I made a post in this subreddit a few days after my ibogaine experience which I did for my 5 year heroin/fentanyl addiction and some people requested I make a follow up so here it is. I won't go too much into detail about the trip itself in this post as that's already been very well covered, I'll try to make this more about the journey afterwards.
I want to start off by saying I have been doing very well, not a smidgen of cravings so far. I myself still have a hard time believing how effective ibogaine is, I mean I was expecting it to help me, but this, this is something else. Like I said in my original post it feels like I cheated my way out of addiction, compared to suboxone or methadone this is on another level completely, even while on suboxone or methadone the cravings never truly go away but right now it feels like I was never even addicted. I remember the first few days after the ibogaine I was really hesitant to say how well it worked because I couldn't believe it, it felt like someone was playing a joke on me and the cravings would pop up laughing and saying "did you really think it would be that easy" but thankfully that hasn't happened.
When I truly saw how effective ibogaine is was about 5 days after my experience, I was walking down the street and saw someone shooting up, and instead of getting the jealous feeling in my chest, wishing that was me(Im sure you all know what I'm talking about) I just felt sorry for the dude. I know some people don't share my experience and the cravings do come back, but what I really think helped me was all the preparation I did going in to the experience. I was on about 2g of fentanyl a day and I managed to taper down to 5g of kratom a day. Some people might say well why did you need the ibogaine you were almost home free, but the point of ibogaine is not for the physical withdrawal, although it did completely eliminate that aswell, but the point is what it dose for the cravings and just as importantly how it completely changes your perspective on opioids and even on life.
For the first time in years I'm actually excited for the next day, for what life has to offer, I can look into what the future has to bring and plan my life, much like an psychedelic trip it's something that is truly ineffable. I can do my best to try and describe the feeling but I couldn't hope to even get a fraction of what I feel through to you guys.
For anyone considering Ibogaine I cannot endorse it enough and if anyone has any questions or just needs to talk please feel free to pm and find my old post if you're interested.
