have you tried ibo before though?
brain chemistry - just tried magnesium. nmda antagonism doesn't seem to be my problem. i have poly-drug abuse issues from my adolescence (including benzo paws) that i am trying to fix.
Yes i have some iboga full spectrum extract, I take a few drops every now and then.
I'm bringing this compilation of information over from another forum (Nature's Herb forum) as it can be of great use to people here.
This is potentially a new paradigm for overcoming addiction, it takes a wholesome approach.
To relive both physical and mental addictions try the following for an unlimited period of time:
1. Chronic low dose iboga (threshold dose, meaning one that dose not produce any psychoactive effects etc)
2. Blue Lotus chronically before bed (balances/resensitizes the entire dopamine system)
3. NMDA antagonist stack which results in NMDA upregulation and resensitization of all neurotransmitters. It also removes tolerances to both endogenous and exogenous chemicals.
Examples: Zinc, Magnesium, Agmatine, NAC, garlic, parsley, Memantine
4. Prolactin inhibitors (notably for males, prolactin directly counters dopamine and visa versa)
Examples: Chaste Berry (D2 agonist), Zinc (its a DRI), Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E
5. Critical: Avoidance of ALL sources of wheat and dairy. Both result in the production of opioid peptide's that trigger the opioid receptors which can hinder the addiction recovery process.
6. Optional - Lemon essential oil (releases oxytocin which is the bonding hormone and provides natural sustainable antidepressant effects)
This resolves both the physical and mental side of addiction.
Personally, I am not an addict but engage in all of these regularly for general neuronal and "health maintenance".
