Methadone & Suboxone

I was on 16mg of Suboxone for 4 years. Every time I tried to taper below 4mg the withdrawal was unbearable. My addiction medicine doctor was supportive but said some people just need to stay on maintenance indefinitely....

5-MeO-DMT session changed my understanding of consciousness

I came to MindScape for the 5-MeO-DMT program specifically. No addiction history, more of a spiritual and personal growth motivation. I'd done extensive reading on the research and felt prepared. The screening was still...
