[ti...] Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I have heard that term used, not sure if its restarting your taper, rescue dose, but it doesn't sound pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Va...] Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The definition: Kindling refers to the phenomenon of increasingly severe withdrawal symptoms, including an increased risk of seizures, that occurs as a result of repeated withdrawal from alcohol or other sedative-hypnotics with related modes of action. Ethanol (alcohol) has a very similar mechanism of tolerance and withdrawal to benzodiazepines, involving the GABAA receptors , NMDA receptors and AMPA receptors, but the majority of research into kindling has primarily focused on alcohol.[1] An intensification of anxiety and other psychological symptoms of alcohol withdrawal also occurs.[2] --V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ho...] Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think of and use the term to mean starting an updose after tapering or cold turkey with accompanying negative side effects, that "kindle" or restart a potentially worse or bigger "fire" each time. I have kindled and it does get worse for me each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ti...] Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 For some reason I am not getting notifications. Sorry for the late response. Good to know on the kindling. I have updosed but it didn't really affect me. Maybe because I am just starting out really really slowly. So I guess this means that benzos will not work ever even long after my body is "clean"?
