Iboga / Ibogaine and nerve damage / Pain treatment

[Kambogahuascanga]

Sorry I know this was directed for another person but I felt the need to add some tid bits...

Usually I find folks are more open to micro dosing, for under 150lbs 200-300mg and for +150lbs for 300-500mg 2-3 times a day. They will either have amazing benefits of feeling upbeat and positive or the Iboga will not agree with them. Then if they are feeling good about the spirit of Iboga they may contemplate a flood. But it is usually this way and not vice versa, micro should come before a flood. Then 7-10 days after a flood micro dosing is a good way to reinstate the divine flow of noribogaine into the brainwaves for longer term benefits.

The flood is the only thing that will have a major impact to heal the physical symptoms. Micro dosing will likely make her feel much more positive and optimistic. But, I find for about 10% of folks so far micro dosing puts them off. Which is fine, Iboga is not for everyone fortunately.

Kambo is for the few, I know, but it really helps with pain as well. Especially if applied to the accupressure points of the meridians.

Any idea if voacanga africana could give similar effects in healing?

Im running out of options and i wanna try everything before going the way of surgery which might not even help.

For those who have taken 1g of Iboga rootbark, how strong are the effects? Can I take it on a work night and function fully the next day? Can I take it on a Saturday, or would it be better on a Friday so I have two days to recover?

The main reason I take psychs is to work on those niggling bad habits and thought patterns, so this seems potentially promising.

Thanks.

Some things are worth taking a day off for.

The effects are so wildly varied that I don't think anyone could say... People can sometimes have such powerful experiences on the stuff that they've got to devote quite some time to processing everything and learning new ways of being and living; it's more a matter of you, where you are in your life and how you approach it in those instances than your dosage in particular.
Iboga isn't something a lot of people are capable of taking lightly, and with any psychedelic it can often be beneficial to take some time to yourself to accept and understand the very personal and powerful lessons there are to learn.

That being said, provided you drink it on Saturday have anything resembling a "normal" metabolism, you should only have very slight troublesome effects by Monday if any (slight sensory distortion, tracers, altered headspace and distracted thoughts, etc). A gram would have some people, including myself, in a significantly altered state for multiple days though... Rules of thumb are hardly applicable in some cases. Variables in tolerance, plant potency and preparation/administration are considerable.

Physically, you should be just fine to work and participate in society at large. The rest is up to you and whatever fate there may be.

Ok, on a Friday then. Thanks.

I would like to echo this, potency of iboga and individual sensitivies seem to vary markedly. I have ingested 1g of iboga root bark and gone about my day and been fine on it though...I could definitely feel it, for me it gave me a subtle lift, of grounded, calm energy, but it was a nice addition to the day and certainly didn't detract or interfere in any way (was a Saturday daytime though with no major work obligations). Interestingly though I felt even better the day after I had taken it, personally for me I only ever feel good following iboga and welcome that state of mind.

If you plan on taking it in the eve, I would recommend not taking it too close to bedtime as I have found it can definitely interfere with sleep.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll keep that in mind about it interfering with sleep.
