Iboga Insight

Information

For legal and safety reasons, I am not able to offer direct guidance on microdosing. I do not want to step outside of my area of expertise. It is important that you always seek proper instruction from a qualified individual, who can perform the necessary safety checks, including health and contraindicated medications, offer you guidance and monitor you. Observing the laws of your nation is also imperative, as you could be at risk of prosecution.

Those who are regularly consuming Iboga are advised to create a printed document that can be given to emergency services and healthcare providers, so that they are aware to avoid administering contraindicated medicines.

Microdosing is using small quantities of Iboga, or one of its extracts. Microdosing Iboga is generally at a very low dose range, from sub-perceptual, meaning that it is not noticeable, up to the level where it is a mild stimulant, but not to the point where consciousness is altered in any significant way.

It is important when considering microdosing to remember that unlike psilocybin and other classical psychedelics, which are widely microdosed today, as we understand it, your body does not build up a tolerance to Ibogaine. With Mushrooms the effects diminish, as your body adapts and metabolises the active compounds more efficiently. With Iboga, the active compounds build up and accumulate in the body, meaning that dosing regimens have to be conducted carefully, to avoid any health issues or other dangers.

I know of individuals who have microdosed with Iboga for long periods, without adequate monitoring and cycling. They have experienced altered perception and ataxia, or shakiness. This can be worrying and indicate that an individual is at risk of health complications.

Reports and limited studies suggest many potential benefits of Iboga microdosing:

Mood Enhancement – Users report reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Increased Motivation – Some people experience heightened drive and focus.

Neurogenesis – Iboga microdosing may promote brain cell growth.

Neuroplasticity- Iboga microdosing may enhance neuroplasticity, making habit break and habit formation easier as well as supporting learning.

Improved Focus and Clarity – Some users suggest that Iboga is a nootropic (cognitive enhancer).

Increased Creativity – Iboga microdosing might encourage divergent thinking and problem-solving skills.

Reduced Cravings – Iboga microdosing might support ongoing anti-addictive efforts.

Breaking Negative Patterns – Some report that Iboga microdosing helps with compulsive behaviours and emotional triggers.

Increased Energy Levels – Some report that Iboga microdosing leads to feeling more physically active, engaged and greater endurance.

Pain Relief – Iboga microdosing may have analgesic effects for chronic pain or nerve damage.

Parkinsons Disease - Ongoing research shows that Iboga microdosing may help to alleviate or reverse symptoms of Parkinsons Disease.

ADHD- Some people find that Iboga microdosing is a highly effective remedy for ADHD and ADD symptoms.

Social Confidence - Some use Iboga microdosing as a means to feel more grounded, stable and to reduce anxiety in social situations. With the neuroplastic effects, this can potentially create lasting changes in confidence and self-perception.
