Hey guys, I am new to this board. I was told that there was an ibogaine discusion and as I have done Ibogaine treatment, I thought I would check it out. i would love it if anyone else who has gone through ibogaine would email me so that we could share experiences. I have found that some of the similarites in visions are almost unbelieveable!
As to my addictions, I am am/was a heroin addict for about three years. I am now on suboxone, which worked okay for the first few months, but now I am craving a LOT (havent used though) and feeling like I am having withdrawals at night. It feels like minor withdrawals, except for the leg cramps, which ae SO intense that I am having a hard time dealing with it. Anybody else on suboxone that can relate? Maybe I need an increase, but before I do get one, I need to find some info out. I have heard that suboxone is bad for the liver. (I think its the naloxone) I have hep C and when I read "Important to get frequent liver tests while taking this prescription" on the slip that comes with the suboxone I flipped out and panicked. I can not afford to get frequent liver tests, and can not put it on my insurance because they don't know I have hep C and my insurance runs out soon. (I haven't been tested but am almost 100% positive that I have it) So if I get tested I will have to tell the next insurance company that I am hepC positive and probably get denied coverage. So I am just going to do research on the web and tell my doctor what I found. Unfortunatly he is not very patient friendly,is hard to talk to and doesn't believe a lot of what his patients tell him, (he never suggested liver tests so he might not even know that suboxone can cause liver damage), so I need to get a little proof (if there is any) to show him that I could be damaging my liver and that we need to discuss other options. So, my whole point is, if Anyone has Any info on suboxone and hepC Please reply or mail me and let me know! Hope to get to know you all!
