I work in emergency medicine 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 colleague...

Kratom

Kratom at 35 grams daily for 2 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...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I work in tech so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for burnout that had become something closer to depression. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological work...

PTSD & Trauma

I'm a combat veteran, two tours in Afghanistan. The PTSD had been running my life for years. EMDR helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction mentioned MindScape specifica...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I researched the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol specifically for anxiety that had been treatment-resistant. MindScape was recommended in the psychedelic research community as having the strongest medical protoc...

My PTSD came from seven years of domestic violence that I finally escaped. 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 ibogai...

Opioid Addiction

The sports injury was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed hydrocodone for 5 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra o...

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...
