8 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried Prozac, Lexapro, Effexor, none of which fully worked. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting that made m...
17 years on hydrocodone. Lost a job I loved, almost lost my marriage, stopped recognizing myself. Tried everything short of ibogaine. My wife sent me the MindScape link after my second ER visit. Dr. Arellano was straight...
Postpartum that became something else entirely and never lifted. Two hospitalizations after attempts. My psychiatrist and I had exhausted most options. A family member found MindScape while researching psychedelic-assist...
My addiction involved oxycodone, Xanax, and alcohol in various combinations at various points, often simultaneously. 9 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed f...
The TBI from a bad car crash changed my life in ways I'm still adapting to. Executive function problems, memory gaps, and crippling headaches. My family pushed me to try ibogaine after reading about neuroplasticity resea...
I started with prescribed patches after surgery and they became something else. Tried Suboxone twice and methadone once. They managed withdrawal but didn't touch what was driving the using. My sister paid for MindScape a...
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...
Started on heroin after a knee injury and never got off. 5 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 i...
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...
I'd been through residential trauma treatment before coming to MindScape. The trauma was real and the treatment helped partially. But there was a layer I couldn't access through conventional work. My therapist actually s...
I'm a veteran 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,...
I spent twelve years battling opioid addiction. Three rehab stays, countless relapses, and a marriage that almost didn't survive. MindScape was unlike anything I'd experienced before. The medical team monitored me around...
Coming from the UK I was nervous about travelling to Mexico for treatment but the team made everything seamless. Airport pickup, comfortable room, and a nurse with me from the moment I arrived. My oxycodone addiction had...
Fentanyl had me at rock bottom. Two overdoses in six months, my family was planning my funeral. My sister found MindScape and convinced me to try one more time. The cardiac screening and medical workup they did before tr...
I was using fentanyl daily for three years. Every conventional treatment failed because the withdrawals were unbearable. At MindScape they tapered me carefully before the ibogaine treatment and the transition was managea...
22 years in the Marines left me with severe PTSD. Nightmares every night, hypervigilance that made normal life impossible, and a VA system that just wanted to medicate me into a zombie. I did the ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT p...
I carried childhood trauma for decades. Therapy helped me understand it intellectually but I couldn't feel the healing. The ibogaine journey at MindScape took me straight to the root. I cried for hours and the nurses jus...
Treatment-resistant depression for fifteen years. I tried every SSRI and SNRI on the market, ketamine therapy, TMS, and nothing stuck. Ibogaine at MindScape was my last resort and it turned out to be the answer. The expe...
I came to MindScape for severe depression that had resisted medication for years. The ibogaine treatment was more physically challenging than I expected and the first two days after were rough. But by day four something...
I started drinking at 16 and by my mid-forties I was a full bottle of whiskey a day. AA, inpatient rehab twice, and nothing could break through. My GP warned me my liver was failing. MindScape's medical team got me safel...
In Japan there is enormous social pressure to drink and very little understanding of alcoholism as a disease. I was drinking daily for over a decade before my family intervened. MindScape was recommended by a friend who...
I came for the 5-MeO-DMT protocol after years of meditation practice and personal development work. The preparation at MindScape was thorough and they clearly screen for safety first. The experience itself was beyond any...
As someone from the Middle East I had significant cultural reservations about psychedelic therapy. MindScape treated my concerns with respect and never pressured me. The medical briefing was comprehensive and I felt full...
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's five years ago. My neurologist was skeptical when I mentioned ibogaine but supported my decision to explore it. MindScape's medical team worked with my existing treatment plan. The result...
