Thank you so much for posting these. I have to say though, in some of these, Stevie doesn't look to splendid. Some of them are classic though. Was Stevie in an even more "Klonopinized" state during this tour, compared to OSOTM?

The better-looking pictures are from early in the tour, she was slim and wearing miniskirts, by the end of the tour she gained a lot of weight and was very much "robotized" by the Klonopin, I believe it also had to do with medications she was taking with the Klonopin.

This Klonopinized stuff is bull****. There are 1,000s of people who take it on a daily basis and not walk around in a zombie state. I, myself, have been on Klonopin and never gained an ouce of weight or complained about being sluggish.

Stevie gained weight because she kicked the coke habit, which probably helped her maintain a thin frame all those years.....and probably was robotic due to the same fact.

That is true, and a rather good point. However, I did have a classmate who was on Klonopin. We were talking one day, and I didn't know he had panic issues nor that he was on Klonopin. He then tells me "Man, I hate this new medicine I'm on. It makes me so tired and bored and stuff." I was like "What is it called?" knowing more than like what it was.

He the says "Man, I don't know. Something with a K or something." and then very frankly I said "Klonopin".

I'd hit the nail right on the head.

Also, if you read testemonials on the drug, some people do say that there are negative affects. A friend of my Anatomy teacher last year took Klonopin, and all she wanted to do was lay on the couch all day.

I think sshe took a bunch of other Rx's with the Klonopin and she also took more than the prescribed amount of Klonopin. So, I think it was not just that she was taking the usual amount of Klonopin

Interestingly, she looks bloated during the RAL tour and she was coked out of her head then.

She started gaining serious weight in 1985, before she got clean. But she's always blaming the clonazepam for everything, although once or twice she fessed to taking corticosteroids for asthma or something & complained about the weight gain associated with them. On both of the Fleetwood Mac tours with Vito & Burnette, she admits to having been taking the steroids, so maybe that stuff has a long shelf life inside her body (or she doesn't pee very often) & bloats her up like a decomposing casualty of the Sumatran tsunami.

And then at another time, she claimed she had always (meaning since her teens) had trouble with her weight.
