PTSD & Trauma

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...

SSRI Discontinuation

On Pristiq for 14 years. My psychiatrist and I agreed it was time to come off, but every attempt failed. Emotional flooding and then numbness alternating without warning. I'd been trying to discontinue for over two years...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I had done ayahuasca twice but nothing prepared me for this. The combination protocol is thoughtfully sequenced. The ibogaine session is substantial on its own, about 34 hours of deep introspection. I had significant nau...

Alcohol

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...

SSRI Discontinuation

Effexor for 10 years. Made 7 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. Discon...

Recreational for years before it became something I couldn't stop. Crack addiction is different from opioids, no physical withdrawal in the same sense, but the psychological craving is relentless. Tried NA, individual th...

I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Lexapro and can't get off. Took it for 10 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying...

Finally free of maintenance medication

Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 6 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
