For what it's worth, years ago I took Effexor with Dexedrine. When I started withdrawing from Effexor, I found that taking the Dexedrine (30-40mg at a time) eliminated all withdrawal symptoms from the Effexor.

I think kindling is relevant to withdrawal from benzodiazepines but not antidepressants. I had a pdoc tell me once that withdrawal from benzos was WORSE than barbiturates because seizures can occur up to 14 days after detoxification, which is unheard of with barbiturates. Antidepressants lower the seizure threshold (while benzos obviously raise it), so I would think that kindling upon withdrawal would be a nonissue, no? If you want I can ask a pharmacologist.
