I couldn't tell if your post was complete because it sort of ended in mid-sentence.  If the post concerns your own drinking then you should have had all the symptoms by now and be an expert.  Usually 72 hours into withdrawalsDelirium tremens are the worst of it.  After drinking half a gallon a day for that long you should seek medical advice for sure!  Then again, I don't know how much and for how long you have normally drank in the past.  J.B.

I think that might have been me posting about Ibogaine. I do happen to know quite a bit about Ibogaine, 'cause I've been researching it pretty hot and heavy.



I'll include some links later, but here is a quick run-down.



Ibogaine is a schedule I substanceDrug abuse in the US. There is some small research going on, but funds are scarce. Apparently, Ibogaine is a one-shot, slam-dunk for addictionDrug abuse and dependence to a variety of substancesDrug abuse, most notably opiods, cocaineDrug abuse, even nicotine. It is mildly hallucinogenic. Reports indicate that one treatment with this substanceDrug abuse blocks withdrawalDelirium tremens, and even craving seems to disappear for a varying length of up to several months, providing "breathingBreathing

One of the main researchers into the Ibogaine effect is Dr. D. Mash at the University of Miami. Dr. Mash runs an Ibogaine treatment facility on St. Kitts, where a two-week treatment regimen is $12,000.00 - cheap when compared to the alternatives. Even though only one treatment with Ibogaine is required, there is a follow-up period of observation and counseling. The amount quoted includes meals, housing, therapies, etc. I'm not recommending this treatment for anyone else, but of all the alternatives available for detox, this is the one I would pursue if I could ever find a way to deal with my chronicAcute vs. chronic conditions

(Would be nice if Dr. Steve would chime in on this topic)

I have been on an ibogaine subscriber list for over 2 years and am personally aware of many treatment options besides the one Francoise mentioned. I personally know of some treatment providers and also have spoken with a number of people who have done the ibogaine experience. My opinion, for a variety of reasons, is to not go with the treatment Francoise read about but would not feel it appropriate to mention them here. There are treatment providers with 25 years experience... and a fraction ... a miniscule fraction of the island adventure:-))



It is not likely that Dr. Steve will reply as I had posted a quesion about ibogaine and it was deleted. Someone else posted a question some months after I did... it was really a heroinDrug abuse question but included a query about Ibogaine. Dr. Steve's reply was that the treatment was probably not availble in that person's area and went on to suggest the 12 step program. Any discussions about ibogaine here are generally deleted somewhat quickly. I have been on this board a year so I am pretty sure of that.



Ibogaine is an arduous 2-3 day awakened dreaming experience whih for some reason takes a person backBack pain - low
Back strain treatment to past issues, among other things. It should never be attempted without a trained "guide", makes you quite sickSick sinus syndrome, and is not a guarantee of arresting addictionDrug abuse and dependence. It is recommended to be followed with therapy of some sort such as support groups, counselling or a 12 step program. It will interrupt addictionDrug abuse and dependence significantly  and the person will miss the torturous withdrawl which is a big help. Some people need a second or third treatment. Some people claim one time was enough but have not been tracked to see if they ever relapsed.



From what I have learned in 2 years... alot by the way... I would try it and I am not an addict... my daugter is one year clean of a 3 year heroinDrug abuse addictionDrug abuse and dependence but cannot leave the country for a treatment as she is on house arrest. She plans to do it someday when she is permitted to travel to re-inforce her recoveryRecovery position - series.



I suggested to Francoise that  to go to www.ibogaine.org and follow the links... there is a subscriber list that will put you in touch with those who can educate you and direct you towards treatment options. In my humble opinion it's best to learn all you can before you jump in. And don't do what I did and post on the list that you want to know where to get a treatment.... they jumped down my throatCancer - throat or larynx
