5-MeO-DMT Therapy

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....

SSRI Discontinuation

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...

Depression
Treatment-resistant depression met its match

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...

PTSD & Trauma

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...

Kratom withdrawal is real and ibogaine helped
