I worked emergency medicine for 15 years and something finally broke. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psychiatrist had run through six med...
Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 5 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
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...
80mg of methadone daily for 5 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...
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...
Started in college and never really stopped, just changed how I managed it. Meth addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, indiv...
12 years on fentanyl patches. Lost a job I loved, almost lost my marriage, stopped recognizing myself. Tried everything short of ibogaine. My wife sent me the MindScape link after my second ER visit. Dr. Arellano was str...
The TBI from a bad car crash changed my life in ways I'm still adapting to. Emotional dysregulation and word retrieval problems. My family pushed me to try ibogaine after reading about neuroplasticity research. MindScape...
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 32 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
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...
After two Narcan reversals I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 127 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 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 24 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
I'd been through intensive outpatient EMDR 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 sugg...
I'm a combat vet 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 from my unit...
My PTSD came from losing my brother to suicide when I was 22. 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...
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 30 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
Cymbalta 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. Disco...
7 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried six different antidepressants with diminishing returns. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting that made...
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...
Recreational for years before it became something I couldn't stop. Meth addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, individual the...
The accident that killed my best friend while I was driving has been with me every day for six years. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psyc...
I run a small business and I've been managing high-functioning depression for 6 years. Showed up, did the work, kept commitments. Inside running on empty. ECT wasn't something I wanted and I wasn't eligible for most tria...
Got into fentanyl through buying what I thought was oxy off a friend. 3 years later I was using just to stay out of withdrawal. The sickness from fentanyl is relentless, sweats, restless legs that don't stop, vomiting, b...
Started kratom for chronic pain and within 3 years I was taking 15 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 I had...
