> BBC TV in the UK did a documentary in June 2004 about a heroin addict who took Ibogaine to relieve his addiction. He took it once and apparently was cured. I can't imagine these substances being helpful for anxiety though, as he suffered quite intense anxiety as the drug took effect, it lasted a long time as well.
Thanks for that nolvas.
From what I have read about hallucinogens I fully expect my experience to be terrifying. I don't see how I could work through what I believe are the original sources of my anxiety without feelings of fear, so that doesn't deter me, but I see what you mean. It seems that Ayahuasca or Ibogaine are effective tools for insight, but they are not always cures as such since there is still hard work to be done when return to your ordinary life. The outcome still depends on each person's commitment. I believe the effects of Ibogaine can last for several days when taken in the traditional ritual :-O
