My 18-month update: Life after ibogaine for fentanyl addiction

I want to share my experience 18 months after ibogaine treatment for a severe fentanyl addiction that lasted 4 years. I was using 2-3 grams of fentanyl daily and had tried methadone, Suboxone, and two inpatient rehabs before finding ibogaine. Nothing stuck longer than a few weeks. The treatment itself was the hardest thing I've ever done. The flood dose was intense — about 20 hours of deep introspection. I saw patterns in my life I'd never recognized. I understood why I was using, not just that I needed to stop. The physical withdrawal symptoms were reduced by about 90% compared to cold turkey. I still had some discomfort in the first week after, but nothing like what I'd experienced before. **Where I am now:** - 18 months completely clean - Back at work full-time - Rebuilt relationships with my family - In therapy weekly for integration - Did one booster session at 6 months **What helped most:** - Having a solid integration plan BEFORE treatment - Weekly therapy for the first 6 months - Staying connected to this community - The booster at 6 months when cravings returned briefly I'm not going to pretend it was magic. The ibogaine opened a door, but I had to walk through it. The real work is in the integration. Happy to answer any questions. You're not alone in this.
