Just wondering...
Well, from what gather, Trileptal is good for helping people through benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal. I wonder whether this drug would also be helpful for SSRI/SNRI withdrawal or drug sensitization. I guess what I'm getting at is, I wonder if Trileptal would help suppress the SSRI/SNRI sensitivity and allow you to get up to a higher dosage. Perhaps Klonopin has a place in these situations.
If I'm right about kindling, it would be critical to limit the severity or chronicity of a withdrawal syndrome and avoid chronic "pulsing" of drug dosages or rapid switching between drugs. I am hoping that anticovulsants would help to minimize the severity of withdrawal symptoms and prevent the kindling of future drug sensitivities.
