Post-withdrawal nervous system hypersensitivity, hyper-reactivity and kindling


[Ha...]

Recommended Posts

I've taken this from https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/8095-post-withdrawal-nervous-system-hypersensitivity-hyper-reactivity-and-kindling/?tab=comments#comment-4053, just thought I'd share it as see a lot of discussion about the sensitizes nervous system and kindling

 

 

"Going on and off drugs and taking doses inconsistently can cause nervous system destabilization and hypersensitivity. This predispose someone to kindling, an adverse reaction when increasing the dosage or taking another drug, even a drug that caused no problems before.

 

 

 

The hypersensitivity common in nervous system destabiization underlies kindling.
