>Without getting too technical, withdrawal seems to be due, in part, to kindling. AEDs (anticonvulsants) would be a logical choice if this were true.
I am doubtful about the kindling theory, I suppose because it upsets the nice mathematical feel of so much pleasure given having to be paid back with precisely the same amount of pain. But you should see me stacking the dishwasher, so that's probably an OCD variant.
Nonetheless I know that gabapentin would be really useful in opiate withdrawal, just as it is so helpful for pain.
