Ibogaine HCL - any expierences with it?

So, a little birdy may be able to get me some Ibogaine HCL -- and I'm just curious if anyone has any expierences with it? There seems to be a lacking of info over at erowid - there is some, but not much. I've also been reading through some of the expierences @ this website, and they seem very interesting.
Not looking for a 'recreational' trip, and this seems to be some pretty heavy stuff.

I've never done it, but from what I've heard from people using/administering it in a medical context, HAVE A SITTER who can monitor you as there is a risk of slowed heart rate. Plus most people don't want to move at all during the experience because of extreme nausea caused by moving the head, so its best to have someone there who can see to your needs. The Ibogaine Dossier has some info on it, but mostly in its use as a treatment for addiction.

A few years ago I purchased 7 grams from a therapist while in Holland. I took it several times by myself and once with friends in the desert. My dosage was 1.25 grams. It's a very unique substance to say the least. I cannot emphasise enough that this is not a recreational drug. It's not really a fun experiance at all, but an important one. Life is very different afterwards( in a good way). It has a way of bringing up old attachments that need work. My first trip brought up something that I thought I had worked through and was totally at peace with. It was my brothers death during the Vietnam war more than 3 decades ago. Iboga showed me that I was still holding resentment although I had worked on it with LSD and time. It showed me in great detail how this angry attachment affected my perception and interaction in life. It freed me from that.
All in all it was a very valuable experiance. The bodyload is very extreme so be prepared to lay down for the first 6 hours. It's visuals are not like any other psychedelic. I also will never take Ibogaine again. Not becuase I don't like it, but becuase it did what it needed to do and now it's done. Perhaps if I had some traumatic event in my life I would consider doing it again, but other then that I have no desire to ever take it again. I would prefer to see it go to someone who needed it's help.
Once more this is definatly not a recreational drug. Even if you are the type that likes to drop psychedelics once in awhile for kicks this isn't the drug for that.
If you have any more questions I'll try to answer them if I can.

Aminita's have never given me visuals. I don't find them psychedelic. Salvia's visuals are not anything like Ibogaines. Salivia gives me intense visuals that make no sense and have no content of value to me.
Ibogaines visuals are like the reports suggest, very personal. The most intense one was of me walking through a jungle. I was thinking about a girl that I knew. At this point I realized I was actually my brother. As I was moving through the jungle I heard a loud crack ring out. I immediatly flew onto my back as I felt a intese thud to my chest. I experianced my brothers death. I won't go into any more detail about that except it was very, very painful for me. Until the soul was released to the light. At that moment I let go of my attachment to my brothers death, becuase I knew it was all ok. I forgave the Viet-cong sniper who ended his life.
The visuals me and my friends had were very personal at first and seemed to take us back to the energy of creation which is beyond words and can be seen on large doses of LSD ext. The difference was that it shown how every action in are lives was caused by something and had a effect on something. The visuals were not really psychedelic at first. It was more of a reliving of our life and lessons. After we paid our due to this show we were treated to scenes of a living force that was very psychedelic. Iboga showed us humanity in it's true state. From the begining to the present( for one of my friends it showed him the end of all). We were in a state of the present moment that released alot of baggage. I remember seeing a wooden mask that stayed in my vision for a long time. I thought "whats so special about this? At that moment the holes where the eyes were lit up in the light of pure unconditional Love that is God. I cried and apologized for not recongnizing this diety as the creator when I first saw it. The mask laughed then dissapeard. I then realized that this was a lesson on my perception. I realized that I should see every face as the One Love. 
It''s hard to describe the visions with any accruacy. Like all psychedelic experiances it's beyond words. One thing about Iboga is that the visions are very persoanl and at times very painful, but if you can summon up the courage to face what is being shown then a lesson is given that is worth more then anything you could possibly give. In closing Ibogaine is a gift, A very hard one, but one of immense value. I believe it's here for a reason.

THAT was a good read....
I have read quite a few reports about Iboga over the past few years, and it is amazing how this one seems to have a "signature" effect on people with very vivid lasting recall of the experience....
I decided to leave this one alone - unless like ChinaCat said, something warrants it's use for a therapeutic type reason....

Chinacat- that's beautiful and touching. Have you ever written a full report? That's by far the best report I've ever read on Ibogaine, and it isn't even in full

Sorry to start the thread and not re-join it for so long. Chinacat, thanks for the responses - really great reading. Although, I think Ibogaine is legal in Canada as I've seen it on a few canadian vendor sites and they are not making any attempt to hide it, and its right along with other products (lots of other extracts, plants, etc), just a canadian ethnogen site.
But from what I've read, and what Chinacat says just re-affirms that I was right in it not being a 'recreational' drug, and also that it may be a usefull tool for what I want to do with it. I have some baggage sort of kicking around in me that I'm trying to come to terms with and deal with, and this seems like something that could be usefull in trying to do that.
Although, I'm curious on -- how long is the come up? and how long is the duration? and how is the comedown/after-effects?
Also, is there much differnece between the HCL and the Rootbark? Also, when you took the 1.25g of it, what form was it in?

Although, I did find a usefull bit of info on the 3 stages of an Iboga expierence.
Quote:
Phase 1: Acute
The first phase begins within 20 mins. to 3 hours of ingestion, with a duration of about 4 to 8 hours. During this time Nausea may occur followed by vomiting though this usually happens only once during the first several hours of treatment. For this reason the participant is encouraged to lie relatively still as movement may precipitate the nausea. An antinauseant is administered before the full dose to prevent the early onset of nausea. Mild tremors and ataxia have also been observed with a tendency for the tremors to be stronger in female cocaine or methamphetamine dependent subjects.
Most participants experience a sensitivity to light and sound. For this reason, the room is kept darkened and sound disturbance is limited, though appropriate, pre-selected music may be played if desired. To learn more about the role of music in therapy please see the articles in the music links.
The first phase of visual phenomena is generally marked by rapid and chaotic visual imagery lasting usually between 4-6 hours after the full dose has been taken. These visions may be quite intense during the 1st phase of the journey though it has been reported that they will generally subside temporarily if the eyes are opened.
One person described the first few hours of her experience as a sort of psychological dumping, explaining that it was as if various memories are brought to the surface to be noted and reorganised or discarded, thus allowing a kind of reorganization of memory. Some have experienced images of their life appearing as if on a screen or in a "waking dream".
Ibogaine has been termed an Oneirophrenic, which essentially means a substance that elicits 'a dream phenomenon without loss of consciousness or change in the perception of the environment or any illusions or formal deterioration of thought and without depersonalization'. (R. Goutarel 1993)
'The term "oneiric" (Greek, oneiros, dream) has been preferred to the term "hallucinogenic" in describing the subjective experience of the acute state. Not all participants experience visual phenomena from ibogaine, which may be related to dose, bioavailability, and interindividual variation' (K. Alper 2001).
Some have reported experiencing visions related to the addiction and life events contributing to it. These experiences potentially include the release of repressed memories, and may help the subject to understand the underlying reasons for his/her addictive behavior (Frenken, 2001).
Phase 2: Evaluative
The second phase is described as a sort of life review whereby the images become more personally related and process oriented. There are frequent descriptions of a visionary sequence in which an evaluation of their life takes place. Some meet family members or review a childhood experience. This phase may last between 5-20 hours.
It is seemingly a very personal experience and during this phase there is often little or no dialogue. It has been reported that the ibogaine itself seems to be the true facilitator and guide, inducing visions that relate symbolic and archetypal information or insight. Some have felt that this process facilitates a sense of self discovery and/or reconnection to spiritual ideals and ethos.
The frequency and pace of the visions or personal process often slow down during this phase. It is a time for reflection on the inner self and re-evaluation of one's path in life. During this time, integration of what was learned from the first phase of the experience may occur.
Phase 3: Residual Stimulation
This phase may last 10-24 hours or longer. It is a period of time where the visual effects start to subside and the individual remains awake often reviewing the experience. A return to normal consciousness occurs over time with some residual stimulation.
Some experience muscle soreness, perhaps due to remaining still and lying down for such a long period of time. However it can be resolved with stretching, light yoga, massage and movement such as walking.
The individual may remain awake for long periods of time afterwards or get short periods of light sleep. Some may have difficulty sleeping for long periods of time following treatment. This is quite normal.

I fasted for 24 hours before taking it. I noticed the first tingles within minutes of taking it. This could have been anticipation/placeabo or the effect of having a ton of it in my stomach and my body reacting. The body load becomes very apparent 30-45 minuntes after injestion. The "trip" phase lasts about 6-8 hours(shorter for my friend). Then afterwards there is a phase of stimulation that last 1-2 days and sleep is impossible and not really needed. The trip we took in the desert was neat. We triped at night and then the next day and night we wandered around the desert like little children on a playground.

I have never taken the root bark so I don't know. Quote:
