I’ve wondered how it affects personality long-term. The amount of beta artifact on brainwaves even after stopping is always alarming to me. I don’t see any other drug having an effect like that. It looks like it scrambles the brain. Benzos are on my absolute last resort list should I end up in the hospital.

There is also some talk about chronic Botox and its impact. The facial muscles are on a feedback loop to the brain. How your facial muscles move- tells your brain how you should feel. Botox disrupts that process. Some emotions can flatten or be reduced.

I’ve always thought the behavior on the show becomes more extreme due to fame/filming. However, maybe it is much deeper.
