62. Xanax is an anti depression/anxiety drug. Effexor XR is an anti depression anti anxiety drug. I was under massive stress at work, (Massive) and the doctor prescribed Effexor XR to alleviate stress. The drug actually gave me ANXIETY like I never had in my life. I went for a second opinion about the medication saying its making me 10x worse. I was told to stay on it. I could not sleep or think clearly. So I was given Valium to take away the anxiety that Effexor was causing. Then I would drink to get to sleep as well.

I hate drugs and had never participate in the 'recreational' aspect of it. I don't even like to drink.

But between stress, SEVERE ANXIETY and doctors giving me Effexor I went loopy. I quit my job, I got off the Effexor (very difficult to do) and now I have no desire for any stimulants to go to sleep, except a good book.

Don't compare drug addicts with hard working people experiencing big stress and turn to doctors for help.

65. And please do not pass judgment! Is not our job to judge him, but God. Who knows what happened? It could have been accidental or in purpose, but is not our place to judge him. It goes to show you that people in Hollywood are just like us and make mistakes. I see an uprising of these deaths, and this one is like Anna Nicole Smith and she too had pneumonia when she died. Never, ever!! miss these meds, with common over the counter meds, very dangerous, and as a human being he made that mistake. Rest his soul in peace!! In our house we loved you, Keith! May your daughter know that you were loved and will be miss....

70. Ambien killed him....... it puts you into a coma and you die........
He wasn't a druggie... just a tired guy.. who snorted or popped to many ambien pills to get to sleep

Posted at 4:01PM on Jan 23rd 2008 by ambien stocks going down

71. Maybe they will find ambien on the dollar bill.....maybe he snorted that to get to sleep faster





Beware of ambien people - it has bad interactions like allergic shock , heart attack and worse.. it can be abused...

I read this information on a Rx website

Ambien Overdose

Ambien with the generic name of Zolpidem belongs to a class of medicines that effects the central nervous system, called sedative hypnotics. Ambien is closely related to a family of drugs called benzodiazepines. These drugs cause sedation, muscle relaxation, act as anti-convulsants (anti-seizure), and have anti-anxiety properties. Ambien has selectivity in that it has little of the muscle relaxant or anti-seizure effect and more of the sedative effect. Therefore, it is used as a medication for sleep. People who take too much Ambien may become excessively sleepy or even go into a light coma. The symptoms of overdose are more severe if the person is also taking other drugs that depress the central nervous system. Some cases of multiple overdoses have been fatal.

When abused, Ambien tablets are taken orally, crushed and then snorted, or dissolved in water and "cooked" for intravenous injection.

Overdose of Ambien may include:

sleepiness
confusion
dizziness
clumsiness
severe nausea or vomiting
staggering
difficult or slow breathing
slowed heart rate
unconsciousness

72. I wonder why his dr. would prescribe both xanax and valium..they are both benzodiazepines and both do the same thing. It is a sort of one or the other medication if taking both an accidental overdose would be an easy thing to have happen. Someone needs to take a look at his dr.

73. Anybody else hoping he's not RIP(ing)?

74. just for the record...I know alot of people have those medications in their homes. For those of you who have nothing but negative things to say about this tragic death, grow up and get ur lives together. Stop blaming the world and talented actors for ur misfortunes. He was rich b/c he worked hard. Get over your jealousy. Let's try and remember this person for his talents, not for the garbage the media strewns around for their own personal gain.

Oh yea, btw TMZ I really disapprove of the video where ur cameramen follow Lindsay Lohan shouting "HEATH IS DEAD" to get a reaction. I thought it was cold hearted. Also, why is it you people are always talking about the Paparazzi...yet, you are the paparazzi???? Hmmm.

75. Maybe the doctor thought he was smart enough not to overdose. Apparently the doctor was wrong.
