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.

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.

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.

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

Well, you can give into the side effect, or actually break it.
Drugs have different effects on different people. I'm just coming from my medical background. I pass out Klonopin on a regular basis and see a little weight gain (but not a drastic change like Stevie) and little flat affect...but nothing you can't overcome or get the dosage changed.

Here is what she said about her dosage and medication misadventures:
That's the great thing about Nicks—much of her could have collapsed, but it never did. "Despite the coke, at least I still had a brain—I came out of Betty Ford and I felt capable of fixing this situation. But nobody would leave me alone about it. They told me to go and see a shrink to talk about everything, that I needed to have follow-up treatment. I really wasn't missing the drugs, but I got the name of a doctor from somebody and went to see him. 'I'm here because the world doesn't think I can do it by myself,' I told him. And he put me on a drug called Klonopin, a complex and dangerous derivative of Valium. "I went from two blue pills in the morning to four blue pills; then it was two white pills in the morning and at bedtime. He just kept upping my dose. If I went without it for two days, I would start to shake. I was shaking all the time—shaking so hard that people would look at me. I thought I had Parkinson's. I can honestly say I lost most of my 40s to this drug. It was eight years of my life gone. Your 40s are the last vestige of your youth and mine was ripped away from me by this jerk. One day, I got my assistant to take everything that I took, and I said I would sit with him in case he died. 'I want to see how this affects you,' I told him, 'because I think I'm dying.' So he took it all." She recounts this story as if it was the most normal thing in the world—like Cleopatra might have had her slave taste her food for poison. "He was a very good friend," Nicks goes on. "He was in the middle of setting up my stereo system and he just passed out. So I decided I should get off Klonopin. The doctor said he didn't think it was a good idea. That's what he always said. "I told him I was going into rehab and he said, 'No, I can cut your dose down,' but I had made my mind up. I was in there for 47 days and it made the detox from cocaine look like a walk in the park. My hair turned grey and my skin moulted. I couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't stand up in a shower. I thought I was going to die. But after 47 days I came out shining on the other side. I had a new lease of life. It's been easy for me to stay sober. I could still drink alcohol recreationally because I'm not an alcoholic, but for my menopause I take a drug called Neurontin. It handles the menopause brilliantly, but if you take so much as a nip of tequila it makes you very sick." http://www.stevie-nicks.info/index.p...1&limitstart=1 |

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.
