It is important to note that ibogaine carries many risks and that people have died while using ibogaine. However, mortality is generally associated with pre-existing health conditions, higher doses, and substances that are contraindicated with ibogaine. Never use ibogaine on your own—always find a qualified doctor to work with.
Doctors who work with ibogaine claim that noribogaine (the metabolite of ibogaine) works and remains in the system for approximately 90 days. However, there is still no concrete evidence to support this claim, although some studies suggest weeks or months.
A flood dose of ibogaine is a large amount of ibogaine that triggers rapid eye movement known as a visionary state. Flood doses are administered in ibogaine treatment centres, and individuals usually have a specific reason for seeking ibogaine treatment.
Iboga refers to the shavings of the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga tree, and ibogaine is one of many alkaloids derived from this iboga root bark. Ibogaine HCL is usually derived in a laboratory after careful extraction using HCL to remove all impurities and is very potent.
Ibogaine is a psychedelic drug obtained from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub found in equatorial West Africa, commonly found in Gabon and Cameroon. Ibogaine can also be found in a handful of other plants such as African voacanga.
It is up to the individual to experience ibogaine. Some ibogaine treatment providers typically incorporate other healing modalities into their work. There are also Bwiti initiates who have combined traditional sessions with safety protocols. If you feel drawn to Bwiti sessions, always research who offers a safe and spiritual ibogaine experience.
No, absolutely not, please do not and never do both! Do not take ibogaine with another stimulant. Ibogaine is primarily a stimulant, and by doing so, you could amplify the effects of both. Ideally, a person should stop using amphetamines for 7 to 14 days before starting ibogaine. Failure to do so definitely increases the risk of heart and liver failure. It is important to note that this could be a fatal interaction.
This is not advisable because the risk of overdose is high after ibogaine, as ibogaine completely resets opioid tolerance to a pre-dependent state, i.e. to its status quo. Ibogaine also potentiates opioids. If ibogaine is still in your system when you take heroin, it is a recipe for an overdose. This is very dangerous and must be avoided at all costs to prevent the risk of death.
