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...
12 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...
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...
I'll be honest, the cost was hard to justify on a fixed income. But my family pooled together because my Parkinson's had progressed to the point where I needed help with basic things. Buttons, cutting food, getting dress...
After waking up not knowing how I got there I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 119 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening....
Cymbalta for 11 years. Made 8 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. Disco...
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...
Depression since my early twenties. 17 years of it, managed imperfectly. Every psychiatrist I saw wanted to try a different combination. Some helped somewhat. Nothing was lasting. I came to MindScape after reading that i...
My PTSD came from a sexual assault I never reported. 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 told me a...
I started drinking at 14 and was dependent by 20. By the time I came to MindScape I had more failed sobriety attempts than I could count. The longest stretch was 11 months. The pre-treatment psychological work at MindSca...
I was a binge drinker, not daily, but the damage was the same. By the time I came to MindScape I had more failed sobriety attempts than I could count. The longest stretch was 11 months. The pre-treatment psychological wo...
I researched the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol specifically for anxiety that had been treatment-resistant. MindScape was recommended in the psychedelic research community as having the strongest medical protoc...
Depression since my early twenties. 12 years of it, managed imperfectly. Every psychiatrist I saw wanted to try a different combination. Some helped somewhat. Nothing was lasting. I came to MindScape after reading that i...
I'm 71. Diagnosed nine years ago. I've tried everything my insurance covers and a few things it doesn't. When my son told me about ibogaine for Parkinson's I thought he was crazy. But he showed me the research papers and...
As a contractor I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 12 years on pain pills. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to...
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Prozac and can't get off. Took it for 11 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying...
