I just spent the last two years detoxing from Benzo’s specifically I was detoxing from Klonopin. I’m noticing a trend and it seems as though Benzo’s will be the next crisis. I just wanted to share this video and links for those that need help. It’s also reassuring more people are starting to move forward with their stories.
This video discussion was previously released (June 30th, 2020) on my daughter Mikhaila’s YouTube channel and podcast (https://www.youtube.com/c/MikhailaPet…).
Since it is World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day (July 11th), and in light of the seriousness of the public health-related information it contains, I have decided to also release it here.
