Did I miss something? I don't know that we know he did this habitually, or for what length of time he may have been taking these medications.

And for "stress/anxiety," I've seen people who have been on up to 10 different kinds of them, with the leftovers still sitting on the shelf.

I know. Last time I went home I was surprised at the amount of friends of mine who are now taking antidepressants for this or that. I don't know if they really need it but from what they told me some of their problems were just stupid and silly. When I feel down, I go running or swimming or take a walk. But that's me.

Ross thats an awful thing to say. I agree with Ed. Bickering about wether or not he took them all at once, or not really doesn,t matter any more does it? We will never know what went on because we wern,t there. The way that you worded that almost makes it, sound as if you think it,s his own fault. For heavens sake the poor guy isn,t even buried yet. Let,s show some respect eh?

I don't think there is a parallel between Britney Spears and Heath. Britney was a chronic meth user and has indulged in repeated public bizarre behavior due to acute psychiatric problems that were played out in front of the media.

This is why Brittney Spears was committed because an abuser has no clue of what they are doing. They just want to get high on what ever they have at hand. When someone like Heath is on set he has access to the company Dr that will perscribe meds for the talent. When you are on multiple movies there are multiple Dr's and that means multiple drugs. This added to maybe his regular Dr's perscriptions can equal a deadly cocktail. The abuser is responsible for his own actions no one else. This is why Brittney Spears had to be committed. It's to bad Heath didn't have people in his inner circle that cared more about him.

This speculating is exactly what made me so intensely sick in the past two weeks, RossInIllinois. Please would you take it somewhere else? Maybe one of the tabloids would be interested in your speculations.
