Common iboga side effects from flood dose

Other than the racing heart beat the rest sounds like a normal description in a way. I think if you can just accept it all and go with it you will have more positive experience. Good luck.

You might think you're gonna die.  That's what happens to me nearly every time.  Best way to treat this is don't rest your hands anywhere close to your heart.  That way you won't be so paranoid about dying. Breathing did you mention that?  Cause sometimes you'll forget to breathe for a bit and take a huge gulp.  Remember to breathe often.  But sometimes you might have to conciously rememeber to breathe as it is not as automatic as usual.  Music?  Or you don't listen to music during Iboga, I think.  Anyways of becoming the music/mating with it.  Understanding forgeign languages, sounds, understanding small sounds as full meanings.  Easily irritated by talking.  You're sitter should not be on the phone or have any outside conversations.  None.

By the way funny u mentioned no outside conversations, the iboga house failed at this I was so fkn distracted, there were 4 other people journeying around me and all were talking out loud I'm so glad I won't be in that setting this time

Ugh! I just did a whole reply but when you posted my post got by bye'd.  So I'll try again. No you won't.  At most 20 seconds, just be careful about gasping for air as that seems to trigger paranoid thoughts. From having people monitor me in flood states it seems my heart was not very abnormal, just felt that way.  So after having that confirmed a couple times I just trust it is fine and don't put my hands anywhere near pulse regions and especially not on my chest.  It seems we share the paranoia of "Oh shit I'm gonna die entheogenic syndrome".  I'm getting better at this but the other day I had a brush with this.  Who knows if it is legit or not.  Anyways an example... I always do Kambo before Ayahuasca because um...what's the point of Ayahuasca without the Kambo synergy?  Anyways I did 3 dots on meridian points close to my liver.  I guess I didn't realize how much a detox synergy this would cause when I drink the Mother.  I had her too soon afterwords and I should have aloud more space.  The amount of detox I did in an hour made me feel like I was going to die.  It definitely rang true the words, "God only gives you as much as you can handle".  I was on the kathleen, visions with the cathartic both sided purgings, all around visions everywhere...zoom zoom.

Hot damn your need to be thorough has me working overtime at the laundry mat (internet connection). Ok...Ok...here goes anyone else can chime in too MissJess is all about addressing all what if's.  Yes to your side or I also do a lot of prayer postures.  Personally I can't having them anywhere on my body not even my stomach.  I'm always on my back until like 8 hrs into it.  Haha!!! Well yes what we're looking for is results not instant gratification.  Hence, THANK GOD I did that, would I recommend others do that same method...no.   But results were amazing! Let's hope that with all your preperation on the boards that you won't have a paranoid stage.  With all joking aside best to get all it out here and now.

Jess, there is a reason people listen to music.  I understand if you feel this bad for some reason.  The right music can actually alter your brain chemistry in a way similar to a mild tranquilizer.  An eye mask is nice too, you can achieve the necessary theta/meditative state and enjoy it.  Make sure you feel safe about your environment, just breathe as it will slow down your biological and mental angst, if any.  You are obviously not one to just let the drug take you and trust that you are healthy enough to endure whatever the mission of the plant is.  A racing heart beat happens, buzzing, seeing people, just let it happen.  My first flood, I had anxiety, but it was more about, "Is this working?"  or "Did I just waste all my money and time, etc."  It really took away from the experience.  Every other time since then has been nothing but a step closer to where I am now, which is alive, awake, and aware.   Lay in fetal position or on your back or whatever makes you calm and relaxed, under covers if you want, eye mask the height of it can be nice, head phones with soothing music, smile, learn from what is happening, imagine the magic of the re-wiring and setting of the noribogaine, mmmm.  Know that it is bigger than anything we know and it takes time.  Respect the process and just let it happen, and know you will come out the other side with direction from beyond.  If you can allow the experience to take you, and trust your methods, your sitters, your space, then you can just lay back and let it happen.  You will become a freaking drone just being re-programmed by the divine himself and your organic body and mind will be awake the whole time.  The wisdom of it all cannot be felt all at once.  It is integrated over time through life practice.  Be well and safe journey!

With the music I am not doing it at a bwiti tradition place it's just going to be with an experienced provider he may mention music he may not I will wait to see. I've always had safety and trust issues due to circumstances in my life and in my first experience I deffiantely did not feel safe and the setting was not for me at all. I like the idea of tripping alone in the quiet with 2 people monitoring me. I plan to meditate before my flood and pray also Thanks for your input everyone
