Microdosing Iboga Rootbark
Amen to all that !
I'm curious, when low dosing/microdosing, does it kick it rather quickly (on an empty stomach) or does it take taking some for some days or weeks before getting the effects of it? Something I'm interested in doing...
Well, I haven't been microdosing bark, but rather dosing the TA, usually .5, up to 1 gram at a time, once a week or more often. It works for me in all the ways mentioned. It is great stimulation, at boosting energy/anti-fatigue, as well as an anti-depressant. My mood stays better, I have a more even temper, and the little bit of trails and body buzz is fun, too. I haven't been doing it long enough to notice long term effects, but in the short term, all those benefits are enough to keep me trying for the long term! torrie_learns, with the doses I use, on an empty stomach (plus I poke a hole in one end of the capsule), it hits in about 30-60 minutes. If I eat with it, it often takes longer to hit me, or is less noticeable. I prefer to eat a capsule in the morning with some fruit juice, then after it begins hitting, having a light meal. It does take away some of my appetite early, but it returns even more later. I don't have a weight problem, but iboga does seem to help my appetite.. The effects seem to last for days, at least..
Hello All , i always do my boosts on an empty stomach . I also try not to eat for 6-12 hr later also . this has been very effective with me in many of the ways that GD reported work with him. These doses seem to benifet everybody who does them in these common ways . It is also an effective way to quit smoking. -hp
big thanks guys! What does it mean "TA" and by "Boosts" you mean small doses, right? Im ordering my very first Iboga bark root and will update myself here
boosts : smaller doses usually at least a gram or over . I consider micro doses as less than a gram . 100-900 mg range but when one says micro they might mean mini and thats small too right ? so its all really to do with the tiny maybe. TA: total alkloid - its a condensed version of root bark and HCL is an even more cleaned up version that void of various alkoids the TA packs in . ones like the lear jet with just the rock star on it and the other is like a bus with the whole school band(that kicks ass) on it . -hp
Harvey is probably referring to TA, since 1g of ibogaine HCl is a fairly high dose. A 1g dose of TA would contain ~300mg ibogaine and is over-threshold (i.e. you would definitely feel it). A 1g dose of RB would be ~50mg and is sub-threshold. There is no hard and fast definition for 'boost' and the amount will vary depending on the person and why he/she is using it. Plus, TA can vary from ~30% to ~80%. Ya gotta do the math to do it right! ~et
Hey deepwren! Glad to see you found the Forum! Welcome! TA = Total Alkaloid extract -- used for everything from small doses to flood (high) doses. Many prefer it to the more pure ibogaine HCl. Boosts = These vary from maybe 50mg to 500 mg of pure ibogaine -- sub-threshold to over-threshold -- doses, usually to prolong the effects of a much larger therapeutic dose. Originated in addiction cessation therapy to aid in post treatment withdrawal symptoms including depression and the urge to use drugs. Ibogaine persists in the system for some time, some say up to a month. Hence, small repeated doses will have a cumulative effect. If a daily dose is large enough, one will experience marked stimulation and usually insomnia after a while. This can be eliminated by skipping a day or two to lower residual ibogaine levels. About 1g of root bark (RB) ~= 50mg ibogaine is a good place to start for daily use, IMO. I have used daily doses to good effect for depression, anxiety and stomach problems. Unlike most Rx drugs, you will probably find that you will not continue using iboga for ever. It is a true medicine that heals, instead of just masking symptoms like most Rx drugs. Most Rx drugs are designed, in part, to make continued profits for drug companies, not to heal and eliminate the need for further use. Peace, Love & Health! guenevere_walks PS -- I see Harvey responded while I was writing mine. Gonna let mine go as is -- you get 2 responses for the price of 1 -- what a deal! ~e
i was speaking of rb and TA doses . im still very spacey yet . thanks guenevere_walks. - bee
I'd suggest starting low, and if you don't feel much within an hour, I'd suggest trying a bit more. Once you find the dose that gives definite noticeable effects, experiment with that dose, to see how often you can do so, without building up to over-stimulation.. I can take a half gram of TA even 3 days in a row, without trouble, but I haven't gone longer. Usually the most I have done in a week is about 1.5-2 grams of TA, of the same quality as Iboga Worlds.. Works good for me, although it's kind of expensive, and I don't honestly need it to feel okay. It is a great booster, though, for mood and energy.
Ibogaine at 8mg rocks! just enjoyed these two paragraphs Lambarene(TM) was produced in France, and contained about 200mg of extract or 8mg of ibogaine per tablet. The package label described it as: "a neuromuscular stimulant, promoting cell combustions and getting rid of fatigue, indicated in cases of depression, asthenia, in convalescence, infectious diseases, greater than normal physical or mental efforts by healthy individuals. 2-4 tablets daily. Rapid and prolonged action not followed by depression. May be administered to hypertensives." Lambarene(TM) was of particular interest to post-World War II athletes and French mountaineers because of its antifatigue properties, and continued to be marketed in France until 1966 when ibogaine was prohibited in France. Since 1989, ibogaine has also been banned by the International Olympic Committee, the International Union of Cyclists and the French State Secretariat for Youth and Sports (Gouteral, 1992). 8mg gotta be around 200mg RB, nice
Interesting to hear niceboat, thanks for that one!
I have some questions on this as well....if i am coming off 2.5 mg of methadone a day and currently taking 200mg of seroquel and 0.2m of clonidine a day, am i safe in taking a 1g dose of RB and then doing 250mg boosters throughout the next couple days, and will this help at all or will it be a complete waste..... basically i am coming up on my last dose of methadone, and dont have time to order more RB or other iboga, (am hoping my RB from shamanic is here in time) so whats the best thing to do?
I am not sure about ibo and serioquel, but maybe Calaquendi knows, as I know he has taken seroquel. That tiny bit of rootbark isn't going to do much for withdrawal, unfortunately. While one gram or two of bark might give you some feeling or stop your withdrawal for a few hours, it's not gonna do much more. One needs a large dose of ibo, for a flood, then low doses after to keep away withdrawal, until the brain balances it's neurochemistry.. The iboga alkaloids fill in the receptors that the methadone would. Then your body needs to start producing it's own chemicals, that it quit making when you started putting artificial ones in there. This can take weeks to months and having boosters after the flood will help keep away the post acute withdrawal, until your own mind is operating properly.
