BREAKING ! XANAX WARNING "He nearly DIED several times:’ controversial academic JORDAN PETERSON seeks to recover from addiction
[link to www.thestar.com (secure)]

Less than 50%

"Mikhaila Peterson recorded a two-minute and 50-second YouTube video outlining how her father, Jordan Peterson, became addicted to prescribed psychoactive drugs, developed a physical dependency to them, almost died, contracted pneumonia, flew to Russia to seek different treatment after several visits to North American hospitals, reportedly went into an induced coma, and, finally, as of Feb. 7, 2020, is in recovery."



Same thing happened to ME
Xanax is EVIL

I was switched from clonazepam.(which was great and fine in small doses) to xanax and immediately I noticed (unlike klonopin lasts 24 hrs )
It lasted like 5 hrs

Then the back end is your anxiety becomes 10x worse than before u took xanax .. and this bipolar effect after even a few weeks made me feel suicidal!

No joke

I only smoke weed now

Period

I hope hes ok

IS LYING A SIDE EFFECT OF KLONOPIN?

BECAUSE HE TOLD SOME WHOPPERS RIGHT BEFORE HE LEFT THE RESERVATION.

AND WHY DID HID DEAD EYED DAUGHTER GIVE AN UPDATE IN HER UNDIES? THAT WAS WEIRD.

I love JP.

His book order from chaos is phenomenal.

Very very sad to hear of mental problems

Does not really surprise me as his brain operates at warp speed.

Hate he had a sick wife and tried to slow his processing speed in order to sleep.

Not sure Russians have the answer but hope he is better soon.

If you have never heard his podcasts they are very much worth listening to.

Re: BREAKING ! XANAX WARNING "He nearly DIED several times:’ controversial academic JORDAN PETERSON seeks to recover from addiction
I was a big fan till i watched a show of his life where they followed him inside and outside his home. It was the inside that was disturbing beyond belief. Every wall of his study and also the hallway leading in were covered with famous paintings of Carl Marx and Lenin! I think i may have seen one of Stalin too! Knowing people would be shocked he tried to negate the shock but giving a silly story about when his daughter was young she was in a store and saw a 50% off stuffed doll of Marx, thought it was funny and gave it to him?! Lame, to say the least!

It would seem its all fake, every bit, disturbing, but there it is, plastered all over the walls, Jordan Petersen is a Marxist!

Here’s an idea GLP, why don’t we focus on the fact that benzodiazepines will mess you up. How do I know? Because my 21-year-old son is recovering from two years of being prescribed this god forsaken medication and my family and I never were prepared for what we have been dealing with for the past 15 months!

Re: BREAKING ! XANAX WARNING "He nearly DIED several times:’ controversial academic JORDAN PETERSON seeks to recover from addiction
Two decades ago, I took xanax for a few months when I was struggling with panic attack. After I prevailed against the panic attack, I stop taking xanax altogether. No addiction, no withdrawal. So, I don't understand how come many are addicted to it and stopping it causes such a hellish withdrawal.

I remember, while I was dependent on xanax, I was very determined to ditch it in the future cause I thought at that time I didn't want to depend on it my whole life. So when I managed to stop my panic attack without xanax, I ditched it once and for all and never look back.

Once you understand the mechanism of panic attack that you cause it yourself, you're enlightened and can face it without fear. When you face the panic attack without fear, it just went away almost instantly. It's mostly mental, and now that I know, in my case, has something to do with dehydration also. As the panic attack stopped and never come again, I felt no need to keep xanax all the time. In the end I threw it away, all the pills. So, never experience any addiction or withdrawal.

There's a neurologist out in Cali who has been warning about this benzo withdrawal thing.

Once you start, it takes more and more to manage your mental state and you can't get off it or it literally kills you.

There's like entire support networks now of people managing their health as they microdose their way to being off these drugs.

Thanks for the kind words! He was prescribed Ativan but then was placed on Klonopin for about (1) year during his freshman/sophomore year of college. His dosages fluctuated before he became frustrated and decided to stop taking the medication. By that time my wife and I where trying desperately to get a grip on what was going on with him. The situation spiraled out of control and we found ourselves in the local ER because he became suicidal. After spending 3-weeks in a medical detox facility near Philadelphia he returned home. Again, no one explained to my wife or I the severity of Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms caused by cold turkey of Benzos. My son was always a good kid, easy going and highly intelligent. I witnessed uncontrollable rage to where we had to call the police to help calm him down. I was not impressed with any of the medical or drug rehab facilities during this ordeal. They where either uneducated in dealing with Benzo withdrawal or simply overwhelmed.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3634323


Drugs can be beneficial sometimes taken properly but some can be quite dangerous, such has it always been and will be. In the case of Jordan Peterson, which is the subject component of this thread, only he and those close to him know how and why his addiction manifested. It matters because he presents himself voluntarily or involuntarily as a world guru which can be a danger if the man is something quite different than how he is perceived. Fleeing to Russia to help him, to straighten him out, for solace, tells you volumes of unspoken words of his true ideology.
