92. If this story prooves authentic. There is another side to ANS having methadone.


Methadone maintenance treatment has been demonstrated to significantly improve pregnancy outcomes for opiate dependent women. Methadone does not increase the risk of congenital abnormalities in infants.

Methadone maintenance is known to:

Assist with stabilisation of drug use and lifestyle
Help provide a stable environment in your body for your baby , which can improve the health of your baby
Facilitate attendance for pregnancy care
Reduce the risk of blood borne viral infections including Hepatitis C and HIV
Reduce crime associated with drug use
Is safe in breastfeeding
Methadone should be commenced as soon as possible after pregnancy has been confirmed, or continued if you are already on a methadone program. You should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of methadone treatment with your health professional in order to make an informed decision about management during your pregnancy. Inpatient Methadone Stabilisation Program (.pdf) is available for you to download and print to find out more about the program offered at The Royal Women’s Hospital.

Withdrawal from methadone treatment during pregnancy is strongly discouraged due to the risk of miscarriage, premature labour, fetal death and possible return to dependent heroin/opiate use.

93. I would like to know how and from whom TMZ has acquired all these documents????????? Maybe from the illegal entry into Anna Nicole's home, Horizons???????

94. How could Anna recieve treatment the normal way!! She was too famous. Perhaps Larry gave her an ultimatum, either she quite the methodone or else. At least she was smart enough to get proper care and take methodone which is a treatment drug. She knew she needed to do something during her pregnancy and she was able to find a doctor who went out on the limb to help her! She wasn't going to be able to just stop her drug activity. The whole thing is a horrible lesson in not to take narcotics and get addicted. Half the people in Hollywood are probably on methodone. So what if they used a false name. She was getting help!

95. If she had truly done methadone when she was preggers, dont you think the docs would have caught onto that when they delivered the baby?? Methadone can penetrate the placenta and go into the baby, all babies get blood work done and if drugs are found they'll take your kid away. I dont believe all this crap.

96. The ME didn't say there were no drugs, just no illegal drugs (i.e., marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc.).

97. She probably slept with the doctor, too. Seems like she slept with anyone who would give her whatever she wanted. It's sad that she thought so little of her body and her baby.

98. There is no smoking gun here regarding Dr. Kapoor. Howard or whoever may have sent an actual person using this name to the Drs office to score the prescriptions. The pharmacy sent the drugs to the Bahamas, not the Dr.

99. How pitiful that so much is being written about this woman. She contributed nothing to society and has left a legacy of garbage in her wake. Why does anyone care...don't you have lives people?

100. I think this Doctor should go down....and the Pharmacy as well.... If they got away with this presp. what others are out there?? Anna's Dead..It all caught up with her which is no surprise...I hope were ever she is she's watching all the Horror she left that poor beautiful Baby and the mess thats left in her wake....God only knows the ending to this Tragady....

101. I am in agreement with pepsipup. The doctor wrote the script for a "Michelle Chase".........wouldn't the pharmacist fill the med script to the same????????? It is a powerful opiate, and is not usually/generally dispensed to individuals, on a prescription basis???? And then, it is filled in another name???? This is a tangled web of hoodwinks at work......I think that baby needs to be put in a safer environment, until all these matters are investigated, and questions answered. Something is not right, and if this goes ignored, I have not faith in the justice system. ANS.....is obviously the quack drug addict she presented as.........

102. The Bahamian authorities have known about this guy all along. He's been interviewed and will be subpoenaed for the inquest next month. ANS's stash was liquid and Daniel had tablets on his person. All this proves is that TMZ is guilty of receiving stolen personal papers. Get a grip people. The sensationalism proves nothing.

104. #14 - It was not filled for Vicky Marshall...It was SENT to that name in the Bahamas.

THANK YOU Harvey Levin and TMZ! I presume the real friends of ANS (Thompson's daughter and son-in-law) are the sources for the documents and they did a service by getting into that house before STERN had a chance to remove everything!!!!!!!!!!! And everyting is in safe keeping in South Carolina as EVIDENCE.

Stern better give up the baby for DNA testing anms use whatever $$ he ahs for attorneys. He has lots to answer for! What a slime ball! I doubt if Anna would have ever had sex with that sicko.

105. I agree w/ #2, who said that Dr Kapoor should lose his license should this all prove to be true. What LEGITIMATE doctor in his right mind would give a pregnant woman drugs? It's just insane how lurid & disturbing this story continues to become! And kudos for TMZ for doing a great job at reporting it w/o being overly sensational or salacious about it....

Howard Stern is definitely evil, & Daniellyn needs to be taken away from him sooner rather than later
