Jesus H., that combination of meds was a recipe for disaster. :'(
Poor guy. ... :'(
I, too, wish they wouldn't combine the use of accidental and abuse the way they do.

there's the possibility of multiple doctors, but also the reality that doctors will often bend the rules (and suspend good judgment) for celebrity patients. But heck, even if I were to go to my doctor and say "doc, Vicodin did nothing for me... can I try something else?" he would most likely comply, naturally assuming I would stop taking the Vicodin. The combination of medications here screams of that scenario. "This one didn't work, that one didn't work... but maybe if I took them together..."
Heath, I swear... :'(

I honestly don't know what to say. I'm furious, at who and why I don't know. I'm all over the place right now.

EXACTLY. The longer you take them, the more you body starts to tolerate them/become immune. So you think they're not working and you take more. Because you don't feel what you're supposed to feel. But the amount of chemicals you're introducing into your body is still too much, even if you don't feel it anymore. He couldn't sleep, and they didn't work, so he took more. He just wanted to sleep.
THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT.
