NOTE FROM DR. TRACY:
Why would anyone be surprised at this sudden heart attack in a
32 year old with this combination of drugs? This is far too similar
a combination of prescriptions that young healthy soldiers are returning
home on and dying in their sleep.

Sentence three reads: ” Included in the drug list that
TMZ reported were Topamax, anti-seizure medication, Klonopin and Ativan for
anxiety and the pain relievers Klonopin, Ativan, Vicoprofen,
Hydrocodone. Also, depression medication Fluoxetine [PROZAC ] and
hypertension medication Propranolol.”

Brittany Murphy’s autopsy report is on LOCKDOWN! The
list of prescription drugs that were found in the house were leaked to TMZ and
made public. Included in the drug list that TMZ reported were Topamax,
anti-seizure medication, Klonopin and Ativan for anxiety and the pain relievers
Klonopin, Ativan, Vicoprofen, Hydrocodone. Also,
depression medication Fluoxetine and hypertension medication
Propranolol.
TMZ received notes laying out the timeline of
Brittany’s death on Sunday morning. The information was apparently
confidential and was not authorized for the media to publish. The
investigators don’t know where the information came from or how TMZ got a hold
of the information.
TMZ would not say where the information was
obtained.
The investigators are not confirming that the prescription drug
list that was leaked is the same as to what they found at the house. The
investigators are now searching for whoever leaked the
information.
Toxicology tests may take 4-8 weeks to confirm exact cause
of death. For now, Brittany has died from “natural” causes meaning there
is not visual trauma to her body leading to her death.

a Ph.D. in Health Sciences with the emphasis on Psychology, is the director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness. She has specialized for 14 years in adverse reactions to serotonergic medications (such as Prozac, Sarafem, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor, Serzone, Anafranil, Fen-Phen, Redux and Meridia) and has testified before the FDA and congressional subcommittee members on Prozac. She has testified since 1992 as an expert witness in Prozac and other SSRI related court cases around the world. Her first book on the issue was published in 1991. During the last twelve and a half years she has participated in innumerable radio, television, newspaper and magazine interviews. We know of no one with such extensive experience and expertise on all of these issues surrounding the SSRI antidepressants as Dr. Ann Blake Tracy. You can learn a lot about these medications from her latest book on the Prozac family of antidepressants: PROZAC: PANACEA OR PANDORA? (2001). The book is the product of many, many years of intensive research, and the cases of approximately 1,000 patients on a long-term basis.
Dr. Tracy also has an hour and a half long audio tape/CD, “Help! I Can’t Get Off My Antidepressant!,” which explains the safest withdrawal methods from these antidepressants and how to rebuild the body and brain after the use of these drugs. She has spent the last thirteen years working with patients coming off of these antidepressants. That experience has helped her to know much about the serious and very dangerous withdrawal effects and how to avoid those in coming down off the drugs.

Please do a search on this site for Leslie Judd. She wrote her story about being on these drugs for 10 years and I think you will find it very helpful in knowing where to begin. You should also find Merrill Osmond’s story next to her story. He was on these medications for 20 years and has been off now for about a decade now and is doing well.
I am a 40 year old female that has been on antidepressants for 20 years. I am also on benzodiazipines and pain meds. I have a history of clinical depression and anxiety attacks. I don’t really know where to start. Can you help me?
