Addiction expert testifies in MJ trial today

Addiction expert Dr. Robert Waldman is testifying about benzo wd symptoms right now in the Michael Jackson trial.  He said the wd symptoms are diarrhea, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, muscle pain and, in some cases, seizures.  If you missed it, I am sure it will show up on youtube.

 

I hope he listed way more than just those. And the ungodly amount of time it takes to heal after stopping this poison.

 

 

I was just going to post this.  What was interesting was that the defense was trying to blame another doctor for addicting MJ to painkillers and that the insomnia he was treating him for was directly linked to the painkiller withdrawal.  Then the prosecution turned it around and questioned the witness who confirmed that the withdrawal for two benzos Jackson was on also included insomnia.

 

Here is the link to the AP article, and the part about the benzos it at the end:
