Some cases have been reported to me where such waves may occur even five or seven days after the first treatment. This was the root of several relapsing cases. Just a little bit of patience is needed. This is unfortunately something that addicts lack, obviously. Actually, several addicts returned to drugs within few days, even without having experienced any of these waves.
Teenagers tend to explore the limits of their possibilities and feel like masters of the universe.
They're most tempted, once ibogaine eliminates their addiction as such, to try to take just the 'best part' from the drugs without getting addicted again. Of course, they keep on failing. The combination of drug abuse and immaturity is really difficult. You represent the authority against which they fight, and being undisciplined means for them being strong. Parents, which are generally the ones who contact me, want to believe that the only thing that is needed is to eliminate addiction itself and their child will be finally out of this mess.
