Ayahuasca Withdrawal Symptoms
The active compounds in ayahuasca, DMT and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), have not been found to cause dependency. Clinically, a compound must cause dependency before it can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Ayahuasca side effects include physical effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, as well as psychological side effects such as fear-inducing hallucinations. While ayahuasca does not cause clinical withdrawal symptoms, some people report that the ayahuasca experience can bring up emotions or memories that may be recalled in the days or weeks following the trip.
