I had been seeing a dr. since April '09 who had been prescribing 140 30mg roxicodone and 45 2mg xanax monthly. I had tried to bring to his attention at my last appointment the unprofessional behavior of his staff in a calm manner, but he began berating me over it. He yelled at me repeatedly and when I told him I was calm and did not understand why he wasn't, he told me he didn't care. That he had over 800 patients in his office and if it was not a big deal to him if I left. Needless to say I received a letter in the mail stating I was being discharged because he was told from "several" people that I was saying rude things about him. This is untrue. It's not even in my nature to do that. So now I am terrified as to what I am going to do without my medications. I feel that this was very irresponsible. Can you please tell me where to begin?

I personally have read quite a bit on Ibogaine; it does indeed have a long history, and its use as a treatment for drug addiction sounds promising. Sadly, its status as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States (as well as being controlled in many other societies) makes qualified studies, let alone treatment providers, hard to come by. I do thank you for your comment, encourage my readers to investigate Ibogaine, and will work on it as the subject of a future post. Map:
