SARAFEM (PROZAC) & ROBITUSSIN: Brittany Murphy Dies Suddenly: CA

“Let’s set the record straight
once and for all — Brittany was not taking any medication for her mood, for

Investigators found prescription
medication for depression, seizures, anxiety and pain. Monjack told Lauer his
late wife used Vicoprofen and Sarafem during her menstrual cycle. “Most of the

not properly close, but doctors said the actress “would live a long and healthy
life,” Monjack said.
