> This is my 1st post here- I found the site by accident and the thread on ibogaine interested me. I've done ibogaine twice, both times for detox off of opiates. It does an amazing job of that- after taking ibogaine you have no withdrawal or post-acute withdrawal symptoms at all. But it's far more than that. It's an incredibly strong hallucinogen (makes acid look/feel like child's play). Unbelievably intense. Extremely visual. It lasts about 24 hours and you are ataxic for the first 7-9 hours meaning that basically you can't move- you just lay still for that time and have the experience. It can be both terrifying and enlightening, but no one I've ever know who's taken it would describe it as "fun." I don't know of anyone who's taken it who would ever do it recreationally. It has been described as being able to compress 10 years of therapy into 24 hours and I believe that is accurate. You gain unbelievable insights into yourself and at the same time is a tremendously spiritual experience. I came out of the room after taking ibogaine a different person that walked into the room 24 hours before. BTW, it is not addictive.
> Marcel.SMarcel.S,
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with ibogaine.
It sounds like there are a few of us here dying to hear more if you are willing.
I'm also quite interested in the questions asked by Kara Lynne in her two posts above.
Take care and again, thank you.
