A record appearing here does not by itself mean ibogaine is proven effective for a given condition — see each condition page’s evidence breakdown for what’s actually established.
Ibogaine is a naturally occurring hallucinogenic alkaloid originally used in ritualistic ceremonies by West Central African tribes for centuries. Ibogaine's rise in popularity in the 1960s was fueled by reports from those with a heroin addiction that claimed ibogaine stemmed thei...
Though opioid agonist therapies are the mainstay of treatment for opioid use disorder, treatment retention remains suboptimal. Improved prediction of who will remain in treatment could lead to improved treatment outcomes. Whether craving predicts reduced retention in treatment re...
Ibogaine and its main metabolite noribogaine provide important molecular prototypes for markedly different treatment of substance use disorders and co-morbid mental health illnesses. However, these compounds present a cardiac safety risk and a highly complex molecular mechanism. ...
Given the ongoing opioid crisis, novel interventions to treat severe opioid use disorder (OUD) are urgently needed. Injectable opioid agonist therapy (iOAT) with diacetylmorphine or hydromorphone is effective for the treatment of severe, treatment-refractory OUD, however barriers...
Ibogaine is a psychotropic indole alkaloid extracted from the roots of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub from the Apocynaceae family. Depending on the taken dose, it can lead to stimulant effects, euphoria, visual and auditory hallucinations, along with auditory, olfactory, and gustato...
Ibogaine is a psychoactive indole alkaloid that has been investigated for use as a treatment for opioid addiction. While not commercially available in the United States, it is available via Internet suppliers. Ibogaine use has been associated with significant cardiac and neurolog...
The use of complementary medicines in those with mental health problems is well documented. However, their effectiveness is often not established and they may be less harmless than commonly assumed. To review the complementary medicines routinely encountered in psychiatric practi...
Ibogaine is an indole alkaloid found in the roots of Tabernanthe Iboga (Apocynaceae family), a rain forest shrub that is native to western Africa. Ibogaine is used by indigenous peoples in low doses to combat fatigue, hunger and thirst, and in higher doses as a sacrament in relig...
