[Pa...] Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I think the theory of kindling applies perfectly to this question, I don't feel it's a matter of your brain getting weaker. https://www.benzoinfo.com/kindling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Pamster Do you think you have to come right off to be kindled or just up and down? I have been up and down on lorazapam and on diazepam but never properly off. Also I wish we could here from more people who have taken or stopped hormones while on taper.

[Mi...] Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thank you Have you any ideas why each time I make a reduction - even really small - it takes about 5 weeks to stabilise. Meanwhile I go through some really awful symptoms and cannot function in any way normally? My partner is saying it might not be the meds and could be hrt progesterone. I just dont know anymore....
