Ibogaine, methadone & PAWS

[2-vigilant]

i was treated with ibogaine HCL in july-2011 . astoundingly, had zero W.D.'s for a month, except weakness and insomnia. after a month started in with the anxiety and depression. i should state that during this whole 6 weeks off m-done i have been on a fucking roller coaster. a couple days a week for the first 2-3 weeks i would be completely manic. contacting ex-g.f's , triumphantly telling everyone with ears that i had just kicked (yikes!) now im just completely wiped 90% of the time. trying to mng anxiety w/ klonipin.( benzos scare the fuck out of me ) happy to relate my experience to anyone curious about ibogaine .
anybody got help on opiate withdrawl malaise?

As uncomfortable as it will probably be, some aerobic exercise. I would also take a quality multivitamin everyday. Also make sure that your diet is fairly healthy. Your body needs to recharge and repair itself.

Personally, I like small doses of stimulants like Adderall or Dexedrine for opiate withdrawals after the the first week or so.

Edit:
I also do a very long taper from the opiates.

i have adderall but have hesitated to take any - apprehensive to mix amph. comedown with opiate w.d. i got 10 mg xtnd release . what would you consider a small dose? have been considering celebrating my exercism from demon methadone with a good and propper mind expansion. the ibogaine experience has renewed my passion for psychedelics. BTW... fuck the taper! m-done w.d.'s not appreciably different coming off 1 or 60 mg just protracted misery. I tried to kick the M for 11 yrs. Sorry, eulogizing.. THANK you for reply. The power of relatability to the people with whom I relate is great. still feel shitty but better none the less.

just wondering how it turned out for you

Really interested to know how things turned out for you after this and if you think taking maintenance micro doses (boosters) of ibogaine (either root bark or HCL) would help. I have been on 40-50mg of methadone for the past 3 years for a severe pain dissorder called allodynia (post viral condition which has attended my CFIDS).

I just want to be equipped with all the tools I will need to weather the storm after I receive Ibogaine. Also, do you think it would have helped you to have switched over to a shorting acting opiate such as oxycontin or MS Contin (extended release Morphine) for 3 weeks before the Ibogaine? This is what most of the good clinics recommend due to the very fact that what happened to you after a month since Ibogaine is typical of someone going straight from methadone to ibogaine. How has your sleep been? How was it immediately after Ibogaine. Have you been taking anything to help with sleep?

Interested to know how you ended up and how you feel right now. What helped you to get where you are (assuming you are still totally clean). Did you end up getting addicted to benzos?

Thanks.
