EADD Benzo Discussion V. Waking up in a Wakefield skip

A youtube psych who's said a lot of stuff I completely disagree with (just based on my own subjective experience admitedly) has done a tier list of the worst meds to w/d from.

He's put Mirtazapine as kind of middling, I can forsee extreme and prolonged insomnia for sure, but as it doesnt do much of anything else for me, I cant see it causing many other w/d symptoms.

But this is also the guy who thinks SSRIs are worse to w/d from than clonazepam etc.

And he has also done a "guide" about how to w/d from xanax, without even mentioning the most obvious first step - switch to diazepam first. for the longer duration, and meaning less / no need to dose several times a day.

It seems he only speaks from book knowledge and has no idea about the practicalities of going through these things.

That's probably a bit harsh, he's probably looked at some research. It's just some of the things he comes out with really annoy me.

He's probably / hopefully right about Mirtazapine though. It's an antihistimine but also a atypical tetracyclic antidepressant. Not too sure what that means is terms of w/d profile tbh.

He also uses brand names instead of the drug name, so at least for myself I have to translate many of the brand names, as obviously in the UK we use the drug name, not the brand.


If the guy had any real clout he wouldn't be producing YouTube videos.
