You have to get the root powder. They have it at some smoke shops sometimes and weird natural grocery stores. If not you might have to order it online. I think you can get the pills at whole foods or any supplement store, but you need to take so many of them its not really worth it.

You have to go to a shrink for that though. Plus you get so dependent on the pills, start to feel anxious and on-the-edge when you don't have them, and it's a pain to get off them. I agree they are 180 though, so perhaps it's still worth it.

he wanted to get off it but no one in the USA would help him because once you're locked in there's no real protocol for getting off. so he spent eight days in a medically induced coma in Russia to avoid the withdrawls

They treat it in the US at standard detox centers and psych hospitals with barbiturates for 5 days, but it still sucks because the psychological and neurological symptoms last way longer than the life threatening ones. People go to foreign clinics to detox under anesthesia because they are fucking pussies. Also I heard they fucked up the procedure and he got brain damage and had to spend months relearning how to walk. Actually just reread it apparently they didn't really fuck it up, but he got a serious infection while under (bacterial pneumonia) and he got brain damage due to the hypoxia.

GPT is trying to say the medical documentation from russia doesn't document him having any kind of stroke or hypoxic brain injury. I don't believe that though. Who the fuck has to relearn to walk for weeks from benzo withdrawal plus 3 days of anesthesia? Noone. Even cases where someone has a minor stroke + pneumonia and a few days of medicaly induced coma are walking later that day post-intubation. They definitely fucked something up.

Benzo withdrawal blows but it doesn't cause you to forget how to walk. It's mostly just really exaggerated anxiety, terror, dread and restlessness that lasts for weeks.

OK read it. I still don't think it can cause neurological damage on par with a traumatic brain injury or something requiring you to need to relearn to walk. Benzo withdrawal can be extremely fucked up for sure and there can definitely be prolonged neurological symptoms like perceptual disturbances, akathisia, RLS, and other motor disturbances. But that's not as bad has having to relearn to walk. Another possibility is that Peterson and his family are lying histrionic faggots.
