What is "kindling"?

[[sh...]]

I saw this term on another thread, and I am not familiar with it.  Also, what is a "rescue dose?"

A rescue dose is a dose taken after one has "jumped." 

 

Here's the Wikipedia's definition of kindling:

 

Kindling due to substance withdrawal refers to the neurological condition which results from repeated withdrawal episodes from sedative–hypnotic drugs such as alcohol or benzodiazepines. Each withdrawal leads to more severe withdrawal symptoms than the previous withdrawal syndrome. Individuals who have had more withdrawal episodes are at an increased risk of very severe withdrawal symptoms, up to and including seizures, and death. Withdrawal from GABAergic-acting sedative–hypnotic drugs causes acute GABA-underactivity as well as glutamate overactivity which can lead to sensitization and hyper-excitability of the central nervous system, excito-neurotoxicity, and increasingly profound neuroadaptions.

So there is no kindling unless you completely withdraw?
