Severe panic disorder for 16 years. On every medication my psychiatrist could justify trying. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist suggested researching ibogai...
I'd been sober for three years before a bad relapse that lasted four more. 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...
14 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...
A work injury with permanent nerve damage and 9 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 addr...
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...
Effexor for 15 years. Made 7 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...
Three tours of Iraq. I came back different and never fully came back. 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...
10 years of cocaine. My nose was damaged and I was having chest pain during any exertion. Came to MindScape after my cardiologist told me I needed to stop. The intake screening paid specific attention to my cardiac histo...
Getting off Suboxone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 13 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
20 years of it. Started as social drinking that became morning drinking over about five years. My kids had stopped calling and I knew why. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped part...
Started in college and never really stopped, just changed how I managed it. Meth addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, indiv...
Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for burnout and anxiety that had become debilitating. Dr. Reyes spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first, about...
I came as a wellness client, no addiction history, for long-standing habits I hadn't been able to change through conventional means. The medical screening was just as thorough as I understand it is for addiction patients...
I'm a therapist so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for a persistent sense of meaninglessness. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological work, some difficult...
My addiction involved oxycodone, Xanax, and alcohol in various combinations at various points, often simultaneously. 9 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed f...
Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 12 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
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 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...
Six years into my Parkinson's diagnosis and the medication adjustments felt like a losing game. Every six months something would need tweaking. My occupational therapist mentioned ibogaine research and I started digging....
After two Narcan reversals I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 131 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening. They found a prol...
On Effexor for 8 years. My psychiatrist and I agreed it was time to come off, but every attempt failed. Dizziness so severe I couldn't drive, plus nausea and a return of depression. I'd been trying to discontinue for ove...
After multiple overdoses I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 123 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening. They found a prolon...
Seven years with Parkinson's. The dyskinesias from my medications were almost as bad as the disease itself. Involuntary movements, jerking, the whole mess. I went to MindScape hoping the low-dose ibogaine protocol might...
