hmmmmm .... heard of this thing. Its a tryptan with psychedelic activity.
Depends what you treating, if you treating heroin or sugars addiction I wouldnt advise anyone taking this and stick with methadone or sabutex. The reason being with extreme opioid addiction withdrawing the opioid abruptly can be fatal.
Also you have to assess your patient, which is the biggest problem with addiction. Handling them as an outpatient is the difficult aspect handling drug abuse. A lot of these illict drugs that have curative properties are done in a controlled setting they not discharged or have a pack of the stuff at home.
A simple way to understand it is if you give a smoker a box of 30 cigs and you say "hey smoke only one cig a day" and the fellow is a chain smoker and wants to quit how long will those 30 cigs last? probably a day. Though if I take away all the cigs and say come to hospital/clinic when your widthdrawal is too extreme and I can control the amount, my treatment will obviously be more successful.
To be honest I dont know much about this ibogaine and I wouldnt bother about it until it goes through one of the 3 channels:
SAMJ
SAPJ
SAPS for abuse (LOL)
