Why do you think that none of the benzo "experts" such as Ashton, Peart, or Ray Nimmo talk about kindling, and/or promote the use of anticonvulsants (although Ashton had said that Gabitril might be promising for it's anti anxiety and sleep properties)?
But the published medical studies I've read on kindling, and your theory, make a lot of sense to me, and seem to be accurate.
It would basically be heresy to promote or advocate the use of another medication on a benzo forum to get off a benzo.
That adding any med to an already damaged and compromised CNS would only further hurt it.Some will kick you off if you talk about using a med, or even a vitamin/supplement/herb to assist in coming off of them.
Most are pretty fringe groups/forums it seems, and are extremely anti-psychiatry.
So it's tough to know who to believe. My doc thought that if I was having such a hard time coming down and off, that it would be worth a shot.
