Using Ibogaine safely.

[sean107]

Hey I was just curious as to if anyone had any advice on how to use Ibogaine safely, for drug addiction, I can get it in ibogaine HCI or ibogaine TPA, but I live in the states and can't make it too a clinic to use it with professionals so if anyone has advice please let me know.

i had a great experience on just 15 grams of raw bark. Felt perfectly safe to be honest. And an afterglow that lasts a week or more.

I just did some research on Ibogaine... damn. I wish I had my hands on that stuff. Doesn't really sound like something to keep on using though.

I think, if used properly, it can be life changing. Everyone is different and Ibogaine should be respected and thoroughly researched before beginning any treatment. Here is a link to a journal I outlined that was written by a friend of mine that was addicted to opiates:

Have a sitter, that's #1 for me. Have a sitter, drink lots of water beforehand, eat light meals for a day or two befoerhand. Justl oad up on salad and fruit the day before, eat nothin the day of.

Considering it's customary to eat more and more iboga over a long period of time until you reach an adequate level it seems safe to say that acute tolerance either does not happen to a significant degree or can be overcome by just compensating with more material. My point is: even if you have high purity HCl salt that doesn't mean it's automatically ideal to just drop a single dose to hit the spot. I'd be more careful and stick to the traditional titration. It works doesn't it?
I'm not saying it's a great idea to do it for multiple days approaching the verge of absolute exhaustion, a mental break or even death. I think death is only something to worry about with tribes who are hardcore to the bone and see no other option other than completing a rite of passage and target transformation or an unfortunate fate indeed.

Ayahuasca, Iboga and adequate dose buccal Salvia - those rank highest as far as medicines for the soul go, they demand more respect than anything in my personal view/opinion of ethnobotanics which may be rather limited.

I have done ibogaine twice and survived so I must be doing something right! Here are some factors to consider.

- If you have any kind of heart problem or heart murmur do not take ibogaine

-Do not use any opiates while you're on ibogaine, this could kill you

-Find a dark and quiet room to trip in and get a playlist of some relaxing ambient music, sound and light can be very anxiety provoking

-Plan to have at least four or five days with no obligations for the experience it lasts forever and you will be completely mentally and physical drained for quite a while. It's also good to have some quiet time to re integrate the experience and contemplate.

-Make sure you can have a trip sitter who is educated about ibogaine, you will be physically immobilized and throw up whenever you try to get up so you'll need help getting to the bathroom etc.

-Be prepared to see the best and worst of your mind

-If you are doing ibogaine to help with a drug habit make an after care plan to stay on the right path, this is very important!

The first time I did ibogaine i did 1100mg HCl and 1 gram TA, second time I did 1300 HCl and 1200mg TA (I'm about 62kg). It should be noted that other psychedelics will cross tolerate so I would suggest not tripping for a month before you take it, you don't want to go through the hassle of taking it and not have it fully work. And from my experience ibogaine does cause a significant tolerance, the first time I took it I started with 400mg and steadily upped the dose over hours and the strength was significantly diminished, you want to take it all at once. I took ibogaine to treat a complex poly drug habit which consisted of alot of things but mainly centered around dissociatives and psychedelics. Right, taking more psychedelics to treat a psychedelic habit! But each time I did it it did give me some valuable insight and a head start on making progress, although I have made a lot of progress I'm still dealing with these habits. I imagine its much more effective for opiates/ alcohol/ stimulant "real drug" type addictions.

Lastly I find it interesting that the 5-meo-DMT molecule is actually contained inside the ibogaine molecule, it is definitely also one of the most powerful and spiritual molecules I've ever met.
