I actually the problem -- for some -- may be a type of bronchial inflammation, as part of rebound or withdrawal from a stimulant. That's what asthma is, broncial inflammation. And stims are broncho-dilators, formerly used to treat asthma.
So when the body undergoes a chemical withdrawal and/or rebound, the rebound response is exacerbated.
For example, the rebound vasodiation can also, for me, cause terrible nasal tissue inflammation, eg, sinus inflammation.
I hate this about stims. For me, the problem can being even before rebound, and get worse and worse, as the body seems to to develop tolerance and needs more of the drug to regulate its own normal processes.
I also mentioned this to my docs, and both, one an internist, the other a psych, said they'd never heard of it.
But geez, it doesn't take a genius to understand that broncchial inflammation, eg, asthma, could be an exacerbated effect ofc rebound or tolerance.
