PTSD & Trauma

I work in emergency medicine and the cumulative exposure caught up with me. My relationships were suffering. I was irritable, hypervigilant, unable to relax anywhere. Sleep was impossible without medication. A colleague...

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'm 25 and started using fentanyl at 18. 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...

Came as a last resort and it worked

The work accident was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed Vicodin for 8 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra on th...

Methadone & Suboxone

7 years on methadone. It was the right call at the time, it got me off oxycodone and stabilized my life. But I reached a point where I wanted to be completely free of maintenance medication. Coming off methadone is bruta...

My PTSD came from seven years of domestic violence that I finally escaped. 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 ibogai...

I'd been through residential trauma treatment before coming to MindScape. The trauma was real and the treatment helped partially. But there was a layer I couldn't access through conventional work. My therapist actually s...

Combined protocol exceeded what I hoped for

I'm a veteran 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,...
