Generalized anxiety disorder for 7 years. On multiple SSRIs with partial results. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist suggested researching ibogaine after con...
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...
9 years of daily drinking. I was a high-functioning version until I wasn't anymore. Tried naltrexone, Antabuse, AA, inpatient. Something always brought me back. My sister found MindScape and paid for the deposit before t...
4 years on methadone. It was the right call at the time, it got me off heroin and stabilized my life. But I reached a point where I wanted to be completely free of maintenance medication. Coming off methadone is brutal i...
10 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...
I worked as a pediatric ER nurse for 11 years. The PTSD had been running my life for years. CBT helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction mentioned MindScape specificall...
The chronic back pain 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 ext...
10 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried Wellbutrin and Lamictal in combination and still barely functional. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunt...

Diagnosed at 64, now 66. The low-dose ibogaine protocol at MindScape was ten days of small daily doses, nothing psychoactive, just careful medical administration with cardiac monitoring throughout. The improvements start...
The accident that killed my best friend while I was driving has been with me every day for six years. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psyc...
Started kratom for anxiety and within 5 years I was taking 30 grams a day just to function. The online forums told me it wasn't addictive and I believed that far longer than I should have. When I tried to stop I had symp...
12 years of it. Started as social drinking that became morning drinking over about five years. My kids had stopped calling and I knew why. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped part...
Cross-addicted to Suboxone and alcohol for 8 years. Each substance was partly managing the withdrawal from another and untangling them was impossible on my own. MindScape has specific experience with polydrug patients an...
Heroin addiction stole a decade from me. I missed my daughter's first steps, her first words, her first day of school. MindScape gave me a real shot at being present for the rest. The ibogaine treatment was medically pre...
My husband was diagnosed seven years ago and the progression was steady. Freezing episodes, shuffling gait, the mask face that broke my heart. We heard about MindScape through another Parkinson's family in our support gr...
Alcohol for 14 years. The trajectory is familiar but living it is different from reading about it. I lost a business, a marriage, the trust of people I loved. I was in outpatient treatment when someone mentioned ibogaine...
The sports injury was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed Vicodin for 5 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra on th...
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...
I'm 22 and started using fentanyl at 17. Cheap and available and it obliterated everything fast. Track marks on both arms when I arrived, stealing from my parents, a minor drug charge pending. The cost of coming here was...
Went to MindScape eight months ago for Parkinson's. The low-dose protocol was ten days of small daily ibogaine doses, no psychoactive effects, continuous cardiac monitoring, neurological assessments twice a day. By day t...
Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 13 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
Depression since my early twenties. 16 years of it, managed imperfectly. Every psychiatrist I saw wanted to try a different combination. Some helped somewhat. Nothing was lasting. I came to MindScape after reading that i...
I'm a first responder 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 from my...
