Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for depression that wasn't responding to anything. The clinical staff spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first,...
Three tours of Iraq. I came back different and never fully came back. 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...
As a nurse I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 7 years on opioids. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to get there...
Degenerative disc disease for 11 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 complic...
My PTSD came from a childhood that included ongoing abuse. 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 tol...
I was a firefighter for 18 years 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 collea...
A work injury with permanent nerve damage and 3 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 addr...
My addiction involved opioids, benzos, and alcohol at various points, often simultaneously. 12 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substances. Th...
120mg of methadone for 6 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 was...
Getting off Suboxone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 11 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
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...
