The highs resulting from methamphetamine use such as heightened energy levels, euphoria, racing blood pressure, talkativeness and irritability are all accompanied by an increased heart rate. Ibogaine decreases the heart rate so we ask meth users to stop taking the drug at least 3 days before arrival at Tabula Rasa Retreat. All other stimulants such as cocaine, crack, Ritalin, ephedra, Adderall, Vyvanse and other ADHD treatments must also be avoided.
Other effects of meth use include bowel loosening, nausea, sweating, violence, appetite suppression, increased body temperature and jaw clenching. With side effects such as these during use, we can easily imagine the severity of the withdrawal symptoms. Ibogaine can help bypass these.
It is believed that Ibogaine rebuilds the Methamphetamine destroyed synapse pathways.
Once this takes effect, there is a sharp decline in the need to use the drug. There follows dissipation in the intensity of cravings for Methamphetamine.
Not all those treated by ibogaine will experience their cravings fading completely. It is important to be aware of the possibility that they may linger in some form. It is here that our holistic treatment programme will make a difference. Implemented by a strong support team, our aftercare plan means the road to a more positive future post-Ibogaine is not travelled alone.
