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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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....Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

I found kratom during a stressful period and just never stopped. What I know now is that kratom acts on opioid receptors and the dependency is real. When I finally decided to stop I went through three weeks of acute with...Read more

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...Read more

Effexor for 8 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. Discont...Read more

10 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...Read more

Vietnam vet, 76 years old, Parkinson's for the last eight years. The VA has been good to me but there's only so much they can do. My grandson found MindScape online and helped me set everything up. I was nervous about tr...Read more

Started kratom for opioid withdrawal and within 7 years I was taking 40 grams a day just to function. The online forums told me it wasn't addictive and I believed that far longer than I should have. When I tried to stop...Read more

18 years of it. Started as wine that became anything available. My liver enzymes were elevated and my doctor was direct about what that meant. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped...Read more

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...Read more

Chronic migraines that had become near-daily and 6 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...Read more

Degenerative disc disease for 9 years. Went through three surgeries that didn't resolve the underlying issue. The pain was real and constant and eventually I was on opioids long enough to develop a dependency that compli...Read more

On Effexor for 11 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 ov...Read more

Diagnosed four years ago at 63. My neurologist is supportive of me exploring complementary approaches alongside my standard treatment. When I brought him the ibogaine research he reviewed it carefully and said the low-do...Read more

I'm 32 and started using fentanyl at 25. 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...Read more
