I got into fentanyl through a dealer who switched without telling me. 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 se...
Complex regional pain syndrome for 13 years. Went through years of physical therapy and pain management combined. The pain was real and constant and eventually I was on opioids long enough to develop a dependency that co...
Started on hydrocodone after a car accident and never got off. 4 years later I was broke and lying to everyone I loved. Did two rehabs and a Suboxone program before my brother found MindScape. Skeptical doesn't cover it....
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Celexa and can't get off. Took it for 4 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying d...
Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 7 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...

On Cymbalta for 11 years. My psychiatrist and I agreed it was time to come off, but every attempt failed. Emotional flooding and then numbness alternating without warning. I'd been trying to discontinue for over two year...
I'm a retired nurse so I approached this with professional skepticism. Diagnosed with Parkinson's four years ago, progressing faster than average. The MindScape team sent me their protocol documentation before I committe...
I've had it since my teens, probably earlier. Two hospitalizations after attempts. My psychiatrist and I had exhausted most options. A family member found MindScape while researching psychedelic-assisted therapy. I was n...
After two Narcan reversals I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 118 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...
I came as a wellness client, no addiction history, for burnout from a decade of high-pressure work. The medical screening was just as thorough as I understand it is for addiction patients. They asked detailed questions a...
16 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've had Parkinson's for eleven years so I'm further along than most people who go to MindScape for this. I want to set realistic expectations for others in a similar position. The low-dose protocol was well administered...
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 came out of genuine curiosity and a desire for deeper self-understanding. Honest disclosure for anyone considering this as a wellness client: think carefully about whether you're ready for something this demanding. I w...
Generalized anxiety disorder for 7 years. On Buspar and beta blockers in combination. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist suggested researching ibogaine after...
80mg of methadone daily for 4 years. The clinic kept recommending I lower my dose but every attempt ended with withdrawal severe enough to derail everything. I'd given up on ever being off methadone completely. MindScape...
Alcohol for 9 years. The trajectory is familiar but living it is different from reading about it. I lost a business, a marriage, the trust of people I loved. I was in outpatient treatment when someone mentioned ibogaine....
I'm a survivor of childhood abuse that I kept buried for years. The PTSD had been running my life for years. Exposure therapy helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction m...
Fentanyl doesn't give you a lot of time. I knew that and kept using anyway. The withdrawal is what kept me trapped, every attempt at sobriety ended the same way. A friend from my old using circle was 18 months clean afte...
5 years on buprenorphine. It was the right call at the time, it got me off heroin and stabilized my life. But I reached a point where I wanted to be completely free of maintenance medication. Coming off buprenorphine is...
Kratom at 20 grams daily for 7 years. I kept telling myself it was natural so it couldn't really be a problem. But I was planning every day around dosing, spending hundreds of dollars a month, snapping at people when I w...
8 years of cocaine. I'd burned through my savings and was starting to borrow from the wrong people. Came to MindScape after my cardiologist told me I needed to stop. The intake screening paid specific attention to my car...
Retired Marine, diagnosed with Parkinson's at 56. I've dealt with worse things but watching your body slowly stop listening to you is its own kind of battle. My VA neurologist was supportive when I told him about the ibo...
