I first came to MindScape about eight months ago after my neurologist ran out of ideas for my tremor. The low-dose protocol helped noticeably for about three months, then things started creeping back. So I came again. Th...
I went to MindScape five months ago for Parkinson's. The low-dose protocol was professional and the staff was caring. Small daily ibogaine doses, no psychedelic effects, good monitoring. Tremor reduced, balance better, l...
Effexor for 17 years. Made 4 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. Discon...
7 years of it. Started as a drink to wind down that became a requirement to function. My liver enzymes were elevated and my doctor was direct about what that meant. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone f...
Nobody talks about how much Parkinson's destroys your sleep. The REM behavior disorder started before the motor symptoms. I was acting out my dreams, kicking, punching, falling out of bed. My husband moved to the guest r...
My PTSD came from a childhood that included ongoing abuse. I couldn't be in crowds. Hadn't slept through the night in two years. Self-medicating with alcohol just to function. A friend who had done ibogaine for grief tol...
I had some psychedelic experience before coming, mostly psilocybin. The combination protocol is thoughtfully sequenced. The ibogaine session is substantial on its own, about 34 hours of deep introspection. I had signific...
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Lexapro and can't get off. Took it for 4 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying...
I'm a combat vet 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 colleague from my unit...
I'm a retired engineer so I researched this extensively before going. The published literature on ibogaine and GDNF is promising but still early. MindScape was transparent about that. They never promised a cure or even l...
Severe panic disorder for 18 years. On Buspar and beta blockers in combination. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist suggested researching ibogaine after conve...
12 years on hydrocodone. 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 intake team was strai...
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Celexa and can't get off. Took it for 8 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying d...
Diagnosed five years ago at 66. The progression was slow at first but accelerated over the last year. My wife handles most of my care now which is hard for both of us. We went to MindScape together and the staff treated...
I'm a retired physician myself so I came to MindScape with detailed knowledge of what Parkinson's does to the brain and a healthy skepticism about novel treatments. The low-dose ibogaine protocol made pharmacological sen...
Chronic migraines that had become near-daily and 5 years of pain management that eventually became as much of a problem as the pain. I came to MindScape because I was opioid dependent and the pain was still there. They a...
Chronic back pain for 12 years. Went through cortisone shots, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. The pain was real and constant and eventually I was on opioids long enough to develop a dependency that complicated...
Fentanyl was what was available when heroin got harder to find. Tried Suboxone twice and methadone once. They managed withdrawal but didn't touch what was driving the using. My sister paid for MindScape after my second o...
My husband and I traveled to Cozumel for his Parkinson's treatment at MindScape. He was diagnosed three years ago at 59. The tremor started in his left hand and had spread to both sides. His neurologist was open-minded a...
I was a police officer in a high-crime department for a decade. The PTSD had been running my life for years. EMDR helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction mentioned Min...
I'm 22 and started using fentanyl at 19. Cheap and available and it obliterated everything fast. Track marks on both arms when I arrived, stealing from my parents, a minor drug charge pending. The cost of coming here was...
I've had it since my teens, probably earlier. Never hospitalized but close to it for most of last year. My psychiatrist and I had exhausted most options. A family member found MindScape while researching psychedelic-assi...
Anxiety as a constant companion since childhood. Done years of CBT, tried four medications, daily mindfulness practice, all of it. Functional but exhausted. A friend mentioned MindScape and I researched ibogaine for anxi...
Five years with Parkinson's and the freezing episodes were the worst part. I'd be walking through a doorway and my feet would just stop. Fell three times in six months. My daughter found MindScape and we talked to their...
