In this episode of The Hanley Effect, hosts Dr. John Dyben and Dr. Rachel Docekal sit down with medical researcher, author, and podcaster D E Foster, founder of the online support community Uneven Life and host of the Benzo Free and Uneven podcasts.
After taking clonazepam (Klonopin) for 12 years as prescribed, D E Foster found himself facing debilitating symptoms from what is now called Benzodiazepine-Induced Neurological Dysfunction (BIND), a condition he later co-identified in groundbreaking research. He shares his personal journey of loss, recovery, and advocacy, as well as his ongoing work to educate medical professionals and support thousands of individuals affected by benzodiazepine dependence.
Together, John, Rachel, and D E discuss:
- The difference between physical dependence and addiction, and why it matters.
- The signs, symptoms, and realities of BIND and it's neurological effects.
- Why benzodiazepines remain a “hidden epidemic” in addiction and behavioral health.
- How stigma, misunderstanding, and a lack of education impact patient care.
- Strategies for safer tapering, support, and community-based recovery.
- What families, friends, and caregivers can do to believe, support, and empower their loved ones.
This episode is a must-listen for clinicians, family members, and anyone interested in understanding the complex world of benzodiazepines and the hope of healing from long-term use.
