Betty Ford is a chemical dependency rehab , and it would be highly unethical for her to go into specifics about her treatment,a and in fall River 70s rock never died so it make sense that they would reference her

It's OK. No hard feelings. And I am sorry for getting defensive.

I absolutely hate it when internet articles are set up as slide shows and rarely finish reading them when they are, but I clicked on this one about prescription medications to beware of, and the first slide is Klonopin. I can't tell you what the rest are LOL.

My step son was on Kolonipin for anxiety and he said he was never addicted and it worked great. He is having some anxiety issues again due to afib and he asked his new doctor for it and the doctor said no it is too addicting.
He's mad because he said he never abused the drug and it worked great for him. So I think that's the problem. It's how it's used. I love Stevie, but she abused it. But it should never have been prescribed to her. The doctor knew she had been addicted to cocaine. I'm sure Stevie was very scared and anxious about her new drug free life and going back on the road with all the temptations, although she says she was fine, it was those around her who thought she should seek help. It was a mess all the way around. Thank God she made it through.

I think people forget that the normal dose is .05mg - 1mg TID [Three Times A Day] and Stevie was taking up to 12mg several times a day. Stevie's experiences with this medication is not normal so people need to understand that before classifying this med as "horrible". I've been a RN for 24 years Klonopin, if given at recommended doses, works well. This is a classic example of rich people and/or celebrities being able to find doctors that will prescribe anything they want. A doctor who prescribed Stevie 12mg of Klonopin over 6 times a day should have lost his license. Last edited by ahafan02; 12-18-2017 at 06:49 PM.. |

I personally think it's very irresponsible for Stevie, or any celebrity/individual with no training in the medical field, to make broad statements about a drug based solely on their experience. I know several people on Klonopin who have no issues with it, and no issues with addiction. It's important to remember that people like Stevie who have addictive personalities, could have problems with many drugs that other people benefit from. Everyone is different. It's different to just say "hey, that drug was bad news for me" than to say "If your doctor tells you to take this drug, you should run screaming from his office".

Stevie was drinking too. Cocaine wasn't her only issue in 1986. I know she's said in interviews "...and I'm not an alcoholic!" but unfortunately I've encountered way WAY too many "I'm not an alcoholic" alcoholics in my life.
Cocaine might be the thing that got all the Betty Ford press, but ask anyone who saw some of the RAL tour live in '86 and they'll probably tell you their impression was of a messy alcohol intoxicated woman, and not a sped-up coke head. I even remember a 'Tango' radio special where Tony Pigg even says Stevie recently got out of Betty Ford for alcohol and drugs before interviewing her. She didn't refute it obviously, because it made it to the broadcast. Coke is part of her legend. It's the glamorous/not-so-glamorous story that she likes to tell. Booze isn't as glamorous |
