Hello, So this is my personal experience with Ibogaine as an Addiction Interrupter for Methadone
In mid to late 2010 I was taking 130mg daily of Methadone a day via clinic.
I was in the midst of a hard break-up of a 3 year relationship , due in large part to my
Methadone addiction , she had left town for the weekend so i could pack & get a plan
I was depressed & feeling hopeless as a sat in the living room of the house we had shared over the last close to 2 years, I put a BBC Documentary called "Detox or Die" by David Graham Scott (DGS) ~ >
http://vimeo.com/25291673as i watched this I became optimistic again about my situation with methadone, I could get off this shit for real if I was just given a window to escape, I could get my life back, MAYBE.
well I knew this wasn't living , I was ghost of my former self & i was existing at best with all the worst side effects of Methadone limiting my quality existing. That MAYBE is all i needed.
So I set out looking for more info on the inter-web in late 2010 , I contacted DGS about his documentary & he answered allot of questions for me. as well as gave me the info to someone in the United States that was doing a form of Guerilla Ibogaine Treatment in the NY area. This person referred me to a provider in California but she was asking way more than what i could afford, as a passing note she hooked me up with a good fella in my State, Colo.....
Here Enters Harvey Plex in early 2011.....my real point of contact with the African Medicine & overall Game Planner . I had already started dropping down my Methadone dose from 1 to 2mgs a week to every 2 weeks depending on when i had to go to the clinic to get my poison. This process continued over the next 2 years more or less, slow yet stabilized enough to not lose my job or set in motion a possible relapse back to Heroin or other Opiates. Anyway HP & I spoke as often as we could, he always started our conversations within the first 5 minutes with "where is your Dose right now at? are you still dropping it ?"
well I am going to fast-forward up to November 30th 2012 ~At this point i was down to 30mgs of methadone a day from 130mgs two years earlier with Ibo still my focus.
I got laid off at my Wage Slave Job & was given an amount of money that could last me long enough to do Ibogaine & recoup from possible methadone PAWS.
Anyway I get my hands on the 10 grams of Ibogaine TA c/o a friend of ours & a Train Ticket back to Nebraska to start finishing up my detox & to take the Medicine. I had somewhat talked to friend about "sitting" for me while HP & Lala were going to be on a sort of standby to help if he had any questions once i started my Flood. Well needless to say the Sitter & Space fell apart once i got to Neb & i still continued to at this point rapidly detox off of Methadone because my supply was limited yet I didn't know how to safely take the Medicine alone , I got freaked out & started taking large amounts of Xanax & Valium thinking it would take the edge off (BAD IDEA, at least the amounts i was taking) Then after a week of mostly being in a Blackout , HP suggested that I try something else.
At this point I feel the need to say if you are considering doing what i did , avoid it & get a Sitter, please use great caution if you dont have much 1st hand experience with Iboga or Ibogaine !!!!
So the idea was purposed to Stack smaller doses over a week or two. (stacking) At this point I was totally out of Methadone, in full withdrawal & messed up on Benzo's
so I waited about 18hrs from my last pill intake & put on music
Youtube: 8sacredroot8 - the Bwiti section.
& lit one candle .On the 1st night - I took 1 Gram of TA I completely Blanked out shortly after the medicine kicked in. I came to about 6 hrs later & jumped up out of bed...I fell back down but something wonderful & yet scary had happened The room I was in, the world I knew had completely changed. My Mental Computer had been reset off of 1 gram & I swear to this. I have not craved or even thoughtfully considered going to a methadone clinic or scoring real opiates since that 1st one Dec 27th 2012 I saw how big of a self-centered prick i had been while Detoxing the week before , I saw how insignificant my addiction is in the grand design of my life & humanity on this planet as a whole. Yes I had a few intense hours of real soul searching, Crying & laughing....Very emotional stuff. I was & am genuinely humbled by my experience.
Night 2 - i took a Half Gram of TAvery mild but I could feel the ibo working
Night 3 - i 1 & a Half Grams of TAmild but could feel it working
Night 4 - I took 2 Grams TAstill mild & very minimal
Night 5 - Took NoneNight 6 - I took a half gram around 1pm & moved around on it all that day,
That night I took
2 more Grams - I believe I had a Threshold Flood Experience, Intense Psychedelic visuals for about 3 hrs but was still able to slowly walk myself to the toilet in the 3rd hr
Night 7 - took NothingNight 8 - i took 1 gram mild but still working on me
Night 9 - Nothing Night 10 - \took 1 & a Half Grams very mild but still felt the medicine working
That's the Bulk of it, I have done a couple Booster Doses since but those have been a half Gram or less & few & far between.
Again
I owe a ton of Gratitude to Harvey Plex, Lalababa & Calaquendi for their Feedback, Support, Guidance, Sharing of knowledge & genuine friendship as well hours & upon hours of phone time I can not thank them enough.
I feel an extra need at this point to give
HP 5 out of 5 Stars for a Job well done
I feel it was a success. Is it to early to say so ? Maybe but my GUT tells me I will giving back sooner than later & you can't do that fully if you regress back to old behavior & thhe old force of habit.
I learned 1st hand & believe fully that You need a game plan Before, During & After you take Ibogaine as a way to Interrupt an Addiction of any sort. It is No Magic Bullet but it is African Jungle Magic in its purest form, You have to respect it.that is all for now, I am sure i will need to edit this in time due to spelling & memory issues.
