The fallout from the stunning death of 32 year old actress Brittany Murphy continues. Now it is being reported that investigators have found "an astonishing array" of strong prescription drugs on Brittany Murphy's bedside table. According to reports, some of the bottles of prescription drugs were made out to Brittany Murphy, but other bottles were apparently made out to her mother Sharon Murphy, some had husband Simon Monjack's name on them and some of the bottles had the names of other unidentified individuals on them. Some of the prescription drugs found on Murphy's bedside table include Topamax (anti-seizure medication), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression), Klonopin (anxiety), Carbamazepine (for diabetic symptoms), Ativan (anxiety), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension), Biaxin (antibiotic) and Hydrocodone (pain).
The sad thing is that Brittany Murphy never learned how incredibly dangerous prescription drugs can be. The truth is that thousands upon thousands of Americans die each year from reactions to prescription drugs. In fact, there are rumors that prescription drugs played a key role in Michael Jackson's death.
Just because a doctor gives them to you does not mean that they are safe. Especially when you start taking many different kinds of prescription drugs at the same time.
The reality is that many of these prescription drugs are only slightly different from illegal drugs. In some instances the differences are extremely small.
If you are taking a bunch of different prescription drugs please learn a lesson from the death of Brittany Murphy. People do die from the abuse of prescription drugs. If you think that you could be in trouble please consult with your doctor as soon as possible.
And let us all remember the best days of Brittany Murphy. She was a great actress who should have had a much brighter future ahead of her.
