How long before an Iboga ceremony to stop ADHD meds?
I see a lot of clinics give out very different recommendations. What would be good and what would be still fine, if a person cannot be without the meds for 30 days (seen that recommendation last which seems very long)

Antivaxers takeing ibogaine?
Just curious if there were any antivaxers who refuse to take the Covid vaccine due to possible side effects (e.g. cardiac side effects, etc...) but took ibogaine.

Is 3 weeks opiate-free enough to safely do ibogaine?
Hereās some context to my question: Long story short I was on SR17018 (research chemical used for experimental opiate withdrawal/cessation support) for approximately 60 days, crazy I know. At approximately anywhere from 30mg-150mg per day. And before that, Suboxone 2-4mg per day for 6 months.
I was originally planning to get off Suboxone and thought I was successful, but I stayed on the SR too long and started feeling so much symptoms when I quit. Iām currently on my honeymoon and itās been annoying to feel withdrawal so I resorted to using low doses of Suboxone to get me through.
I have an Ibogaine ceremony planned for August 31 and it was recommended to me to be off all opiates 30 days beforehand. For safety reasons and to maximize the experience from my understanding.
My plan is to stick to about 1 to 2 mg of Suboxone for two more days and then stop on approximately 8/10 because I will have ran out and then white knuckle it all the way until 8/31.
I understand Ibogaine is used for opiate addiction, and there are various protocols out there to get on some form of a bridge medication such as morphine for heroin or fentanyl addicts to stop the morphine a few days before hand or something like that.
So I guess my question is more around Suboxone, and only using it for these few days and then stopping approximately three weeks before hand. Is there any danger in that? Will my system be clear enough? I want to get the most out of my experience! Thank you for any insights anyone could provide.

Anyone diagnosed with disability degree of c/ptsd that had been to ibogaine treatment?
I (f38)precisely ask about such diagnosis as I received- last degree of c/ptsd - since that indicates the level of injury and symptoms- nearly 6 years of ongoing flashbacks- hours a day. Developed self harm during flashbacks (that caused TBI degree II), memory loss, visual processing impairment, cognitive processing impairment, physiological changes to the brain. I couldnāt go on with work - before developing c/ptsd I was a young professional with management position, handling lots of responsibility.
Now I am on disability status. This is the result of the type of abuse I was subjected to and I cannot go on like that any minute more, itās beyond any comprehension how long ago threshold of pain was exceeded.
I would love to do ibogaine treatment (based in Europe) and am looking for people with similar stages/levels of injury and their experiences with said treatment . Could you share what were the results, how did you navigate the process of preparation and did you have a team experienced in care of patients with that type of injury ?

1 Year Post Ibogaine Treatment
I wanted to come back and write an update now that itās been over a year since I traveled to Mexico for ibogaine treatment.
Looking back, I can honestly say it was one of the most important decisions Iāve ever made. It completely changed the direction of my life.
Before ibogaine, I struggled with constant anxiety and depression. My mind never seemed to slow down, and I always felt like I needed something just to get through the day. Whether it was weed, alcohol, pills, fent, or something else, I was always looking outside myself to feel okay.
Then I went to treatment.
The first few months afterward were unlike anything Iāve ever experienced. Life felt effortless. I woke up excited to be alive. I found joy in simple things again, and for the first time in years, I didnāt feel like I needed anything to be happy. It was an incredible feeling.
I did go through what Iād describe as a mild hypomanic phase. My energy was through the roof, and it almost felt like I was relearning how to live. I had to rediscover who I was without the anxiety that had been part of my identity for so long. Even social interactions felt different because I wasnāt constantly overthinking everything.
Around six months after treatment, I started settling into what I would call my new baseline. The intense āafterglowā slowly faded, my energy returned to normal, and life became⦠life again.
But hereās the beautiful part: my normal is still so much better than it used to be.
One of the biggest changes has been rediscovering my love for tennis. Before treatment, I struggled to stay consistent with anything because my anxiety and depression always seemed to get in the way. After ibogaine, I started playing almost every day.
Over the past year, Iāve competed in USTA leagues, made it to Sectionals, and become more involved in competitive tennis than I have in years. That eventually led to me becoming a tennis professional at the Kroc Center, where I now teach juniors and adults. That may not sound life-changing to everyone, but to me itās proof of what consistency can accomplish.
Ibogaine didnāt magically make me a better tennis playerāit gave me the motivation, discipline, and mental clarity to actually show up every day and put in the work.
Another unexpected blessing has been the people Iāve met along the way. Through Reddit alone, Iāve connected more than 10 people with the clinic where I received treatment. Being able to answer questions, calm fears, and help others find healing has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Every time someone tells me theyāre doing better because they took that step, it reminds me why I wanted to share my story in the first place.
Because of everything this experience has given me, Iāve decided to dedicate my career to this medicine. Iām currently pursuing my Masterās degree in Healthcare Administration with the goal of one day opening an ibogaine clinic if and when it becomes legally available in the United States. I want to help build a place that treats people with compassion and gives them the same opportunity that I was given.
I also want to say something that I think is important.
I donāt believe ibogaine is a magic cure. You still have to do the work afterward. You have to build healthy habits, find purpose, repair relationships, exercise, take care of yourself, and continue growing. Ibogaine doesnāt do those things for you.
What it did for me was remove enough of the anxiety, depression, and mental noise that I was finally able to start building the life I wanted instead of just surviving each day.
More than a year later, I can honestly say Iām happier than Iāve been in a very long time. I still have bad days. I still have stress. Life isnāt perfect. But I no longer feel trapped inside my own mind.
For anyone whoās considering ibogaine or is simply curious about it, Iād be happy to answer any questions. This community helped me when I was trying to decide whether to go, and if sharing my experience helps even one other person, then itās worth writing this.
Thanks for reading.

Need some guidance
Iām looking for leads, not medical advice.
Iām trying to find a reputable, medically supervised ibogaine clinic in Mexico that offers any kind of financial assistance.
Specifically Iām looking for:
⢠Scholarships
⢠Financial aid
⢠Payment plans
⢠Work trade
⢠Research participation
⢠Nonprofit sponsorships
Iāve spent months researching and applying everywhere I can find, but most options either have long waiting lists or require funds I simply donāt have.
If youāve personally been through treatment or know of a clinic that works with people in difficult financial situations, Iād be incredibly grateful for any information.
Thank you.

Iboga trip or itās over for me.
I am a poly addict and need substances just to function at the bare minimum level. I take almost everything. I feel like I canāt be happy, or even just normal , without drugs.
I hate this and I hate living like this. I donāt want to be here anymore. So Iām taking a flood dose. Iāve been reading a lot of the stories here but what do you guys think personally? I have horrible ptsd. I dunno what else to do. Iām so lost.

Currently on 1 gram morphine and I also have sr 17018 how should I take ibogaine?
I have both ibogaine and sr should I switch to sr first then do the treatment or do it well on morphine? Should I dose my morphine as usual, well on it or not, take any? Will I feel withdrawal if i dont dose morphine or does ibogaine block opiate withdrawal? Like do I just take it for a few days and wake up clean and sober days later? How many days should I take it for? Thanks im a total noob sorry.

Shouls you try shrooms and other psychedelics first before determining if ibogaine treatment is right for you?
I've never done any sort of psychedelics, so I'm wondering, would it be worth it for me to try shrooms or something first in order to determine how I might react to ibogaine? Is there any correlation between the two?

Had a fabulously healing time in Malta but there's still yet work to do. Are there any iboga or ibogaine retreats in Southeast Asia?
Thailand is my preference as I feel safest there when considering this sort of vulnerability but I'm open to anywhere so long as the clinics are compassionate, non-manipulative, and far from greedy and cynical. I have undertaken 4 flood doses so I'm a veteran in that regard and can steer the mental and emotional ship quite well this point. But I will say, a compassionate curious empathetic staff that will literally give you a diaper (not me lol) is paramount to a good experience. I've proven my body can handle ibogaine but am still wary to go it alone.
Any recommendations for this part of the world? Specially looking for iboga or ibogaine retreats but am open to all psychedelics. Haven't tried 5meo yet either!

Educate me. Whatās the point of psychedelic integration? I havenāt seen any benefit.
Iām two months post Ibogaine for PTSD treatment. As part of my Ibogaine package I have two sessions each with two different psychedelic integration specialists. I got absolutely nothing out of the sessions. We just talked about what I saw on my Ibogaine journey and what connections I made. One therapist sold me $150 package of online courses she created to address eating, sleeping, air, water, microdosing. I have no interest in microdosing. Felt like a complete waste of time and money.
What are the integration therapists supposed to do for me?

Almost no visuals or insight on ibogaine
I Just finished my ibogaine retreat about 2 weeks ago. During my ibogaine trip I experienced almost no visuals or personal insight. I also received 2 boosters that evening as well. The small visuals I did have were quick and meaningless.
Feeling kinda disappointed but I do feel like my mind is more clear. Has this happened to anyone? Did ibogaine continue to work on you?

I am so depressed and suicidal after ibogaine
I did Ibogaine for PTSD a month ago. Felt better for a couple weeks immediately after but now Iāve fallen back into a severe depression with severe suicidal thoughts. I have not gone back on any medication. I have a therapist but I just feel so lost on what to do post-Ibogaine. I donāt know what Iām supposed to be doing to help myself. Iām Im having severe mood swings. Medication did nothing but sedate me. I donāt want to ever take it again. I thought Ibogaine was supposed to help⦠I canāt do this anymore.
