re: Jordan Peterson detoxing in hospital for Benzo dependancy

He went to Russia because he failed to detox before and wanted to be put under (induced coma) to bypass the withdrawals. It's not allowed in the US because its terribly risky as benzo withdrawl needs a real slow taper. He apparently (again, I read this on some other forums so not 100%) had multiple seizures under sedation and don't know how bad the damage really is. It was their last hope from what I've heard.

I took klonopin as prescribed for a few months not knowing the dangers. Getting off of it was fricking terrible and needless to say I have a new doctor now. Partly my fault as I should have done research on benzos first.
