Sorry.... don't have time to read much. Life clean is really busy. Loving it.

My experience was rather benign compare to what others told me. I took the medication, it took many hours to take affect. The place I went was big in Bwitti music which my ears were not accustom to at all.

My first clue that it was finally taken affect was the buzzing behind my head... it got very loud. I was plastered to the bed.. smells were a bit overwhelming for me. The music was even more overwhelming for me. I decided that I didn't like it so I totally blacked out for some time. Don't really know how long. When I "awaken" again, my sitters were checking my bp and making sure I was OK. I was but then I began "seeing" things and I chose not to answer them. I remember wanting them to leave me alone.

My most vivid memory was seeing me as a kid. This child was leaving a building and crossing the boardwalk to the beach. I followed her and notice she was bear footed and the sand was too hot for her feet and she was trying to get to the wet part of the sand near the ocean. I remember thinking.."funny, my feet are not hot". I look down and I was not touching the sand but hovering it. Seem normal to me at the time. I continue to follow this child, long blond hair and dark, tanned skin. I remember not really wanting to see her face, finally I got the nerve to sit next to her and look at her face. IT was Me as a kid. She had tears on her cheeks. She looked at me and said "are we going to be okay now?" I began crying and holding her, telling her yes we will.

Other vivid memories are scattered... there were real roosters all over the little town I was in. Each time one cocked (seem like every few mins) my visions would change. I had a hard time keeping up. I got small glances of my childhood, my siblings and parents. Small visions of things I was ashamed of, things I have done, choices I made. I think I then fell asleep.

The treatment was very easy on me. The next day was very pleasant. I was not really sleeping but sorta was. OR maybe just finally at peace that I could be quiet in my mind. I was totally coherent, tired but felt so pleasant. Days,really two weeks following the treatment sleep avoided me. I think I average 1 or 2 hours a night. It was ok. I had a lot to review in my head and liked the quiet time to myself to try and recapture my visions.

Iboga is not good for those with benzo's aboard. Suboxone addicts also have a harder time. For opiates, I would for sure say this is the way to go. Wd never kept me clean. I went thru wd 100s' of times and always went back to opiates. Getting clean was hard but not near has hard to staying clean. Iboga for sure gave me a leg up. It acts as a antidepressant also.. well it did for me.

I have just recently seen myself slip back to my old way of thinking, having drug dreams and fighting to stay clean again.. 6 months iboga gave me without the fight nor the feeling that life clean is just not worth the fight. So I am doing a second treatment. For me, I am willing to face satan, see the horror others have told me they seen while under the iboga influence. It will be worth it for a few days of discomfort/fear to keep what I have.

Thanks for asking, hope this helps others on the fence.
