Unfortunately, my depression isn't really any better. Parnate helps give me more mental energy to work with, but not a hell of a lot. It probably shows though.My enthusiasm comes from the potential that exists with PB to tackle such a pervasive problem like drug discontinuation withdrawal syndromes. I don't think it is asking too much for people to quickly list along the same thread what strategies have worked for them. It would be immensely helpful.
Another thing that has me excited is that I believe I have identified an important concept to explain the phenomenology of the withdrawal syndrome. Kindling. To recognize this and use it to our advantage in proposing strategies to more easily discontinue drugs like Paxil, Effexor, and benzodiazepines might be a real breakthrough. Wishful thinking, perhaps.
