Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

And your point is, as I've already said, if she hadn't become addled on crack cocaine, she may just have stood a chance, but probably the reason for being on prescription drugs was related to her well note drug addiction, which had seen her go from a world super star with the world at her feet, to a sorry excuse for a singer, going on her last attempt at a performance, my be the worst thing that happened to this lady was bumping into Bobby Brown then entering a downward spiral to oblivion, a very very sad and a needless death

That's not confirmed yet but-
Xanax(Alprazolam)-Benzodiazepines-
'Require special precautions if used by alcohol or drug dependant individuals'.
'Particular care should be taken in patients with substance abuse history, particularly alcohol dependence'.
'Highly sought after for recreational purposes and in the US and Australia tops the list of drugs used by arrested criminals'.
Looking at the state the poor woman was in the night before she wasn't fit to take aspirin, never mind this 'highly sought after' prescription drug.
As I say,not confirmed yet but what point were you trying to make in your post? That this advances your argument in some way?
I don't think so.
Still a sad loss of a beautiful voice.

I saw those photos of her the night before she died too Gordon, a distant shadow of the once great entertainer

Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

It happened to Michael Jackson now it looks like it might have happened to her-getting access to a prescription drug which she was in no fit state to be let loose with- perhaps she didn't even get it off a doctor.

Ya it seems its quite easy to obtain "prescription drugs" in the sates, for these stars money buys you anything including death:mad:

Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

My Point, Well im just agreeing she died due to drug abuse. Prescribed Drugs.

Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

Xanax and alcohol a real no no. Poor Whitney probably fell asleep in the tub, maybe drowned and/or a heart attack. Shame, she was a talented singer in her day but was obviously totally off the rails recently.:(

Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

Well according to todays Daily Mirror (don't always believe this as fact!) she was taking these prescription medications at time of her death...

Lorazepam - used for anxiety!

Valium - used for anxiety!

Xanax - for panic attacks!

Ibuprofen - pain killer!

Midol - Menstrual cramp treatment!

Amoxicillin - antibiotic for sore throat.

All prescription drugs + alchohol which is legal.

There is a point when these type of drugs kick in and you go unconscious and the body has not strength or way of helping itself- if that happend in the bath then you know what happens! :eek::(

Re: RIP Whitney Houston
 

Well given your lifelong experience with illicit substances think we'll take your word for, mind you think I'd rather listen to Lindsay, she did work in a dispensing chemist for quite a while

a candle lit vigil is to be held at the weekend ;)

she may have died from legal drugs but her desire for them came from illigal drugs and besides getting caught with legal drugs dosnt look as bad in the press
