Effects of low dose ibogaine on subjective mood state and psychological performance

This open-label study investigated the effects of low-dose ibogaine 20mg on subjective mood states and a range of cognitive functions. There was no effect on subjective mood states or cognitive performance related to basic visuomotor function, inhibitory function, memory function, task switching, or selective attention. Future studies would require a wider dose range, placebo-controls, and larger sample sizes to determine whether ibogaine affects these faculties.
