Hey amanitadine, were you still on opiates when you took ibogaine? Some people say you should detox first, but others say different. I just wanted to know if you did and/or what you think about that.
The general consensus is just that you should be "sick"....not necessarily sicker than shit, but sick nonetheless. Taken in the quantities it is (+1g) Ibogaine is pretty effective as a MOR agonist, and nor-Ibo even stronger. And given the hefty NMDA antagonism , the potential for overdose if someone was still on an active dose of say, heroin, is pretty real. Also, the longer you wait, the greater your relief will be, and you shave hours or a day or however long you go off of your recovery time.
I seem to metabolize it quickly, and have basically no fat on me. But what fat I have was enough to soak up enough nor-Ibo that I was still seeing great tracers in the early morning and late night for 4 days or so. The primary "trip" for me was about 4 hours long, followed by a few hours of ramping down of the psychedelic phase, and then about 20 hours of a kind of physical restlessness and an introspective headspace. Both times I wanted to knock myself out to get some sleep, and thought "this didn't work!" (very very common) but really this space, that seems so benign compared to the mega trip, is where the magic thinking happens in retrospect. Most people, myself included, have a day of pretty intense grey-ness, malaise, and depression post Iboga. Then you get a little sleep and wake up feeling very different! Battered, but a whole new lease on things, and each day gets better from there on out.....
To answer your question
: the first time I waited 8 hours post Kratom, and took 100 mg of Ibogaine, and an hour later took 1 g and 750mg of TA. This was more than enough....my next trip was more lucid and more constructive...
Second time I waited 5 hours (I start to feel withdrawal from Kratom at 3.5-4th post ingestion) and took 1g Ibogaine and 350 mg TA.....like I said, this trip was much deeper, and I actually did get some insight and great visions, rather than just the chaos and hallucinations of the first session...I had one otherworldly and amazing thing happen the first trip, but I'll save that for the trip report I will someday write.....I was craving Kratom/opioids after both times, but not anything near where I normally would. So far so good on the second session...it's been around a month I think
It is powerful, but very gentle as well. Coming from your tripping background it will be a cakewalk. I was nervous at first, but now wouldn't hesitate. As a stand along psychedelic it is class! Taxing and draining, but one of the best!
If you sincerely want to kick opioids, which by all accounts it seems you do, Iboga can give you the leg up to do so.
