In a pair of articles in the National Post last week, Mikhaila Peterson said her dad, a controversial University of Toronto psychologist and author, is struggling with a severe dependence on benzodiazepines. Popular benzos are Xanax and Valium. The articles, based solely on Mikhaila’s account, outline a number of extreme circumstances and medical reactions that supposedly led Peterson to seek detox treatment in Russia… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepine >>Benzodiazepines (BZD, BDZ, BZs), colloquially called "benzos", are a class of depressant drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring. They are prescribed to treat conditions such as anxiety disorders, insomnia, and seizures. ... Benzodiazepines are generally viewed as safe and effective for short-term use—about two to four weeks[7]—although cognitive impairment and paradoxical effects such as aggression or behavioral disinhibition can occur. A minority of people have reactions after taking benzodiazepines such as worsened agitation or panic.[8] Benzodiazepines are associated with an increased risk of suicide due to aggression, impulsivity, and negative withdrawal effects.[9] Long-term use is controversial because of concerns about decreasing effectiveness, physical dependence, benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, and an increased risk of dementia and cancer.[10][11][12][13] The elderly are at an increased risk of both short- and long-term adverse effects,[14][15] and as a result, all benzodiazepines are listed in the Beers List of inappropriate medications for older adults.[16] https://www.dailydot.com/debug/jordan-peterson-rehab-klonopin-addiction/ >>Jordan Peterson is in rehab for Klonopin addiction Sep 20, 2019 Peterson’s daughter Mikhaila made the announcement on her YouTube channel yesterday. Her father twice tweeted a link to it, saying in one, “At least life isn’t dull.” She says that her mother’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgical complication created an unbearable amount of stress for the family, and particularly her father. A doctor prescribed clonazepam, or Klonopin, to help him cope with the anxiety it caused. Clonazepam is an anti-seizure medication that is also prescribed to treat panic disorder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonazepam >>Clonazepam, sold under the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril, is a medication used to prevent and treat seizures, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, and the movement disorder known as akathisia.[10] It is a tranquilizer of the benzodiazepine class. ... Common side effects include sleepiness, poor coordination, and agitation.[10] Long-term use may result in tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly.[10] Dependence occurs in one-third of people who take benzodiazepines for longer than four weeks.[9]
