> Fatalities Temporally Associated with the Ingestion of Ibogaine
> Abstract: Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive plant alkaloid that is used globally in medical and nonmedical settings for opioid detoxification and other substance use indications. All available autopsy, toxicological, and investigative reports were systematically reviewed for the consecutive series of all known fatalities outside of West Central Africa temporally related to the use of ibogaine from 1990 through 2008. Nineteen individuals (15 men, four women between 24 and 54 years old) are known to have died within 1.5–76 h of taking ibogaine. The clinical and postmortem evidence did not suggest a characteristic syndrome of neurotoxicity. Advanced preexisting medical comorbidities, which were mainly cardiovascular, and/or one or more commonly abused substances explained or contributed to the death in 12 of the 14 cases for which adequate postmortem data were available. Other apparent risk factors include seizures associated with withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines and the uninformed use of ethnopharmacological forms of ibogaine.

- dev_tty01 3y agoVery similar to iocane.
- metabagel 3y agoReputable sources indicate you can actually develop an immunity to iocane powder, but takes a few years.
- calibas 3y agoSo don't take it if you have heart problems, but otherwise it's safe compared to other drugs, legal or illegal.
- consumer451 3y agoI am not a doctor, but that does appear to be the case. I posted it because a lot of people do have heart problems.
- 7e 3y agoYour first indication that you have a heart problem might be when it stops soon after ingesting this drug.
- ALittleLight 3y agoYou should go read that paper. I read it a while ago, but all the cases are extreme circumstances if my memory serves. Ibogaine is fairly safe and used as a treatment for opioid addiction in Australia and New Zealand. (I am not a doctor and "fairly safe" is not meant to be a recommendation).
