Depression

15 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried Zoloft for years until it stopped working. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting that made me feel lik...

Opioid Addiction

As a firefighter I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 8 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...

Kratom

Kratom at 35 grams daily for 5 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...

Ten years of depression, most of it managed but never resolved with a combination that stopped working. The medications kept me afloat but I never felt like myself. Flat affect, reduced motivation, going through motions....

Fentanyl Addiction
Two overdoses and then this

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...

Started on morphine after back surgery and never got off. 15 years later I was broke and lying to everyone I loved. Did two rehabs and a Suboxone program before my brother found MindScape. Skeptical doesn't cover it. The...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for depression that wasn't responding to anything. Dr. Reyes spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first, about 30...
