Heath Ledger's Accidental Overdose - Discussion Thread (Was: Breaking News)

<< < (34/59) > >>

Ellemeno:
I agree, I don't think most of us are bickering, just processing and thinkin' out loud.

Y'all might really want to read The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis.  It's the novel that Heath was going to direct as his first movie.  In it, the protagonist begins her long love affair with prescription Librium at ten years old, while mastering chess.

I think most of us were really counting on hearing this news to ease our anxieties and to put the fact of Heath's death behind us, and for me, all it has done is stir up all of the grief and feelings of loss and futility all over again.

Yes, for me too...how sad that this was such a preventable death. I'm also reflecting on what a miracle Heath was, and what beauty he leaves behind him.

*sigh* I think we all knew this news was coming but still not great to finally find out.

I agree with Lucise here...

IMO, the point is - there is a family out there who is grieving the loss of a son, father, brother...

..at the end of the day - Heath is still gone - and our speculating and arguing is not going to change this. However as people have said, we can learn from this.

Verona, and others, you've really made me think.

I get citrizane (an antihistimine) to cure a number of things - hayfever, pet allergies, prickly heat. It says one once a day - but if I'm feeling particualrly snotty - and definitely when i'm on a hot beach holiday I'll take two.

On top of that at the moment, I'm taking 3 colofac tablets a day for my IBS.

I also am taking one terbanifine once a day for a fungal infection I have in my toenail beds after my walking exhbidition.

Plus my birth control pill.

I also have blue and brown asthma inhalers - I take maybe one to two puffs of this each a day. (Although some days it will be none, other days two or three or more)

On top of that, if I had a sore head I would probably take 2 iboprofen. and then another 2 4 hrs later. Maybe a paracetomol in between times if I'm still feeling  sore headed,

Shite - writing that down makes me worried already.

abuser -  is the medical term - in truth we'll never know.. we can only believe.

Kelda,

Perhaps this will reassure you.  Cetirizine is not a "typical" antihistamine, in that it is non drowsy and does not work in the same depressive manner as early generation antihistamines.  I have taken cetirizine and its more powerful cousin, levocetirizine, when I was in Europe.  Cetirizine as part of a newer generation of safer asthma drugs, is considered safe enough to use with infants.  If you want a "better" effect, however, you may wish to ask your doctor for levocetirizine which I believe in Britain may be marketed as Xysal or Xusal or Zysal.  And I feel sorry for your struggling with asthma! I did too for several years before I found my gluten intolerance and it made my symptoms go away!

"There was some open space between what he knew and what he wanted to believe, but there was nothing to be done about it, and if you can't fix it, you've got to stand it."

God bless you, Heath.
