For over a decade, I have been on narcotics for chronic migraines. Not the recommended treatment, but nothing else worked. Due to tolerance, they no longer work, so basically all they do is keep me from going into withdrawl.
Anyone who has been on long term narcotics, whether scripted or as an addict knows the long term effects. Withdrawl from family and friends, GI issues, lack of interest, depression etc. I would really appreciate it if there are people out there who have been through Ibogaine therapy and can tell me about their experience. I have spent months researching it, but would like personal accounts. With the length and number of narcotics I have been on, detox the traditional way would be dangerous, and weaning off the drugs could take months if not years. Thanks, sam2 |

I had never heard of it. I just looked it up. If what that article said is true than that would be the biggest breakthrough in addiction treatment ever.
The only treatments I know of are sub and methadone which is like the lesser of evils thing. Sub withdrawal is worse that all the others. I do know ex heroine addicts in AA who have long term sobriety and never took sub or methadone. A number of them in fact. They somehow did it and have stayed sober. However the highest relapse rates in AA and NA are opiate addicts. Even after three years sober many of them go back.
