Lol Jordans not addicted to benzos he's addicted to opiods

why do you assume XOR? they hit different chemical receptors and combining them at recreational doses is a reliable way to get dead (commendable goal, if that's your thing) but you can totally get down on benzos while numbing yourself to oblivion on painkillers.

Yes. Five loving years. I used to fall asleep in random places and would frequently sleep 36 hours. I would complain to the doc occasionally and she would say "hmmm sounds like you're having panic attacks. Let's add .5mg per day and see how it goes" and I wasnt really able to push back on it because I was so muddled all the time. She ended up losing her license after giving some kid so much risperdal that he developed severe tardive dyskinesia. That ended about 15 years ago and I barely remember any of it. It took years to recover from it and even to this day I can tell my memory is still a bit degraded in general

At the worst point it was a 3mg XR every day plus however many 0.5mg ones I would take per day on top of it. I realize other people get a lot higher than that but to be that way for years was a mindfuck. Literally

The funniest thing about Jorps daughter is that she pretty transparently wants to get in on the grift but can't actually take her dad's place because his fans would never listen to a woman.

Working in a detox for the better part of 10 years and I've seen some bad detoxes but never anything like that. Though I work at an inner city one in a low income area so its probably a bit different then the pampered comfort the expensive places try to do, which is what I'm guessing jorp went through. Usual protocol is phenobarbital for 10 days then monitor in a clinical setting. The bad cases get tegretol after the pheno is done.

My guess is Peterson couldnt actually handle the detox and shopped around until he found some shady Russian clinic that promised to knock him out for the entire detox and now he has brain damage

Also reminder that he specialized in addiction treatment and said he didn't know benzos were addictive

Holy poo poo he's blaming sulphites? That's gout. And it's more likely to be caused by things like cold cuts or mass produced beers than anything else. It's entirely likely that his carnivore diet is specifically to blame for physical ailments that he's self-medicating with benzos.

Just to be clear, not only did Jorp specialize in addiction, he was an extremely respected researcher on it. It’s what made him. He was mentored by the father of modern addiction therapy and their work back in the 80s and early 90s is still cited today. This is why he got on Canadian TV shows originally and made tenure.

I’m saying this because I need you all to be on the same page with me here. Jorp, early on in his career, was a major influence on modern addiction therapy. The therapy that he was probably given when suffering from addiction that he refused. This is too poetic.

Also, one of the issues his daughter mention was that he was have uncontrollable body anxiety and inability to sit still which has been known to happen when you have been mis-prescribed benzos.... and eat nothing but meat. Furthermore, being put in a medically induced coma for benzo addiction is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. He definitely got brain damage while being in a coma because of either a stroke or seizure and probably wasn’t noticed because he was on a goddamn coma.

So not only is this brain injury entirely his own making, he literally did the research that would’ve saved him and he refused it. That’s next level :psyduck:

From his daughter's description of the treatment in the article I'm guessing that he might've been somewhat mentally disabled by his addiction and she ended up making treatment decisions. It sounds like she wanted to try something stupid like knocking him out and then just letting the withdrawal happen while he was zonked. The American doctors told her that was stupid so she hosed off to Russia where some shady clinic tried her idiot idea and ended up crippling Jorp.

the reality is jorp spiraled into addiction and depression because he was so thoroughly and publicly owned by a marxist philosopher he couldnt live with himself any more, and then he had to go be saved by a doctor who was educated in communist medicine in the Soviet Union. if he survives his only way to maintain sanity will be to become a full fledged tankie.

(kermit the frog voice) the truth of the matter is, that issues of race or transgenderism, are merely a distraction, from the class war. for a positive example, we should look towards the People's Republic,
