Generalized anxiety disorder for 17 years. On benzos for years and then couldn't stop them either. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist suggested researching i...
The sports injury was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed morphine for 6 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra on t...
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,...
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Lexapro and can't get off. Took it for 9 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying...
The TBI from an IED in Afghanistan 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. Min...
Weekend use that became daily over about three years. Cocaine addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, individual therapy, medi...
Cross-addicted to cocaine and alcohol for 6 years. Each substance was partly managing the withdrawal from another and untangling them was impossible on my own. MindScape has specific experience with polydrug patients and...
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...
Ten years of depression, most of it managed but never resolved with Wellbutrin plus Lamictal. The medications kept me afloat but I never felt like myself. Flat affect, reduced motivation, going through motions. My therap...
I'm 24 and started using fentanyl at 21. 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...
Kratom at 50 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...
Kratom was how I managed anxiety and pain without a prescription. 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 wit...
I started drinking at 14 and was dependent by 20. 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 work at MindSca...
Started in college and never really stopped, just changed how I managed it. Cocaine addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, in...
The TBI from multiple sports concussions changed my life in ways I'm still adapting to. Cognitive slowing and depression that neurologists said was permanent. My family pushed me to try ibogaine after reading about neuro...
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...
I started kratom after getting off heroin because I thought it was safe. 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 ac...
Alcohol for 16 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...
After waking up not knowing how I got there I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 129 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening....
I'd been sober for three years before a bad relapse that lasted four more. My kids had stopped inviting me to things. My doctor told me my liver was showing early damage. I borrowed money to come to MindScape, want to be...
Kratom at capsules six times a day daily for 6 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...
I started with prescribed patches after surgery and they became something else. Tried Suboxone twice and methadone once. They managed withdrawal but didn't touch what was driving the using. My sister paid for MindScape a...
I worked as a pediatric ER nurse for 11 years. The PTSD had been running my life for years. Years of VA therapy helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction mentioned MindS...
The work accident was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed Vicodin for 11 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra on t...
