🚨 “This Is a National Emergency” – Featuring Brandon Lawes

What happens when a prescribed medication causes a life-threatening reaction, but no one recognizes it?

In this powerful episode of Akathisia Stories, independent natural health researcher and YouTube creator Brandon Lawes shares his harrowing experience with medication-induced akathisia and neurological injury following a prescription for Ativan (lorazepam).

Brandon describes:
🔹 Severe akathisia and extreme inner restlessness
🔹 Repeated misdiagnosis as “bipolar” and “schizophrenic”
🔹 Years of being told his symptoms were “all in his head”
🔹 The devastating consequences of unrecognized drug-induced harm
🔹 How CYP450 metabolism issues and drug-drug interactions contributed to his suffering
🔹 The role of patient advocacy and forensic pharmacology in uncovering the truth

As Brandon explains, akathisia is not a rare curiosity—it is a public health issue that can lead to suicide, self-harm, violence, and profound suffering when left unrecognized.

🎧 Join host Ivan Kaiser as he and Brandon discuss akathisia, benzodiazepines, pharmacogenomics, complex chronic illness, and why independent, non-pharma-funded education is essential to protecting patients.
