A comment on Jordan Peterson's akathisia cure

A comment on Jordan Peterson's cure from severe, protracted akathisia:

"The thing about the Peterson case is they don't claim any med healed him, only diet and avoiding the vast majority of medications and tapering off the rest he was on, and eventually all of them. 

The specific opioid he used (hydrocodone) was as an effective bridging measure to enable him to taper off all other medications, particularly benzodiazepines, without a huge akathisia flare up and then he successfully tapered off it last.

It was a near miraculous recovery, after 3 years of torture and meeting with doctors from across the world who were unable to help.

Now, within a short space of time he is functional again."
