I started drinking at 16 and by my mid-forties I was drinking 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...
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...
Depression and alcohol together. They fed each other for a decade. I'd drink to numb the depression and then feel more depressed because I was drinking. Every treatment I tried addressed one or the other but not both tog...
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...
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 Cozumel expecting the worst and hoping for something I couldn't name. The medical staff at MindScape ran a proper cardiac workup before approving my case. The session was 28 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
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...
I was on SSRIs for nine years and when I tried to taper off the discontinuation syndrome was unbearable. Brain zaps, dizziness, emotional crashes, insomnia. My doctor said it was just rebound anxiety and wanted to increa...
I was diagnosed 4 years ago at 61. My movement disorder specialist is excellent but the medications have side effects and the progression is relentless. My daughter researched ibogaine's potential neuroprotective propert...
People underestimate kratom addiction. I was using 60+ grams per day for four years. The withdrawals were horrible and I couldn't function without it. MindScape took my kratom dependency just as seriously as any other su...
17 years. I won't catalog everything I lost because that's not useful but the list is long. Three failed rehabs, two Suboxone stints, one methadone program. Nothing held. My daughter was 12 when she wrote me a letter say...
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...
Chronic back pain from a car accident had me on opioids for six years. I wanted off the pills but was terrified of the pain returning. MindScape addressed both issues simultaneously. The ibogaine treated the opioid depen...
My addiction involved heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines at various points, often simultaneously. 14 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substance...
Came for opioid addiction, hydrocodone specifically. 5 year habit that started after dental surgery. The treatment itself was excellent and the medical team clearly knew what they were doing. My issue is more logistical...
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...
Cocaine controlled my weekends for seven years and was starting to bleed into my work week. I was a high-functioning user which made it easy to deny the problem. MindScape helped me see what I was really dealing with. Th...
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 participated in the 5-MeO-DMT wellness program. No substance abuse history. I was going through a period of existential questioning after losing both parents within a year and conventional grief counseling wasn't reach...
A mountain biking accident three years ago left me with a traumatic brain injury. Cognitive fog, personality changes, depression, chronic headaches. My neurologist had basically told me this was my new normal. After read...
Panic attacks starting after a trauma in my late twenties. Done years of CBT, tried four medications, daily mindfulness practice, all of it. Functional but exhausted. A friend mentioned MindScape and I researched ibogain...
I came to MindScape not for addiction or mental health issues but for personal development. The screening process was thorough and they were transparent that their protocols are primarily designed for medical conditions....
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'm a veteran so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for a persistent sense of meaninglessness. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological work, some difficult,...
