Yo. This is my first thread here, so sorry if this has been covered..But I was wondering if anyone has any experience using ibogaine and could describe what the trip subjectively looks and feels like.

Ive been interested in this but all the other threads I searched for seemed to break it down just into a bodyload phase, visual phase, and an introspection period. Can anybody give a more detailed explanation of what it's like...maybe compared to other drugs or something? thanks in advance.
 
You'll also find tons of reports if you search anywhere online. It's a rare substance but there will always be those who've taken it.

I haven't yet, but I would have done so last week if it had arrived on time. Maybe next week I can fill you in on my experience - send me a PM.

From what I've read, ibogaine is very powerful - comparable to ayahuasca (though reputedly not as terrifying) and it evokes a very particular state of mind that makes you feel like you're awake and dreaming at the same time. Visuals are by far strongest with your eyes closed; upon opening them the power of the visions reduces dramatically. Ibogaine will typically take you to the source of problems and addictions in your life and help you psychologically resolve them. Reliving childhood memories and / or traumatic events is common, and the experience can be difficult, but it's all to the purpose of allowing you to heal and move on.

At 'flood' doses (about 22mg/kg+) the experience becomes very mystical; merging with God, ego disappears, other realms are revealed, the user is thrust deep into the immensity of the multiverse.

The visionary part of the experience lasts somewhere around four to twelve hours depending on the dose and person. What follows is a long residual period of deep contemplation that can last for another day. Minor effects can linger for several days afterwards and it's recommended you have a week of no obligations before taking a medium to high dose of ibogaine. I am taking a full week off work and trailing it into the Easter break to fully integrate the experience.

Ibogaine has a high danger profile. Anyone with a heart condition or anything less than great physical health is cautioned from taking it. It has been known to kill people for reasons no one's sure of. Get an ECG, blood test, liver test, general checkup and advice from the doctor, preferably telling them the truth but otherwise telling them you plan on hiking a very rough mountain. DO NOT TAKE OTHER SUBSTANCES BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE EXPERIENCE. Ibogaine drops your tolerance level of any substance you've taken back down to zero. If you're, say, heavily addicted to heroin and you shoot up what you'd normally take, even months later, what was once your regular dose could now kill you. Aside from that, toxic psychoactives mix very badly with ibogaine, and have been known to kill quite a few users who, for some staggering reason, took something else while on their ibogaine trip.

Good luck.
 
Woops, i'll make sure to search more before I make a thread next time. Thanks for the links, as well as all the information. Very helpful.

Also, happy trails for you future experience, flickering.
 
Old thread, I know. But I really want to give ppl some info about ibogaine since first-hand experience on forums is hard to come by.

I took ibogaine, and likely took far too much even though I had an iboga practitioner (an inexperienced one at that) with me. I did the Total Alkaloid, so it was hard to gauge its strength. We assumed it was 30%, when likely it was 60%. Meaning I probably took the equivalent of 2g of HCL. DO NOT assume the TA is weak just because you feel no effects from a small test dose. Thats what I did.

I was given the TA in 400mg doses every 45mins. Within 5mins of the first dose, I was feeling it. No hallucinations, but felt a strong force and felt very altered, and kinda had the "wa wa" sound you get from huffing dust off. Everything sounded like it was echoing in a metal tunnel.

After the 2nd dose, I had to lye down because I was already starting to flood. Its very different than anything I've taken before. It completely immerses you in it. Theres a huge audio component - like the sound of crickets and chanting, that eerie/beautiful sound of male voices synchronizing like they do in catholic church.

I blacked out after that and slowly came to three days later. I have vague memories of dreams I had during those three days, but they weren't especially spiritual and made little sense. Like black dudes were trying to build these holes to trap people on this football field and lured people by saying there were super bowl parties in them - or me being in a reality television show with Whitney Houston, and the winner gets to go to the top floor of this giant glacier that was 2,080ft (I remember that exact detail).

I felt very altered for a week. Not "tripping", more like I was dreaming. Everything was so hazey and faint, and I was so weak.

I didn't experience any physical withdrawals. I did, however, have serious insomnia for 8-10 days. I also never felt "good", but much better than normal in detox. I was dancing with the little energy I had, and singing aloud to songs.

By day 8 my cravings came back. By day 10 I felt depressed and PAWSey. Boosters kind of helped. I relapsed. But haven't gone back more than a few time to the opes. I'm pretty much back to my old addict self 7 weeks later, drinking, railing adds, hiding stuff, lying.

My experience wasn't a smashing success, but yours might be.
 
what do you mean you blacked out? Like you were pretty much in a coma and didn't wake up until 3 days later? Or were you extremely messed up but able to open your eyes and know you were lying in bed and could hear someone talking in the room if they said something?
 
2g HCL is a huge dose. Still, blacking out is a strange reaction...

Well, I'm going ahead and taking 30g of root bark powder, and hoping it's not extremely potent and that I have a more typical reaction than that.
 
I mean I blacked out like one does with booze.

Apparently my parents say I was keeping my wrists lose to my face and chewing away at my lips like a retarded veloca raptor.

I guess I was able to speak, and would make sense momentarily, but overall was saying strange things like "I'm a faggot!" and "I killed her!"

My memory didn't come completely back until Thursday, and I dosed sunday night.
