responding to anything. The medical team spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first, ab...
I came to Cozumel expecting the worst and hoping for something I couldn't name. The medical staff at MindScape ran a proper cardiac workup before approving my case. The session was 28 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
As a nurse I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 9 years on opioids. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to get there...
Kratom at 35 grams daily for 2 years. I kept telling myself it was natural so it couldn't really be a problem. But I was planning every day around dosing, spending hundreds of dollars a month, snapping at people when I w...
16 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried six different antidepressants with diminishing returns. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting that mad...
Weekend use that became daily over about three years. Meth addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, individual therapy, medicat...
I researched the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol specifically for burnout from healthcare work over many years. MindScape was recommended in the psychedelic research community as having the strongest medical pro...

OCD and anxiety that were consuming my daily life for 16 years. On benzos for years and then couldn't stop them either. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist su...
15 years of daily drinking. I was a high-functioning version until I wasn't anymore. Tried naltrexone, Antabuse, AA, inpatient. Something always brought me back. My sister found MindScape and paid for the deposit before...
18 years on fentanyl patches. Lost a job I loved, almost lost my marriage, stopped recognizing myself. Tried everything short of ibogaine. My wife sent me the MindScape link after my second ER visit. The medical team was...
I was a firefighter for 18 years and the cumulative exposure caught up with me. My relationships were suffering. I was irritable, hypervigilant, unable to relax anywhere. Sleep was impossible without medication. A collea...
My TBI was from a football injury in my college years. Attention problems and irritability that I couldn't control. I'd been through rehabilitation and medications but the improvement had plateaued. Dr. Martinez explaine...
