Psychedelic medicine has a language of its own — pharmacology, clinical practice, drug classes, legal status, and the words people use for the experience itself. Here they all are, in plain English. Search it, filter it, or jump by letter.
Ibogaine is the purified compound; iboga the root bark; noribogaine its long-lived metabolite; a flood dose the full therapeutic session; QT prolongation the cardiac effect screening exists for; integration the structured work after treatment. The A-to-Z below defines every term you will meet on this site and in clinic paperwork.
Educational reference only — not medical, legal, or dosing advice. Legal status and clinical terms change; verify against a primary source before acting. Some entries describe substances and practices that carry real risk; nothing here is an endorsement to use anything outside a properly supervised, lawful setting.
Iboga is the whole root bark with many alkaloids; ibogaine HCl is the purified compound clinics dose by body weight.
Ibogaine's active metabolite, persisting for weeks and proposed as the basis for reduced cravings after treatment.
The full therapeutic dose, typically 10–25 mg/kg, producing the 24–36 hour experience.
A lengthening of the heart's electrical reset interval that ibogaine can cause; ECG screening and monitoring exist to manage it.
