00:00:02

the doctors who followed me did

00:00:05

not tell me what tolerance was, did

00:00:08

not explain to me what

00:00:10

dependence was and especially did not

00:00:12

explain to me that getting out of this state

00:00:17

required extremely withdrawal.

00:00:20

difficult do you know people who

00:00:22

take pills to calm down or

00:00:24

even pills to sleep it's

00:00:26

so widespread that it has become

00:00:28

almost commonplace

00:00:37

but actually it's not that commonplace it's

00:00:40

a pain it's torture waking up at

00:00:45

bedtime you just can't calm down

00:00:49

no way to calm down we're going to

00:00:51

dive into the fight of those who

00:00:54

try to wean themselves off the binzau Diaz

00:00:57

thorns and some lose this fight

00:01:01

François it's as if his brain

00:01:02

is it's like quietly it's

00:01:05

completely modified here Marie my Denis

00:01:07

welcome to

00:01:11

[Music]

00:01:17

investigation it all started because of

00:01:22

my Harre of work I work

00:01:25

bodies of work which alternate day and

00:01:27

night of 12 hours that my sleep is not

00:01:30

always the

00:01:37

best I had difficulty sleeping

00:01:40

following a separation that I had, it was

00:01:42

very anxiety-provoking times obviously

00:01:44

there are many repercussions on his life

00:01:46

for the children so I thought of going to

00:01:49

see my doctor to tell him about it

00:01:50

of this difficulty

00:01:53

the only reason I was

00:01:56

prescribed it was to help me

00:01:59

get more sleep it was a

00:02:02

prescription renewable every

00:02:04

month there was no warning about

00:02:07

the long term dangers dangers

00:02:10

do not interrupt the

00:02:13

treatment it is extraordinary at

00:02:17

first because it makes you

00:02:19

sleep

00:02:22

instantly more as it progressed I

00:02:25

needed it every evening after 3 to 4 months

00:02:29

of taking azepine the effects

00:02:31

dissipate even the significant symptoms

00:02:34

I am much more worried

00:02:38

during the day about very

00:02:41

mundane matters. It's a torture. Sleep

00:02:44

when we don't have it's a real

00:02:47

torture. My partner and I made a

00:02:50

correlation that it was since the

00:02:53

medication that I decided

00:02:58

to stop,

00:03:01

that's when my my world was

00:03:04

completely

00:03:06

turned upside down, don't tell me that the medicine

00:03:09

I carry in my back pocket ok

00:03:12

to help me like

00:03:15

medical assistance to a brain that I believe to be

00:03:17

insomniac is in fact the very cause of

00:03:20

my

00:03:21

insomnia it lasted for months and months and

00:03:24

months it's an I can just

00:03:27

describe it as an

00:03:35

extreme the degree of despair the degree

00:03:39

of helplessness the degree of incomprehension

00:03:43

the faet that but I I'm stuck with a

00:03:45

condition that no one has addressed

00:03:48

and that no one can help me I can't

00:03:50

go to the emergency room we don't know how to

00:03:53

treat this this

00:03:58

condition

00:03:59

[Music]

00:04:09

[Music]

00:04:14

depression anxiety

00:04:16

psychological distress and the new illness of the

00:04:21

century stress fear anxiety

00:04:24

distress more and more people

00:04:26

are affected of all ages and from

00:04:28

all backgrounds

00:04:31

[Music]

00:04:35

stress and anxiety a fleo and

00:04:37

insomnia which often gets

00:04:39

involved the solutions to remedy this

00:04:42

are

00:04:43

multiple but we can also find a

00:04:46

doctor who will provide us with a prescription

00:04:48

for anxiolitic or sleeping pill

00:04:50

medications in the bzau

00:04:52

diazpine family and the effect is

00:04:58

immediate the problem is that it creates

00:05:01

a strong addiction patients who

00:05:02

take them become tolerant and they

00:05:04

need to take

00:05:06

more they are dangerous drugs

00:05:09

that should never be prescribed

00:05:10

long

00:05:12

term yet data shows

00:05:14

that Contin continues to be prescribed

00:05:16

for months or even years in

00:05:18

Canada it is approximately one in 10 people

00:05:21

who have a prescription in their file the

00:05:25

overuse of sleeping pills then

00:05:28

anxiolitics a public health crisis

00:05:32

this story came to us

00:05:34

through confidences from people

00:05:36

who said they suffered because of

00:05:38

medications that they had taken as

00:05:40

prescribed their story was disturbing

00:05:43

hi pierre it's

00:05:44

okay it's okay it's okay it's a good

00:05:48

time I'm Pierre I'm an engineer

00:05:52

by training I've been taking binzau for as

00:05:55

long as I remember the last 17

00:05:58

years

00:06:00

so at what point did you

00:06:02

notice ok it doesn't work anymore these pules

00:06:05

it's mainly the fact that I was

00:06:09

never able to get back to sleep

00:06:13

I was extremely rigorous in

00:06:16

never ever exceeding the dose which I

00:06:19

was prescribed by the doctor I

00:06:21

even made it a point to cut it in

00:06:24

half to cut it to a third ok but

00:06:27

what I didn't know was that

00:06:29

this action only increased the

00:06:32

tolerance phenomenon my body

00:06:34

asked me for other other drugs

00:06:37

other binzaux diazepine and I

00:06:39

interpreted that as ah you haven't solved

00:06:42

the problems you haven't had a

00:06:45

calm enough day for your

00:06:48

insomniac brain to sleep

00:06:51

tonight that's it is my daughter he says hi dad

00:06:55

so for the year 2009 I sincerely wish you

00:06:58

sleep in point

00:07:00

number 1 in very big work because

00:07:02

it affected him I often lost

00:07:04

my job probably because of

00:07:07

I was not able to function

00:07:09

as well as I would have

00:07:10

[Music]

00:07:14

wanted and there I made a radical choice

00:07:16

because when you sleep you don't have to find

00:07:19

solutions I know my job as an

00:07:21

engineer I left everything I wanted

00:07:24

I handed in my

00:07:25

resignation I sold my house I

00:07:29

completely changed my life I

00:07:31

removed myself from the sources of anxiety in

00:07:34

order to regain sleep to

00:07:38

regain

00:07:41

health the doctors who followed me did

00:07:45

not tell me that what was tolerance? They did

00:07:47

n't explain to me what

00:07:50

dependence was and especially didn't

00:07:52

explain to me that getting out of this state

00:07:56

required extremely

00:07:59

difficult withdrawal. Seriously, it's

00:08:01

rage that I have. had because if only

00:08:04

someone had

00:08:10

told me we wanted to understand in what

00:08:12

context we prescribe these drugs and

00:08:15

what drug are we talking about exactly

00:08:17

we turned to two experts who

00:08:19

are familiar with bzau diazepine

00:08:21

it is a class of medication used

00:08:23

in psychiatry also in neurology which

00:08:26

put the neuron to sleep in a

00:08:29

way it makes it less

00:08:34

reactive the drug among the

00:08:36

pinsosazepine which is the most prescribed

00:08:38

is called laorazepam also as an

00:08:41

original

00:08:43

attractive name we could also include

00:08:46

rivotril xanax also known as

00:08:49

alprasolam or valium

00:08:52

diazepan we sometimes prescribe them for

00:08:54

example in procedural sedation to give

00:08:56

someone that we have to reduce a

00:08:57

fracture things like that we will

00:08:59

use them in the hospital or even in the clinic

00:09:01

to support patients in their

00:09:03

withdrawal from certain substances on

00:09:05

the other hand are also used a lot to

00:09:07

treat anxiety and insomnia it will

00:09:09

really be indicated for the short

00:09:11

term we are in the spectrum of less than

00:09:14

a month or months like a context of

00:09:16

mourning a context of separation we can

00:09:18

consider lots of contexts where over

00:09:19

short periods of time it can be reasonable

00:09:22

where it is problematic it is the chronic use

00:09:24

[Music]

00:09:26

it is a significant proportion

00:09:29

of people who will have to

00:09:30

have a back escalation it becomes

00:09:32

very difficult to stop because

00:09:34

a tolerance he has a dependence which

00:09:36

develops on this medication

00:09:39

there during the first prescription I was

00:09:44

not informed of a time limit not

00:09:48

to take more than time per day but for me

00:09:50

it was as needed then they told me just

00:09:52

asked to come back if ever my

00:09:54

prescription was expired what you

00:09:57

did is what I did for

00:09:59

several

00:10:05

years to understand why

00:10:07

Bainzeaux Desépines became so

00:10:09

popular you have to go back in

00:10:19

history les Pau of azepin were

00:10:22

discovered in the 1950s they

00:10:24

were invented to respond to

00:10:26

another crisis which was that of

00:10:28

the use of barbiturates

00:10:30

barbiturates had enormous

00:10:32

risks including

00:10:33

respiratory depression which could lead to death

00:10:36

barbiturates are one of the agents to the

00:10:38

cause of the death of Elvis Presley mareline

00:10:41

my Jimmy Hendrix so we developed

00:10:44

the bauépin saying we are going to develop

00:10:45

safer agents which will

00:10:48

help treat anxiety and insomnia

00:10:50

without generating tolerance without

00:10:53

generating

00:10:56

dependence these drugs also

00:10:59

was sold a lot to women we

00:11:01

used it as an agent to calm

00:11:04

the anxiety of

00:11:27

household [Music] [Music]

00:11:32

and it is from the late 70s

00:11:34

early 80s that we see oh ok maybe

00:11:37

more risk than 'we thought with

00:11:39

cesépin the raising of many little

00:11:43

flags to say be careful perhaps

00:11:44

that we should not prescribe them as much

00:11:45

as we

00:11:47

do American doctors will

00:11:50

soon be officially warned not to

00:11:52

prescribe valium to their clients for

00:11:54

more reasons or less

00:11:57

valid

00:12:00

first there are the Barb turiques when

00:12:02

these drugs prove fatal we create

00:12:04

the benzod diazepines but these molecules

00:12:07

also lead to

00:12:09

[Music]

00:12:10

dependence the pharmaceutical industry

00:12:12

then does it again by manufacturing a

00:12:14

new range of products to treat

00:12:16

the insomnia by still affirming that it

00:12:18

will be safer the

00:12:21

Z hypnotics the most prescribed would be limovane or

00:12:25

zopiclon we also have a molecule which is

00:12:28

very prescribed called sublinox also

00:12:30

known as generic name

00:12:34

zolpidem hindsight shows us that we

00:12:36

fell into the same trap a second

00:12:37

time that they are probably just

00:12:39

as or almost as addictive as

00:12:42

benzouazepine Quebec is among the

00:12:44

Canadian champions in terms of

00:12:45

prescription of binzau d'azepine and

00:12:47

Z-hypnotic in 2022 11% of the

00:12:51

population has had at least one

00:12:53

prescription we have quite outrageous rates

00:12:56

among the 71 included so more than one

00:12:59

person is sure that the rates of use

00:13:01

among women are almost double

00:13:03

that of the rates of use of men

00:13:05

ah wow what we observe is that there is

00:13:08

a vast majority of people who

00:13:09

use these medications for

00:13:11

several months or even

00:13:13

[Music]

00:13:15

years yet the recommendations are

00:13:18

clear it is not recommended to take

00:13:20

these medications long term for those

00:13:22

aged 65 and over. taking binzau diazepine

00:13:25

would increase the risk of falling and

00:13:26

fracture and even dem

00:13:29

the consumption of tranquilizers and

00:13:31

sleeping pills in the long term would increase the

00:13:34

risk of causing Alzheimer's disease

00:13:36

Z-hypnotics have sometimes been

00:13:38

pointed out as being one of the

00:13:40

possible causes of

00:13:42

car accident it lasted beyond 35 years if

00:13:47

I would have known if the doctor would have told me

00:13:49

well you should have taken these pules there

00:13:52

for a certain time to reduce

00:13:54

anxiety or something like that I would have

00:13:56

done but I had no no

00:13:59

education you took 35 years every

00:14:03

day every

00:14:08

day after the break when the desperation

00:14:11

becomes

00:14:13

extreme I even gave the keys to

00:14:16

my my safe for my hunting rifles

00:14:20

because I was at this

00:14:26

point as you saw sleeping pills and

00:14:29

anxiolitics can cause

00:14:31

serious side effects so

00:14:34

do doctors prescribe too many or

00:14:36

for too long

00:14:39

[Music]

00:14:44

period in 2018 Jérémy

00:14:47

abruptly stopped taking the ativant that

00:14:49

he had been prescribed to sleep he said

00:14:52

that no health professional

00:14:54

had warned him that it could be

00:14:55

dangerous to stop taking a

00:14:57

daily diazepine in Lain

00:15:01

my name is Jérémy Morin I am

00:15:03

an operator at the potablewa treatment plant

00:15:06

I know it's not ready

00:15:09

for everyone there are some who have

00:15:11

landed they have no problem but it

00:15:15

still has a good

00:15:16

percentage that's really it's

00:15:19

a

00:15:20

hell

00:15:23

it's

00:15:25

torture from waking up to going to bed

00:15:30

[Music]

00:15:32

you just can't calm down no way

00:15:34

to

00:15:39

calm down it's especially at night that

00:15:45

it was

00:15:48

unbearable to function going to

00:15:52

work going to work driving

00:15:55

after

00:15:57

72 hours without sleep

00:16:00

uh you're just not afraid of having an

00:16:03

accident all the time

00:16:05

[Music]

00:16:09

what was it like for your partner

00:16:12

to see you like

00:16:14

that uh very difficult uh didn't know

00:16:18

what to do

00:16:20

uhh that's if it wasn't d 'it is

00:16:25

certain that I will be able to I had

00:16:28

I had even given the keys to my

00:16:31

my trunk for my hunting rifle

00:16:34

because I reached this point that I no

00:16:39

longer knew what to do

00:16:42

to get rid of these feelings

00:16:46

[Music]

00:16:49

there I saw three

00:16:51

doctors then in 2 minutes it was the

00:16:56

same same answer

00:16:59

your anxiety is there it can't

00:17:03

be your withdrawal from benzos it's been at least

00:17:05

weeks you don't take it anymore it's

00:17:08

out of your body then you have

00:17:11

reached where you need to you are taking

00:17:13

antidepressants for your

00:17:20

anxiety do Canadian doctors

00:17:22

exercise caution in their

00:17:24

prescriptions and their supervision of

00:17:25

binzau d'

00:17:27

épine they do not measure the risk of

00:17:29

psychological dependence when their

00:17:31

patients start taking their

00:17:33

medication professor emeritus at

00:17:35

the University of British Columbia,

00:17:37

doctor Jim Wright spent his career

00:17:39

identifying the shortcomings of his colleagues

00:17:42

and denouncing the overprescription of his

00:17:44

medications in the

00:17:46

country. I became known because

00:17:48

I helped people wean themselves off benzos

00:17:52

diazpin I was receiving more and more

00:17:55

referrals and people were coming to me

00:17:57

to tell me how much he was suffering

00:18:00

because of these

00:18:06

medications. People were describing all

00:18:09

kinds of unusual reactions

00:18:13

including catis which is

00:18:15

severe agitation where one can't

00:18:17

stop

00:18:20

moving it can be long 6 months 1 year

00:18:24

sometimes even to wean off

00:18:27

Benzpin MCS P not that they have

00:18:33

time the experts and patients

00:18:36

describe to us a very gradual sRAGE where the

00:18:38

doses are reduced only a little 5% in

00:18:41

weeks sometimes with the medicine in

00:18:43

liquid form now retired

00:18:46

doctur says that his patients were

00:18:48

many who did not give

00:18:50

informed consent to the risk associated with

00:18:54

mixing

00:18:57

them

00:19:01

once he discovered the symptoms to the doctor

00:19:05

who replied that it was impossible that

00:19:07

it was linked to the

00:19:09

ben which is not true

00:19:15

so we advise them to increase the

00:19:18

dose which is not the

00:19:27

solution not the situation who

00:19:30

can we

00:19:34

turn to [Music] not to go see the doctor Google

00:19:38

but really my only solution is

00:19:41

really through there that I saw that

00:19:44

I was not alone that these were

00:19:46

very common symptoms that happened to

00:19:49

several people because the stories of

00:19:51

people saying they had experienced

00:19:52

health problems linked to these

00:19:54

medications abound on the

00:19:57

web I weaned myself because

00:20:00

unfortunately the doctor who was

00:20:01

following me at the time did not believe

00:20:02

that I was in withdrawal because he

00:20:04

said that it was not possible after so

00:20:05

long that I had stopped that I was

00:20:07

in an off he said it's not normal that

00:20:09

's like

00:20:11

that I did a

00:20:15

liquid withdrawal which the pellule which is dissolved

00:20:17

in liquid then we take

00:20:19

drops every day then less in

00:20:21

fewer drops each day then I

00:20:23

did that for 4 months all

00:20:26

alone if you get on a plane then

00:20:28

the pilot says to me I don't know how to

00:20:30

land the plane I don't think you

00:20:31

would stay there then I I have the impression

00:20:33

that benzos are a bit like that,

00:20:35

there are many who are capable of

00:20:36

prescribing perhaps the right dose or the

00:20:38

right medication but they are not

00:20:40

necessarily capable of telling you

00:20:42

how to properly stop

00:20:48

drug-related adverse reactions can be

00:20:49

reported on a

00:20:51

federal database monitored by Health Canada in

00:20:54

recent years

00:20:56

diazepine bainzeaux and Z-hypnotics are

00:20:58

mentioned in more than 20,000

00:21:01

reports what is troubling is

00:21:03

that the side effects that

00:21:05

patients tell us these

00:21:06

side effects that doctors do not seem to

00:21:08

believe but they are recognized by

00:21:10

the pharmaceutical companies themselves we

00:21:12

see it in the product monographs we

00:21:14

talk about tremor suicide attempt

00:21:19

amnesia it is information that

00:21:22

has been known for 40 to 50 years and I

00:21:26

have difficulty understanding why it has not been

00:21:28

marked before given that the

00:21:31

statistics are so important it is

00:21:33

anger at the inaction of all

00:21:36

the medical authorities but how come it is

00:21:39

is known and known and

00:21:42

nothing is being done to address this but it

00:21:44

ca

00:21:48

n't be our investigation led us to

00:21:50

document the cases of 12 Canadians who

00:21:52

say they suffered damage from

00:21:54

azepine binzau as recently

00:21:57

as 2020 3 their criticism of the

00:22:00

medical profession concerns several points including

00:22:02

long-term prescriptions, the

00:22:04

lack of warnings about the risks,

00:22:07

the non-recognition of symptoms of

00:22:09

tolerance of dependence or withdrawal and

00:22:11

the absence of appropriate withdrawal plans

00:22:14

the case of François Chapet is

00:22:16

without a doubt the most dramatic of

00:22:19

all he's a bird maniac he's

00:22:22

so handsome

00:22:26

too

00:22:28

François he's a pretty

00:22:30

rigorous guy he was at university he

00:22:33

did two baccalaureates and there mné he saw an

00:22:36

advert for a position for the UN and out of

00:22:40

1000 applications he was the lucky one who

00:22:43

chose then he was able to retire

00:22:47

so at 49 years old but he had always

00:22:49

worked for that François so he was a good

00:22:52

worker he loved his work but

00:22:53

he told me I have a taste for traveling

00:22:55

I have a taste for enjoying life that

00:22:57

's the smile my brother that's

00:23:06

kindness in the spring of 2015 François

00:23:09

went on a trip to

00:23:12

Cuba so he started doing When he

00:23:14

got off

00:23:16

the plane that summer he became

00:23:19

extremely anxious because he

00:23:22

wasn't able to do his things.

00:23:23

He wasn't able to think about

00:23:24

other things. He just focused on

00:23:26

that. that it started that I

00:23:28

started taking anti-

00:23:29

anxiety drugs it was the summer of 2015 quickly

00:23:33

François developed a tolerance and

00:23:35

dependence on benzau diazepine

00:23:37

insomnia the pincer the fall was

00:23:41

abrupt I often found myself in

00:23:43

the psychiatric hospital with him when

00:23:45

he was in a really really bad state

00:23:48

who hadn't slept for days and

00:23:50

days and days the doctors

00:23:51

listened to him he was very capable of

00:23:54

speaking very well of explaining his

00:23:55

problem of explaining what was happening

00:23:57

but we went out always without

00:24:02

follow-up in almost 2 years several

00:24:05

doctors including a psychiatrist friend

00:24:07

prescribed diadepin baths or

00:24:09

Z hypnotics they multiplied the

00:24:12

pills going from one doctor to another or

00:24:14

from one pharmacy to another to have

00:24:17

[Music]

00:24:21

renewals I think that

00:24:22

doctors must always check

00:24:26

if the person to whom the medication is given,

00:24:28

so go and see in the central file

00:24:30

if there have not already been others from

00:24:35

someone another said Marie I don't see how

00:24:38

I'm going to get out of this he had to

00:24:40

double then triple the

00:24:42

prescriptions to be able to sleep

00:24:44

a few

00:24:48

hours François it's as if his

00:24:50

brain is it's like calmly

00:24:52

that l completely changed he was no longer

00:24:55

the strong rational guy who knew

00:24:58

how to do everything he became

00:25:01

completely he was lost in his

00:25:03

side effects his body disorders

00:25:04

he only talked about that François he was no

00:25:06

longer the same it's that was more

00:25:20

[Music]

00:25:26

the

00:25:30

[Music]

00:25:35

the benzos that I took to sleep and

00:25:37

facilitate my aquhèes at the same time are

00:25:40

the fatal blow then he cures the benzos

00:25:43

are the fatal blow excuse me for

00:25:46

not calling you and asking for your help

00:25:48

in what are perhaps the last

00:25:49

moments of my life

00:25:54

8:10 a.m. Tuesday

00:25:56

morning 4 a.m. but it was

00:25:59

[Music]

00:26:02

finished here we put it in François we

00:26:06

inured him following his suicide then I brought him

00:26:10

back with me to the family home

00:26:12

so I think about him all the time then

00:26:15

well it's he's here with

00:26:20

[Music]

00:26:26

me

00:26:30

returning after the opioid crisis the

00:26:35

binzau crisis the experts we speak to

00:26:38

tell us that for them it's a crisis

00:26:40

public health yes you agree

00:26:42

yeah

00:26:47

absolutely you know we hear a lot

00:26:50

about the opioid crisis but

00:26:52

according to experts the overprescription of

00:26:55

benzau diazepine and the like is

00:26:59

just as

00:27:04

worrying [Music] during the 2010s

00:27:07

bzau diazepine transcends the

00:27:09

medical field these pills often taken

00:27:11

recreationally s in art and

00:27:15

[Music]

00:27:26

music

00:27:36

2016 the opioid crisis is in full swing

00:27:39

in the

00:27:48

United States the thousands of overdoses

00:27:50

attract all the attention of the authorities

00:27:53

leaving the Bau diazepine in the

00:27:55

blind spot but an awareness is

00:27:58

slowly beginning propelled by a

00:28:00

citizen mobilization almost all the

00:28:02

Canadians to whom we spoke as

00:28:04

part of this report mentioned to us

00:28:07

the American resources which provided them with

00:28:09

the aid which they did not avit not found

00:28:10

in the medical system here one woman

00:28:13

in particular has been referred to us numerous

00:28:26

times

00:28:31

201 we put to

00:28:34

thelinera support communities to

00:28:37

basically report in in mass their injury

00:28:41

in 2018 the FDA noticed an increase in

00:28:46

reports and so they started looking

00:28:49

which is what

00:28:50

they thanks to its efforts in September

00:28:53

2020 the FDA ordered that Benz

00:28:56

diazpin se accompanied by the

00:28:58

most serious warning that the

00:28:59

regulations allow a warning

00:29:02

[Music]

00:29:17

framed the FDA report indicates

00:29:20

that some doctors

00:29:26

The agency

00:29:28

recognizes that addiction can occur

00:29:30

after just weeks and that

00:29:32

many patients report continuing to

00:29:34

suffer long after their

00:29:36

withdrawal ends in one of the cases we're talking about 8

00:29:48

[Music]

00:29:56

years just regular anxiety that people get

00:30:01

you know starting a new job your first

00:30:04

career out of

00:30:06

school and I was prescribed

00:30:11

[Music]

00:30:12

xanx i just couldn't get out of

00:30:15

bed I stopped brushing my teeth like

00:30:20

functioning like a

00:30:22

normal person the person I had been

00:30:24

before I took these medication

00:30:27

[Music]

00:30:31

so I

00:30:33

detoxed in

00:30:35

2010

00:30:37

October and it is uh November of 2023

00:30:42

and I still have

00:30:46

symptoms I lost my career

00:30:50

I

00:30:52

um probably the most painful thing was

00:30:55

that it happened

00:30:58

when I was in my 20s is when I got

00:31:02

prescribed and then most of the sickness

00:31:05

was in my 30s and so all of the window

00:31:09

to like be a

00:31:18

that's

00:31:26

gone it is testimonies like those

00:31:28

of Nicole which prompted experts in the

00:31:30

Colorado to look into this

00:31:33

[Music]

00:31:35

issue there are people who take

00:31:37

zazpin benzos all their lives and who

00:31:39

have no neurological or

00:31:42

psychological problems but there are many

00:31:44

people who experience long-term after-effects

00:31:49

some people suffers

00:31:51

for months or even years after

00:31:54

stopping the benzo diazpin

00:31:58

as if their nervous system had

00:32:00

adapted to the

00:32:03

[Music]

00:32:07

drugs this prolonged syndrome

00:32:09

now has a

00:32:13

name the neurological dysfunction

00:32:15

induced by the

00:32:18

[Music]

00:32:20

Benzin in 2023 the

00:32:24

psychiatrist publ les results of a

00:32:26

survey of 1,200 people recruited

00:32:29

from support groups of people

00:32:30

affected by

00:32:35

diazepine: more than half of the individuals

00:32:38

surveyed had experienced

00:32:41

debilitating symptoms and many of these

00:32:43

symptoms had no connection with the

00:32:45

reasons for which treatment

00:32:47

had been initiated 54% of respondents

00:32:51

reported having had

00:32:54

suicidal thoughts many people

00:32:57

affected by this

00:32:58

neurological dysfunction end up losing their

00:33:01

most

00:33:03

precious things their job their home their

00:33:06

relationships the care of their children their

00:33:15

health it we need more research we

00:33:17

don't have enough information what

00:33:19

we know is that many

00:33:21

people

00:33:22

suffer in medicine we want to

00:33:25

prevent the worst scenario

00:33:28

even if certain symptoms are

00:33:30

rarer we must be aware that they

00:33:31

are possible it we must not

00:33:52

dismiss them around 2020 the time began to

00:33:56

change even

00:33:58

if the name is inspired by the drug

00:34:22

and

00:34:25

Colorado measures are inspired by the

00:34:27

regulations which govern opioids

00:34:30

because according to experts the ravages of

00:34:32

bzau diazepine are just as

00:34:38

devastating it is a crisis which is

00:34:40

more snoise therefore associated with overdoses

00:34:44

but mixed with other products

00:34:46

associated with falls but often it is

00:34:48

multifactorial so it is difficult to

00:34:51

say it was only

00:34:54

because these drugs contribute to

00:34:57

morbidity and cause a lot of

00:34:59

suffering and difficulties that we

00:35:01

have not yet quantified that we do

00:35:03

not measure

00:35:05

adequately it's a kind of fire that burns

00:35:08

slowly people

00:35:10

are not yet

00:35:15

aware of it [Music] when they return who is responsible

00:35:18

for the overconsumption of

00:35:22

bzau when someone doesn't do their

00:35:24

homework at the small school is a

00:35:27

punishment much more severe than the doctor

00:35:29

who prescribes bzau it's not MO

00:35:33

bonang that's not my good why do

00:35:36

they punish

00:35:37

[Music]

00:35:42

not you will see in what follows

00:35:45

archives which demonstrate that

00:35:47

dependence on medication is a

00:35:49

hot topic for a long time so

00:35:52

why nothing is

00:35:55

changing

00:36:02

Pierre has undertaken a fight to

00:36:05

provide solutions to the

00:36:07

public health crisis of the overprescription of

00:36:09

benzo diazpine he has been working for

00:36:11

months on a proposed

00:36:13

bill that he wants submit to a

00:36:20

deputy then the first objective is

00:36:23

for the doctor to obtain

00:36:25

clear consent from the patient if he

00:36:28

intends to use benzau diadepine

00:36:32

beyond what is provided for by the FDA

00:36:35

this is firstly to warn him uh that

00:36:39

precisely beyond 14 to 30 days we

00:36:42

are in unmarked territory

00:36:45

one month after the

00:36:48

FDA warning in fall 2020 Health Canada

00:36:51

publishes a notice for new

00:36:53

warnings to be added to the

00:36:54

labels of bzau diazepin and

00:36:56

hypnotics in Z on the subject of the

00:36:59

serious and potentially

00:37:00

fatal risks associated with these drugs it makes one

00:37:04

wonder what this

00:37:05

communication was for none of the experts

00:37:08

we spoke to had seen this

00:37:12

opinion passed studies have shown that the

00:37:14

warnings of public health have

00:37:16

no impact on prescriptions I am

00:37:19

truly amazed that there is

00:37:22

not someone somewhere in the

00:37:24

system who looks at the

00:37:26

FDA recommendations for a drug that is

00:37:29

taken by maybe 10 15% of the

00:37:32

population and who says to themselves H we should

00:37:34

perhaps tighten up our

00:37:38

practices several territories have already

00:37:40

put in place measures to try to

00:37:42

reduce the consumption of these

00:37:44

drugs in Nova Scotia

00:37:47

professional standards

00:37:48

now dictate that a new prescription

00:37:50

should not exceed 2 to 4 weeks in

00:37:53

Alberta we are talking about a maximum of 3 to 7

00:37:55

days where is the College of Physicians

00:37:58

of Quebec still in the

00:38:00

data analysis since January the college

00:38:03

is collaborating with the Régie de l'assurance

00:38:05

disease of Quebec to identify

00:38:06

doctors who prescribe large

00:38:08

quantities of benzo diazepine and

00:38:11

opioid the idea is to do this

00:38:13

program then in 3 years to be

00:38:16

able to have enough

00:38:19

information to influence the

00:38:22

policies in relation to this and to

00:38:25

submit recommendations if we see

00:38:27

that it is much more important than what we might have

00:38:30

thought well perhaps

00:38:31

we will not wait 3 years there

00:38:33

to take

00:38:35

[Music]

00:38:36

action our team has taken note

00:38:38

of certain complaints addressed to the

00:38:40

College of Physicians Pierre deplores

00:38:42

that he was prescribed Binzeaux

00:38:43

Diazepine for a much longer duration

00:38:45

than the current recommendations

00:38:47

without having been warned of the dangers of

00:38:49

tolerance and dependence that it entailed.

00:38:52

talks about around 6000 benzo diazepines

00:38:55

that this person consumed and there

00:38:57

was no BL the complaint was rejected

00:39:00

why I can't tell you why do

00:39:03

you think it's

00:39:04

reasonable for us it's going to be

00:39:06

important not to target to identify

00:39:09

doctors who are delinquent in parentheses

00:39:11

in relation to this way of

00:39:13

doing things and not to condemn them

00:39:18

not to sanction them but to

00:39:20

help them then go there with more of an

00:39:23

educational approach to lend them a

00:39:25

helping hand to change them their

00:39:27

prescribing habits if

00:39:32

necessary if the dog guards

00:39:34

patients hesitate to punish who

00:39:37

protects the public from doctors who

00:39:38

prescribe

00:39:40

recklessly when someone does not do their

00:39:43

homework at the small school who receives a

00:39:46

much more severe punishment than the doctor

00:39:48

who prescribes

00:39:49

bzau it's no MO from

00:39:52

Bonin that no word Bonin why do

00:39:55

n't you punish

00:39:59

because I don't want to I don't want to say

00:40:01

I'm a victim you understand yes I

00:40:04

have everything in hand I'm coming to this fight

00:40:07

but it's 'is t because I'm in a good

00:40:11

mood I'm doing my best I'm trying

00:40:13

I'm trying

00:40:15

[Music]

00:40:25

I'm esse

00:40:31

you think that the general practitioner

00:40:33

has a tendency to prescription pad

00:40:36

rather than spend the time to generally

00:40:39

analyze patient complaints what youve had

00:40:42

in the last 20 years is overutilization

00:40:45

over dependency on the doctors by a lot

00:40:47

of people rather than looking after

00:40:49

other health aspects their own lifestyle

00:40:51

and other ways of dealing withs and I do

00:40:53

see this physan as being the

00:41:06

benzo

00:41:09

diazpin in my opinion it is

00:41:12

professional misconduct to initiate such

00:41:14

treatment and prescribe it in the long

00:41:18

term one of the avenues I think which

00:41:20

is not sufficiently put forward

00:41:22

is the ability to deprescribe

00:41:24

medications be better trained to

00:41:26

stop medications and even while

00:41:27

wanting to help our patients we can

00:41:29

prescribe certain medications that will

00:41:30

ultimately harm them, so be

00:41:32

extremely vigilant in this regard,

00:41:34

not deny the phenomenon of dependence

00:41:36

that is there and carefully supervise our

00:41:38

prescriptions we learned to do it

00:41:39

with the opiates to be vigilant how to

00:41:41

prescribe the opiates I think that we must

00:41:43

do the same for the Benzes of the

00:41:55

thorns

00:42:00

[Music]

00:42:04

the observation there is no

00:42:06

miracle cure for stress and to anxiety and

00:42:08

we have known this for

00:42:10

[Music]

00:42:13

decades Benzin can reduce the

00:42:16

feeling that we are capable of

00:42:17

managing pain and discomfort it can

00:42:20

give the impression of being ineffective

00:42:22

in one's life when taking a medication

00:42:24

to reduce anxiety or avoid

00:42:29

painful emotions my goal with my

00:42:31

patients is to tell them you have the

00:42:33

power to take back control of your

00:42:35

life to calm yourself down to take care of

00:42:41

[Music]

00:42:44

yourself I often think that I I

00:42:46

missed 5 years of my life there I spent

00:42:50

those 5 years worrying about

00:42:53

absolutely nothing to stop me from living

00:42:57

ok Pierre calm down take one day at a

00:42:59

time one night at a time you have successfully

00:43:02

weaned you have no more bzau Diaz

00:43:04

thorn you know that it will get better

00:43:05

eventually hold on to this idea

00:43:08

[Music]

Description:

Des pilules pour se calmer ou pour dormir, on en retrouve dans les pharmacies de millions de Canadiens. Si ces ordonnances sont extrêmement populaires, elles ne sont pas toujours sécuritaires à long terme. Les benzodiazépines et les hypnotiques en Z ont un fort potentiel de dépendance, et chez certaines personnes, peuvent entraîner de graves effets secondaires, dont des troubles neurologiques. Alors que 20 % de notre population de 65 ans et plus consomme ces médicaments de façon chronique, les experts sonnent l’alarme sur une crise de santé publique. Enquête recense les ravages d’un remède qui, parfois, cause plus de tort que de bien.
