What I do know is that it is very easy to take ,accidentally too many Rx. meds.As I am having a rough time at the moment,I am on several meds.All prescribed by same phsician,sleeping tabs,anti depressants,pain killers.
Since the death of Heath I have started keeing a note of what I took and when.
It is so easy when you cant sleep,are depressed,manic and in pain,just to think oh,Ill just take a couple more.Anything to get rid of the pain,mental and physical,get some sleep.So I am much more careful than I used to be.
It at least acted as a bit of a wake up call to me.to be less cavalier about my meds.Now when it gets real bad I offload here at Better Most !!!!!!!!!

That's so good to hear... yeah even when a doctor prescribes pain medicine, you need to be very careful with them. My doctor prescribed me very strong pain medication last week for a pulled muscle, and I now found out it increases the risk of heart failure, needless to say I will quit taking it asap.

The only painkiller I ever take, and I,ve been taking it for years and years, is Ibobrufen. Dunno if I spelt that right. I take it because I suffer dreadfully with "womens things". It,s the only thing that works.

Heath's wheels
A ROYAL blue classic Aston Martin V8, which once belonged to Heath Ledger, is again up for sale in Sydney.
The beautifully presented car was actually the NEC Motor Show car and it is finished in deep royal blue, with chamois leather piped in navy and navy Wilton carpets.
For a time, it was proudly parked in the driveway of Ledger's former Bronte home, proving that he was a man of style. However, it is now in the showroom of the Classic Throttle Shop in North Sydney, with a price tag of $145,000 - only for the most committed of the Ledger memorabilia hunters.

And some new details about the portrait of Heath and the Archibald Prize entry by Vincent Fantauzzo.
f the annual Archibald Prize is meant to court controversy, then the 2008 version lives up to its reputation.
The most haunting image among the 40 finalists vying for next Friday’s $50,000 prize is that of actor Heath Ledger, who died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in the US two months ago.
The brooding portrait shows a Christ-like image of the actor surrounded by two further images of himself whispering into both ears.
Ledger sat for his friend Vincent Fantauzzo in Perth last Christmas.
But the Melbourne artist had second thoughts about entering after Ledger’s sudden death, and changed his mind only after talking with the actor’s family and friends.
Ledger was given sketches of the proposed painting but never saw the final result.
“I was about to email him an image when I heard,” Fantauzzo said.
