A 22-year-old man developed visual memories, nausea, vomiting, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures with additional grand mal seizures after taking a cumulative 38 g dose of ibogaine in two doses. He was treated with midazolam and levetiracetam; drug screenings and brain imaging were negative. Knowledge of ibogaine's side effects has mainly come from reports of cardiovascular complications; seizures are rarely mentioned and experimental findings are inconsistent. It seems that ibogaine acts like a proconvulsive drug at high doses.
