In reply to Kindling?, posted by SLS on February 20, 2005, at 7:11:30
The kindling process is often referred to in epilepsy and bipolar disorder. I have never heard a satisfactory explanation of the kindling mechanism, so it would be hard for me to speculate the same or a similar process is occuring during withdrawal. Kindling seems to involve a surplus of brain activity and withdrawal is a state of defecit in the brain.
