Eligibility
Ibogaine is not for everyone — and the exclusions are not fine print, they are the whole game.
Who tends to be a candidate
- Opioid, alcohol, or stimulant dependence — especially where other approaches have repeatedly failed
- PTSD, trauma, or treatment-resistant depression that has plateaued under conventional care
- High-functioning but stuck — capable, outwardly fine, privately exhausted by a loop
- Able to travel to a country where treatment is lawful, and serious about aftercare
Who is typically ruled out
- Heart conditions — arrhythmia, prolonged QT, structural disease, prior cardiac events
- Certain daily medications, including some antidepressants and methadone (transition protocols exist, but take time)
- Severe liver or kidney impairment
- History of psychosis · pregnancy
The exclusions exist because ibogaine affects the heart's electrical rhythm. If one applies to you, the conversation starts with a physician and an ECG, not a booking form — the full medical logic is on Safety & Protocols, and the alternatives page shows what still works if the answer is no.
