Clip from my BBC broadcast documentary Detox or Die. This is at the point where I’ve taken my last dose of methadone and set off to London for a ‘quick fix’ treatment with the visionary drug ibogaine. Here’s the BBC description of the film: ‘Detox or Die provides an in-depth portrait of a small-time drug addict seeking redemption. Addicted to opiates for almost 20 years, filmmaker David Graham Scott decides to opt for a quick fix. The radical detox agent ibogaine puts the user into a gut-wrenching hallucinatory state for 36 hours from which he emerges cleansed of his addiction. But several fatalities have been reported in connection with the unlicensed drug and Scott must weigh up the options before embarking on the trip of a lifetime.’ Broadcast as part of bbc1′s ONE life strand.

You are a very strong person, congratulations!
Keep going my friend! You’re doing well. DGS x
I’m detoxing after slowly tapering down to 5 mgs. I’m 5 days into it and the only symptoms are leeplessess/restlessness at night and aching bones and a little irritability. It’s nothing really, but still sucks. I haven’t slept more than 3 hours in the past two days.
Lol! I keep finding such bottles David, some with “Green” still swilling around…
You’re definitely one of the lucky ones! I guess you must have tapered your daily dose down to a small amount. Whatever the case, I’m glad you’re not suffering. Withdrawl from methadone takes longer to kick in but you should be feeling the pain after 4 days.
…Im about 90 hours in my methadone detox; do you think this could be the calm before the storm? Or am I just one of the lucky ones?!
Lol, those bottles do pile up after a while! I’m currently detoxing off methadone, and after building it up so much, I’m finding it to be a walk in the park. My comparison would be: heroin withdrawal is like bad flu, whilst methadone withdrawal is like a bad cold. With heroin WD I would wake up nauseas, and eat very little, but with methadone Ive found my appetite to be ravenous! Im averaging 4 meals a day!…
who the fk do you think you are you lousey scumbag.
Yes…but this isn’t the only film I’ve made. you can also find me on Facebook if you like.
David Graham Scott, are you really the man in the video?
It may sound crass…pardon me , to get through this , tons of water,sweat/excersise ,nutmeg and the occasional whisky and a proper trooper at your side would get ya through.
the bloody hippy way just puts another addiction in place of the former… but wow the strength of ya during this…..
thats the style!!!
be strong Dave!
Get through it.
i did a rapid detox in sydney australia nearly 2 years ago using naltrexone also known as revia. have been clean since and i would suggest to any idiots out there who want to hang shit on people trying to have a go, get a life…. and to all who really want to get clean, good luck, have some good family support and medical support close by….
Far as i know ibogaine is not available in the US however You can detox from methadone without medical treatment. you would wish you were dead. Med detox is deff. needed for detox from alcohol and benzo’s.
stinkin horrible black fuckin junkie bastarts yeez shood fuckin slit yer own throats ya smelly fuckers
how do i order im in canda
I really don’t feel qualified to tell you the exact amounts to use. I think I used 1.5g of HCL. I took it in stepped doses though. 1g (1000mg) first and then 1/2g after about 2 hours. For the tv documentary it wasn’t possible to be specific just in case someone had a fatal reaction from misreading the info. Please be very careful with this stuff and definitely don’t do it alone. You can contact me though personal mailings if you like.
i just ordered 500 mgs of Imogaine HCL 98% Iboga powder from internet for $300 in Canada I am 140 lbs. How much do i take. I dont have the money to fly out to a professional clinic so i will detox off of 44 mgs of methadone at home with supervision from a friend and my fiancee. Does anyone know? please help
Yes I remember seeing this quite a while ago, quite a scary trip as I remember. Hope you are doing well/better.
I end up practically wading through empty methadone bottles.
saw this repeated on some bbc digital channel last night, i had forgotten what a brilliant documentary it is…I have seen Wireburners and Little criminals,having worked with addicts for many years i am always interested in films and tv on this subject,but David’s i think are the best.Always helped along by that gentle highlands voice over.One complaint, a little more carla wouldn’t go amiss.Does anyone know if it is possible to buy “Beyond the Highlands”anywhere,as i would love to see it.
Iam so proud of you for sharing
i needed to see this, thanx alot
loved it…-”dosen’t mean it’s neccesarrily bad”, loved it
Really great to see all of this. You know what I’m going through…
Excellent!
Wish I’d kept that velvet jacket!
I guess I was just wondering if the BEEB was going to release it, or if it was available commercially. Real good stuff.
Yeah but it probably won’t work on yer American DVD playa! Just type in Detox or Die and you’ll find that cmac20 has the whole film on there in 5 parts. See if that DVD player can do multi regions and get back to me.
