For anyone who wants actual science:

According to this small sample, done by a respected doctor (Kenneth R. Alper, M.D), his results concluded that 61% of the people were abstinent from drugs for more than 2 months. 29% used drugs in the first 2 months, and 10% of the participants could not be determined. This sample is very small, but there are other studies that reflect similar results. Please seek out this information. There are NOT any studies that reflect what powerballad said, that people generally relapse in 30 days. That is not correct, and harmful to people who are looking for help.
A physicist recently said, "If anyone tells you that they know what electricity is, he is a damn liar. Nobody knows what it is!" The physiological action of Ibogaine is like nothing else. Many people, who have no experience with it, try to make guesses about which receptor Ibogaine works on, but the fact is that nobody knows how it works. It certainly works over the entire body, and it is not just psychoactive. Just like electricity, we have a basic understanding of what happens when you use it, and how to use it, but nobody really knows why it ends withdrawal, and causes such powerful self reflection. I can assure you that if it does hit the opiate receptor, it does not create anything like opiate-euphoria. It is rather uncomfortable.
I DO agree that you should investigate as many providers as you can. Talk with them and get a feel for how comfortable you are. I would not go so far as to say, "be wary of underground practitioners", because for the most part, they are a good group of people. And also, you dont really have a choice. Either you go to the clinics, the underground, or you dont take it. It is not for everyone.
My goal is to motivate people to research. Nobody will ever force anyone to take Ibogaine. It doesn’t work that way. Ibogaine is not a threat to you or your Suboxone. Ibogaine is not for people who want to take Suboxone. It is for people who want to stop opiates.
Thank you all for reading this. Telling people about Ibogaine is the right thing to do.
