The administration launched America’s first federally funded clinical trials of ibogaine, a Schedule I psychedelic, for addiction and PTSD. The FDA also warns it can cause dangerous heart rhythms. Federal drug policy has entered a fascinating new chapter. #Ibogaine

But on the whole our first week was positive and a significant improvement over the 15 years prior. We were actually doing things together and I didn't feel like I was constantly watching my back and his behaviour. #ibogaine

At the same time, we fought more than usual. He is convinced of his perfect near eidetic memory. His perspective is "objective truth" in his mind. But he was forgetting a lot! He was also less considerate, more egocentric and combative than before. #ibogaine

I bought a month train pass so he could travel whenever he wanted and we traveled a lot during that time. It was magical. The fear of being outside, the intense discomfort with crowds and other people in general are all gone. Still gone. #ibogaine

The only way I can describe this first week back is a mania with short term memory issues. He was super happy, smiling, laughing, singing, travelling but also telling me the same things over and over each time like it was the first time for him. #ibogaine

This thread is about the first week back #ibogaine

What is ibogaine, and what does it treat?

He truly came back a changed person. He had found all his love and youthful joy from way back before he was hurt. He had completely shed all the fear, worry, sadness. He couldn't even imagine what sadness felt like. He was genuinely smiling. Incredible. #ibogaine

Before he hung up he said "gotta go. I'm catching a ferry to the north island to see the cathedral up there and get a smooshed penny!" I said "Who ARE you and what have you done with my husband??!!" #ibogaine

He arrived safely, went to his hotel and slept. The next morning, Tuesday, the sessions began. I knew that the #ibogaine would be administered on Wednesday and not to expect any news before Thursday.

Possible side effects of the therapy dosage of #ibogaine include death from heart failure. I'm not saying this to scare you but to illustrate the balance of facts we had been chewing on for weeks.

This second thread is about the therapy week itself.
#ibogaine

He booked himself into one of their first sessions in June. A full week of #ibogaine assisted therapy under close medical supervision. He needed to get bloodwork done before the session. He hated needles and blood. But the possibility of healing was a strong motivator.

In January this year he heard about #ambiolife a company running #ibogaine assisted therapy weeks in Malta. - I cannot stress how encouraged I was also by the fact that he was driving the process himself. Up to that point it was always my initiative or nothing happened.

Round about that time a documentary aired on Netflix about US military vets organising #ibogaine treatment in Mexico. It started to sound doable.

I spent time attending various university lectures on psychedelic assisted therapy. Locally they were running trials with MDMA and psilocibin. It sounded very promising so I talked to him about it and he was open to the idea. #ibogaine

Long story short he'd been struggling with PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, for decades and was self-medicating with alcohol binge drinking. One really good therapist worked wonders but passed away. End of 2025 we were back in a deep hole. #ibogaine
