Brittany loved herself some drugs

Brittany Murphy at the premiere of Across the Hall in 2009

After Brittany Murphy's autopsy revealed that she didn't have any illegal drugs in her system at the time of her death, her widow Simon Monjack said, "I am so sad that we are living in a culture of rumor and I just wish that people would understand that sometimes out of every tragedy can come some good. I know Brittany would want to feel the vindication. She never took a drug or a drink and that's been shown." What I think he actually meant was that Brittany never took a drug besides the 32 different prescription drugs she took over the past six years. Honest mistake. From TMZ:

TMZ has learned Brittany Murphy used her own name -- besides the alias Lola Manilow Murphy -- to secure an array of prescription drugs.

Sources tell us between 2003-2009, Brittany had scores of prescriptions filled for 32 different drugs ... and that was at just one L.A. pharmacy -- and it's not Eddie's Pharmacy, the one that cut her off 4 months before her death because the owner feared an accident loomed.

The drugs included Inderal and Propranolol (high blood pressure), Sarafem (a type of Prozac), chlordiazepoxide (sedative), promethazine (sedative), and four different drugs for asthma.

There's a perfectly logical explanation for why Brittany was taking so many different prescription drugs at one time: she had to wake up next to THIS every morning. Sure, Brittany would probably still be alive today if she'd just bought a dimmer switch or a bunch of paper bags, but those things couldn't do what pills could: stop the crying.

The word is twit, and be nice. Celebslam try really hard, but sometimes they are a little bit biased.

Actually, Promethazine "... is used medically as an antihistamine antiemetic. It has a strong sedative effect and in some countries it is prescribed for insomnia..."

Kimberly

Yeah..Promethazine isn't a sedative. It's for nausea. None of the listed drugs sound terrible to me. What was she 'cut off' of?? Blood pressure medicine? I think not.

Thats all in the past. Obamacare has passed congress and Obama himslelf will sign this historical medical legislation. Now, celebs can get proper government approved and government supervised health care and there will be no more ODs, and unhealthy drugs being prescribed or taken. Only the necessary amounts of approved and proper prescription drugs will be dispensed. Obama and congress have saved the lives of countless celebs. We can all be thankful that our government is now in control.
