Anxiety

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...

Chronic Pain

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...

PTSD & Trauma

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...

SSRI Discontinuation
The brain zaps stopped after years

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...

PTSD & Trauma

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...

Cocaine & Stimulants
Clean from cocaine, actually

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...

Methadone & Suboxone

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...

Cocaine & Stimulants

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...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

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...
