Getting off Suboxone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 8 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape t...
Got into fentanyl through fentanyl patches that got out of hand. 6 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, bone p...
I'm a physician and I've been managing high-functioning depression for 5 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 trials. A c...
120mg of methadone 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 was...
Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for a general disconnection from myself I'd been carrying for years. The clinical staff spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibo...
I've had it since my teens, probably earlier. Never hospitalized but close to it for most of last year. My psychiatrist and I had exhausted most options. A family member found MindScape while researching psychedelic-assi...
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...
My addiction involved heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines at various points, often simultaneously. 13 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substance...
Effexor for 7 years. Made 4 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. Discont...
18 years of it. Started as wine that became anything available. My liver enzymes were elevated and my doctor was direct about what that meant. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped...
I researched the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol specifically for PTSD that was manageable but not resolved. MindScape was recommended in the psychedelic research community as having the strongest medical protoc...
I'm 28 and started using fentanyl at 25. 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...
The TBI from multiple sports concussions 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 researc...
6 years of Adderall that became an addiction. I'd burned through my savings and was starting to borrow from the wrong people. Came to MindScape after my cardiologist told me I needed to stop. The intake screening paid sp...
8 years of daily drinking. I was a high-functioning version until I wasn't anymore. Tried naltrexone, Antabuse, AA, inpatient. Something always brought me back. My sister found MindScape and paid for the deposit before t...
Degenerative disc disease for 4 years. Went through cortisone shots, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. The pain was real and constant and eventually I was on opioids long enough to develop a dependency that comp...
18 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried Wellbutrin and Lamictal in combination and still barely functional. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunt...
21 years of it. Started as wine that became anything available. I couldn't get through a work morning without something. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped partially. Nothing hel...
As a contractor I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 5 years on oxycodone. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to ge...
I've had it since my teens, probably earlier. One hospitalization that scared me into trying something different. My psychiatrist and I had exhausted most options. A family member found MindScape while researching psyche...
12 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...
Started kratom for opioid withdrawal and within 7 years I was taking 20 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...
120mg of methadone for 10 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...
Ten years of depression, most of it managed but never resolved with Cymbalta. The medications kept me afloat but I never felt like myself. Flat affect, reduced motivation, going through motions. My therapist and I had do...
