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...
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...
