5-MeO-DMT Therapy
The 5-MeO experience is unlike anything else

I came with no prior psychedelic experience. The combination protocol is thoughtfully sequenced. The ibogaine session is substantial on its own, about 34 hours of deep introspection. I had significant nausea throughout a...

Multiple Substances

Cross-addicted to Suboxone and alcohol for 4 years. Each substance was partly managing the withdrawal from another and untangling them was impossible on my own. MindScape has specific experience with polydrug patients an...

Fentanyl almost took everything

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...

Diagnosed at 58, now 64. The standard meds help but the on-off cycles were getting worse every year. My neurologist couldn't offer much beyond adjusting timing and dosages. I found the research on ibogaine and GDNF upreg...

Came back for a second round and glad I did

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...
