The Dangers Of Self-Medicating

Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston, who died of cocaine use, heart disease and drowning, was a walking pharmacy. She had several drugs in her system when she died - namely cocaine and marijuana, which is sometimes mixed with toxic additives, in addition to pharmaceuticals Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl, which all have a heavy sedative effect. In short, she was zonked. Flexeril is a muscle relaxer (which can relax the heart as well) and anti-anxiety drug Xanax, in tandem with the cocaine, gave her heart a beating it could not stand up to.

But this is the Hollywood lifestyle, where celebrities and executives take drugs to forget their problems and get high, which is their definition of partying. What some don't get is that in Hollywood drugs are seen as a good thing, something positive, when in actuality they are not. In Hollywood drugs are apart of the party...even if it kills you. Hollywood needs to change its attitude towards drugs and alcohol.

Russell Armstrong and Taylor Armstrong
The website TMZ is reporting, reality star, Russell Armstrong, who was pronounced dead in Los Angeles after hanging himself, requested a Xanax anti-anxiety pill from an actor, in the days leading up to his death. When Armstrong reportedly called to request more Xanax from the actor, he refused to supply him with any more of the pharmaceutical drug, for fear it would lead to abuse.
Xanax and certain other drugs in its class, such as anti-depressants, used to treat mood disorders or depression, can promote intense thoughts of suicide. This is an established medical fact. Furthermore, it is recommended that patients be weaned off the aforementioned type pharmaceutical drugs (gradually decreasing dosages), rather than abruptly stopping all dosages, as it can lead to worse side effects that resemble drug withdrawal and increased depression.
Once again, suicide is not the answer. It is best to be placed on a proper treatment plan by medical professionals, who can monitor your health and frame of mind, rather than resorting to self-medicating.

The news coming out today about the late singer Michael Jackson reveals the excess that was prevalent throughout his life. Jackson earned a lot of money since he was a child and never truly understood the value of it or how to manage his portfolio.

A long list of Jackson's many prescription meds was revealed. Michael was beaming up! I'm gonna have to start calling him Rite Aid or CVS:
-- A vial of Versed -- a powerful sedative
-- Several IV bags containing "a milky white fluid, located in a small cardboard box on top of the bathtub." Propofol and other anesthesias are milky white. As we first reported, Propofol was in Jackson's home the day he died.
-- A vial of Promethazine -- an antihistamine with strong sedative effects
-- A bottle of Alprazolam (generic for Xanax, a powerful anti-anxiety drug)
-- A bottle of Percocet -- a painkiller
