IBOGAINE (730 mg) - First Time - Welcome Back to My Life

^^^^ Thank you, my brother.

Please note that the thoughts of "ending it" almost always revolve around insomnia, which I've had for the last couple of weeks. When I get 7 or 8 hours, the thoughts disappear. Coke used to help with this, but not anymore... ;)

And you're right...the last real push--passing my NCLEX-RN exam on May 27th--will make many things clear up immediately.

I'm not killing myself, I just need to get out of the house and solve my insomnia problem... :)

You said you took around 750 mg.s when in actuality, the recommended dosage by what, after doing alot of research into finding a genuine Ibogaine facility, turned out to be nearly double that at over 1200 mg.s.

In order to attenuate the physical withdrawal from opiates, you do need a larger dose, in the region of 15mg/kg, and even more for Methadone, perhaps 20-25mg/kg. But that is only one aspect of ibogaine's effect. The entheogenic experience can apparently manifest at doses as low as 300mg, and the re-setting of the brain's receptors to a 'pre-addiction' state may also occur at a lower dose than that needed for opiate withdrawal.

So for cocaine, a dose in the 10-12mg/kg dose might be appropriate, although that would not likely be enough for someone with an opiate addiction.

For a non-drug measure, can I mention sheese toaties with chilli? Between the tryptophan in te cheese & the endorphin release from the chillis. they get just about anyone to sleep
 
^ By your typing I assume you have a cheese toastie problem and are on at least 10 at this point in time f&b! =D

Jest aside, an excellent read and I wish you continued success with your dehabituation and future life in general, tobala :)
 
Congratulations

Wow! I say a standing ovation is in order after the slow clapping.

This one is being cut out and hung on the wall in my office. I have been
thinking of taking the Iboga plunge to help get off a Morphine addiction.

My situation will be complicated due to the fact I am a chronic pain patient.
But, I am not dealing with a divorce situation. I am very proud of you as a
fellow human and a Father. You should be proud to be able to admit your
weaknesses. Good show!
 
Hi

I can absolutely understand why people trying to cure Addictions with Psychedelic Substances, because these Substances are Intelligent, they can guide you through the Journey and help you with your spiritual growth and and Cruing addictions is certainly a Topic when you undertake such a Journey

I would like to tke Iboga too but dont know where to get it.

Much Strength for your Curing Process.

Being one of only two ibogaine reports on Bluelight, I just wanted to update this thread on the one-year anniversary of my experience. With the exception of a small hiccup in September, I am presently cocaine-free and intend to remain that way.

I also want to say that, while ibogaine will help you get over the physical and short-term psychological manifestations of a withdrawal syndrome, after that you'll rely on good old commitment and willpower to stay clean. Only the appetizer is free...not the whole lunch.

While 2008 was an extremely emotionally trying year in my life, things have taken a decided upturn and 2009 promises to be really positive. I've passed my state exams, gotten visitation with my son, and currently have 60 resumes on the job market. Other plans include returning to school in September and eventually getting an MSN and a nurse practitioner license (imagine me with a DEA license--oh no! 8o ).

I had intended on a sequel to this experience with a 1,270 mg dose in the summer of 2008. However, things were so hectic with my legal troubles as well as my upcoming NCLEX--not to mention that I was very psychically unstable at that time--that I didn't feel it was a good idea to proceed with it.

Now that things are a lot better, I'm again toying with the idea of taking this trip. But somehow--and as strange as this might sound--I think I want this one to be in the summer. I want to create in some small way the environmental conditions of equatorial Africa: a sultry summer night, an orange moon rising from the horizon, and a sky full of stars.

So that's the plan for 2009. Again I want to thank everyone for the support, criticisms, and overall good vibes posted in this thread. Expect Part 2 sometime before the end of the summer. :)
 
I've somehow managed to miss reading this report previously. Glad I have now - fascinating read. And many congratulations on the anniversary. Whether the igogaine helped put it in motion or it's all been down to you, it's a massive achievement. Look forward to reading that sequel :)
 
wow. if i ever use iboga it will only be in africa. this seems to be a very serious entheogen. i would want to use it in it's natural habitat and with the people who know it frontwards and back. i've read so many incredible reports about its potential for beating addiction. it's a shame the US won't even research it because of it hallucinogenic properties. this stuff seems very promising. even if it is only a placebo effect, it's one of the most successful things there is. if it works, it works. i've never had a drug problem (knock on wood, i know it happens to all walks) and hopefully i can avoid that my whole life, but if i could give this to some of my addiction ruled aquaintances i would right away...
 
I've somehow managed to miss this report as well, and it was very valuable to me. I definitely have issues with addiction, and though my addiction has moved from the personal management rhelm (poppy tea and pharmies from overseas) to a Dr managed addiction (suboxone and benzos)...in some ways no better...but in many ways it has changed my life around for the far, far, far, far, far, far better than when I depending on drinking pod tea two times a day to keep from being sick.

And I have slowly over the past two years reduced my dosage from 24mg suboxone/day to 6-8mg....and 60mg of tamazepam to 37.5mg + 2.5mg valium....but I still have trouble imagining me being totally drug free....and that's not even mentioning the daily nicotine and cannabis use, and my regular use of (prescribed) amphetamine usage. Thankfully my amphetamine usage is controlled (I never use more than 5mg/day and usually take weekends off...always take off on vacation/when not working)....but with my blood pressure issues even 5mg is too much...and too much caffeine too.

It is nice to know that ibogaine is always out there when I am ready to make the next step.

Thank you for writing this and good luck in your journeys.
 
Tobala, I am very glad to hear that you are doing well, and that you are staying away from the coke. It is a great step for you to take in your life, and I am glad you found Ibogaine. I am still dealing with my opiate habit, though I am slowly getting my self down on Methadone, I am now at 35 mg per day, and my uncle has told me he would give me half of his suboxone scripts to get me off of the methadone one I get down past 30mg.

Life can be tough, and life will never be completely easy. Everyone gets roadblocks, but what separates the strong from the weak is the ability to survive. You are a survivor. You are going places , and managing your demons. I wish you all the best!! Dont forget to call those places you apply to ;)
 
I miss you tobala. If you can hear me through here somehow, I also took iboga recently, except at 1100mg, and had a 3 day epic experience, but so much of what you described visually happened exactly the same for me. What a fascinating plant.
 
Holy Shizzle. A different life back then/actually nothing is any different except replace temazapam for lorazapam (only 2mg) and I'm not on opiates anymore....well and my BP is fine.

Prayers to the family and loved ones of Tobala. Fudge this was bittersweet to read again. I am also really glad my insanity didn't get to me (yet :/) and I am writing this now. <3
