Limbic Kindling -- Hardwiring the brain for hypersensitivity


GiaK

Recommended Posts

I was kindled with reinstatement for 5 months, bed ridden and force fed. Does that mean I'll never heal from such a long exposure and because of how bed ridden I was. I could eat or drink or speak, the doctors kept moving my dose up telling me this what happens when you stop, but I new I felt poisoned. Seems like people who get kindled, don't really heal ????

8 years lexapro.

July-September 5mg

Sep-October alternate days (kindled) anxiety returned

November-march reinstatement (adverse reaction) bed ridden for 5 months.

Stopped April, felt I had no choice, felt poisoned.

27 years old, mummy of 3.

you can heal. I was bedridden for over 2 years and nonverbal for a couple as well.  I couldn't leave the house much for about 5 years. We all heal...on our own timetables in our own ways. Most of us get "kindled" and most of us think we'll never heal and we all do...how we do it varies greatly.

Hi Jamieandlexapro, I am sorry that you are feeling so discouraged. Do you mind my asking what you read that said people who have experienced kindling don't heal? I am going through this as well, I think. Thanks for any information.

Super interesting, I really think that it is the case for a lot of this that we get stuck on fight or flight and that leads to a lot of the symptoms. I think it is important to encourage the body to calm down but that is so hard to achieve at times.

Thankfully, we improve with time DESPITE setbacks.

December 2021 - Metoclopramide started. Akathisia symptoms start; Metoclopramide gets changed to PRN.

March 2022 - Akathisia diagnosed; Metoclopramide stopped; Propranolol 10mg x twice a day. Biperiden PRN (0.5mg to 1mg).

April 2022 - Tandospirone 30mg (10mg 3x day), Quetiapine 25mg (only taken once, immediate adr). Mirtazapine 7.5mg. . Discontinued Propranolol.

May 2022 - Mirtazapine upped to 15mg. Tandospirone cut to 2x 10mg. Low dose Depakote for the month; 100 to 200 to 100 to 0. Mirtazapine cut back to 11.75mg (3/4 of a 15mg pill).
June 2022 - Mirtazapine updose to 15mg. Tandospirone, Biperiden discontinued. Klonopin started PRN (0.5mg). 
September 2022 - Akathisia slowly starts improving, WD/ADR normal sets in in mid September. Hold for 4 months.
March 2023 - Off mirtazapine; no Klonopin for 5 months either! Started quercetin (250mg x 2) to soften the histamine rebound.

May 2023 - Stopped quercetin and changed from magnesium carbonate to oxide - reacted badly. Reverted back to carbonate. 
June 2023 - Added fish oil.
Current regimen: CALM Magnesium (Carbonate into Citrate) 175mg x2; Vitamin E 268mg x2; Fish oil (100mg Omega3; EPA 30mg; DHA 37mg)x2
