Fentanyl Addiction

I started on prescription fentanyl patches after a cancer surgery and transitioned to street fentanyl when my prescription was cut. The team used a bridging protocol with short-acting opioids before the ibogaine. The session was 25 hours of vivid visions — some beautiful, some terrifying. When it ended, the withdrawal that I had been dreading was manageable. I'm writing this at 1 months clean.

Chronic Pain

Complex regional pain syndrome in my left arm after surgery. They said there was evidence ibogaine could reset central sensitization. Pain levels from a constant 8/10 to an average of 2/10. It's been 11 months.

Cocaine & Stimulants

Cocaine addiction doesn't get the same sympathy as opioid addiction but it's equally devastating. $2,000 a week. The ibogaine was 24 hours of confronting the grandiosity and self-destruction. The compulsive redosing urge was markedly reduced. 17 months clean.

PTSD & Trauma

I was in a car accident that killed my passenger, my best friend. For 6 years I relived that moment. The ibogaine at MindScape addressed the guilt, the survivor's shame. All of it, in one 20-hour session. My PCL-5 dropped 40 points. I can drive again. I can be a passenger again.

Multiple Substances

Fentanyl and methamphetamine together. The 7-day preparation was a medical achievement. The session addressed both addictions and the underlying trauma. 17 months clean from everything.

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I was skeptical about the 5-MeO-DMT. The team explained the rationale — ibogaine for processing specific content, 5-MeO-DMT for releasing attachment to self. The session was the most profound experience of my life. When I returned, the anxiety and depression felt like a story I no longer needed to tell. 4 months later, the shift persists.

Cocaine & Stimulants

Cocaine addiction doesn't get the same sympathy as opioid addiction but it's equally devastating. $2,000 a week. The ibogaine was 33 hours of confronting the grandiosity and self-destruction. The compulsive redosing urge was markedly reduced. 29 months clean.

Alcohol

My doctor told me I had about two years before my liver failed. The ibogaine session was 36 hours of understanding why I was slowly killing myself. Since treatment, 28 months ago, I haven't had a drink. My latest labs show my liver function improving.

Alcohol

I didn't think I had a problem because I only drank wine. But I was going through two bottles a night for 7 years. The ibogaine session confronted me with the reality. I saw my daughter's face from every time she'd found me passed out. I'm 15 months sober and my blood pressure is normal without medication.

Fentanyl Addiction
I thought fentanyl had me forever

My fentanyl habit was costing me $300 a day. I'd sold everything I owned. When my mother found the MindScape program and offered to pay, I said yes because I had no other options. The medical evaluation was more thorough than any hospital admission I'd had. The ibogaine experience was 27 hours that felt like a lifetime. I revisited every moment that led me to this point. 17 months clean and I have my own apartment again.

Parkinson's Disease

Post-treatment, my rigidity decreased significantly. My UPDRS motor score improved from 42 to 18. I can button my shirt again. I can eat with a fork without spilling. These sound like small things but they're everything when you're losing your independence to this disease.

Existential clarity I didn't know I needed

I work in tech and my life had become optimization and achievement. I had everything I was supposed to want and felt nothing. The ibogaine session was particularly meaningful for processing my relationship with my father. 11 months later, I'm still successful but also present.

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

MindScape's combined protocol delivered beyond my expectations. The ibogaine provided 31 hours of deeply personal processing. The 5-MeO-DMT provided 27 minutes of transpersonal experience. I came for depression. I left with a permanent change in how I relate to suffering. 2 months later, no regression.

Opioid Addiction

I'm a nurse who got hooked on the samples. What isn't classic is that I'm writing this 2 months clean after a single ibogaine session at MindScape. The pre-screening caught a minor QT prolongation issue that the team addressed before proceeding — that level of medical caution is what convinced me this was legitimate. The session revealed connections between my addiction and my need to be needed that no therapist had ever surfaced. I'm back at work, in a different department by choice, and I haven't touched a pill.
