The way the article is worded it makes it seem like ALL psych medicine is bad, which is the mo of the right, get people off the meds that make them stable and into RFK Jr’s “wellness farms”.
You can’t just say “yeah I fucked up taking benzos recreationally for years and now I’m paying the price”.
Nothing about the all meat diet or medically induced coma to attempt to skip benzo withdrawals huh
Nope, gotta blame the untermensch medication instead of owning up to being a dipshit who fucked up.
So much for personal responsibility!
Yep, you don’t fuck around with benzos. Take as prescribed or skill altogether.
Dr. Peterson has a well-documented history of medical struggles tied to his use of benzodiazepine medication.
“There are many testimonials written by people who have suffered from psych medication damage,” she told the Post. “The medical industry will have to face this evidence and take steps to protect the public from harm.”
Every single
PsychologistPsychiatrist will warn you about Benzos, will recommend against them, and even when they do prescribe them there is an entire plan to prevent this exact issue.But this bozo did benzos recreationally…
look these drugs might be addictive and physically and psychologically harmful and restricted for good reason but have you considered i might simply be built different? thought so
I am a lobster, you are not, you can’t tell me what to do. You probably just want to prevent me from getting big, meaty claws!
Only a psychiatrist can prescribe a pharmaceutical, not a psychologist, unless something changed since the last time I was in a psychologist’s office.
:bleh: DOH! you are correct
Psychologists and therapists typically learn psychopharmacology even though they don’t prescribe, because they work closely with psychiatrists and patients.
another realm of pain
me without my benzos
It’s easy, just take more ya dungus.

He thought he was numbing the pain all those years but he was just delaying the inevitable and now he gets to feel all of it at once
I can’t help but think of the episode of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 where Garak runs out of Obsidian Order anti-torture drugs
The chaos dragons are winning again!
Sort yourself out, bucko
Has he tried cleaning his room?
If I recall, the symptom she claimed he was suffering from (iirc akathesia) can happen from acute benzo withdrawals… which is what almost killed him when he went cold-turkey off of benzos because of him and his daughters disgust at the idea of taking more benzos to safely wean off of them
critical support to Peterson’s daughter for trying to kill him
These chuds are so clueless they probably thought weaning off the drugs is woke and what weak men do, or something
BTW Peterson wrote his PhD about alcoholism. Alcohol works on the same receptors as benzos and has the same problems in withdrawal. And he still decided he should be put in an artificial coma after having just recovered from pneumonia and withdraw benzos cold turkey. Absolute quack.
they heard weaning and thought it was bottom surgery
Sadly, this means we will never see his ‘falls in love with AI’ arc
Wishing him the worst
Goddammit I read “In another realm…” and got really excited for a second.
Hey now, at least he’s suffering
Didn’t think that was possible given how insufferable he is

Wait a second HIS WIFE IS ALIVE?!?!?! I thought he got on the benzos because she died. But it was just the diagnosis that sent him spiraling? lmao. Did have any hardships in his life? Also, was he ever on SSRIs? Because I think that would be the first medication for an otherwise healthy person that’s not adjusting well to a life event like that. Maybe he was scared of ssris and only trusts medicine if it was available in the 70s.
He got on benzos because she had cancer and that was taking attention away from him.
If I remember his deep lore, he got on an all meat diet and attributes that to panic attacks for which he was prescribed or found someone to get him on, presumably, Ativan. He says he had severe autoimmune response to all meat and drinking cider (he said if he drank cider hed be insomnic for days and days). Anyway, he only started the carnivore only diet thing because his daughter told him to. The same daughter that told him not to listen to his Canadian doctors recommending a benzo taper when he was interested and ready to come off of them, and to instead seek a medically induced coma to skip the frankly shitty feelings of withdrawing and have the taper done I guess without his conscious awareness. So they went to Serbia or Russia and of course its not without risks to do that, so his coma was very long.
His wife did have kidney cancer diagnosis in 2019 and this all happened around that time. But hes Peterson, and I guess he cant just accept he was not coping well with his spouses diagnosis and attributed what he was feeling as reactions to food…

And this same daughter will inherit everything in his will you say? Interesting.
Yeah she’s definitely trying to kill him.
The crank right thinks ssris are what make people snap and go on murder sprees, no joke.
Yeah, no joke, this is their plan to stop the mass shooter epidemic. Just eliminate SSRI prescriptions and the problem will magically disappear. What’s a gun control?
poppin that shit that takes u straight to the shadow realm 💊
couldn’t happen to a better guy
The good news we deserve
The problem is that his room isn’t clean. If he cleaned his room everything else would fall onto place including his health. His current state is his body rejecting the conditions it survives in.
That and eating nothing but the day old Wendy’s hamburger patties they deemed too gross to throw in the chilli
Good I’m glad to hear it. I want bad people to suffer. I am not the platonic ideal of a Buddhist monk. I think pain and suffering should come to those who put it on the innocent. I think it also has an effect as a deterrent in certain cases - like the amount of ghouls that grew a conscience out of fear of getting louigied.
Many people are saying it!
If I was a big bad evil guy controlling the world, the very first thing Id do is convince people
- To turn the other cheek
- Fighting back makes you just as bad as me
- Punishing me is bad actually
