Definitely fake. Said "Nicks, Stevie" on it. And I have 4 pics of the real bottles and they all say her actual name, "Nicks, Stephanie". Just like when I saw some old anti-depressants Dolly Parton was prescribed, and they say "Dean, Dolly" since that's her real legal name (she got married 46 yrs ago and changed her last name to her husband's). And the way Marilyn Monroe's pill bottles say "Mrs. Miller" only on it (as she was married to Arthur Miller at the time). They wouldn't put Stevie's nickname/stage-name on a pill bottle.
Also, whatever the mg number was on it ended in 5. Meaning it was 5mg or .5mg. 5mg of klonopin doesnt exist. 2mg is the highest one can get. And she was on exactly that towards the end.
So the verdict is the bottles were stage props

No wonder she was such a mess, she was taking Lortab & Klonopin, she's lucky to be alive.

If she was put on it as a mood stabilizer or to combat anxiety, it was being used correctly, at least at first. Lots of people become addicted to prescription drugs - sometimes the physician is partially at fault, sometimes he/she is not.

Klonopin is not supposed to be taken that long, certainly not on a regular basis. And the way he just kept upping the dose. And to not realize it had become a problem for her. This physician was at fault.

I love your detective work! And you are right on, 2mg is the highest dose and it is white and the blue ones are 1mg!

And there is a psychiatrist in Beverly Hills who is 71 and has the last name Metzner!

And it looks like he's mentioned in the TOSOTM liner notes, being thanked for his "extraordinary compassion."

This subject was discussed in detail a few years back. Someone said the pill bottles were removed from her trash/rubbish collection. If that was true then you have to come to the conclusion that whoever removed them must of been someone, either, living or working in the house at the time.

I agree on that.

But I don't think so. There are people who look for celebrity garbage. So, it could have been the garbage man. He could probably sell interesting finds. He could have done it or someone completely unknown to the household.

yea I've built up this tolerance for 8 years, but Glenn take exactly what I take. And what the hell throw in a glass of wine and a joint.

You know, I've thought about this since the show aired, and I have to agree with you. Especially when you consider that this guy, Glenn, is the one who just recently lost his son to some kind of drug/alcohol overdose. It's just not funny to joke about getting high and mixing drugs and passing out, regardless of the fact that in this case she was talking about prescription drugs (tho mixed with pot and alcohol). I don't want to start a big flame war or anything, but it realllly makes me wonder about some of these people's parenting choices and what some of these kids in this circle of people have been exposed to (unnecessarily). It made me think how smart Lori was to give up her career and raise her kid full-time and keep her eye on what she got exposed to. YMMV

Well, it's funny, I was thinking about this last night too. I was thinking that Glenn certainly DID dance with the devil.

Marie Osmond was telling a story about her son that committed suicide and she said his problems started when he and his teenaged friends would just get all the drugs (prescription) out of their parents' medicine cabinets and throw them in a pile and then take turns taking the drugs, just to see what happened. They didn't even pay attention to what the drugs were. I think Marie said this "game" had a name. I don't remember what it was, but ... russian roulette, baby.

But there was something cute I forgot to mention about the interview. Stevie said that in Lindsey's version of the story she kissed him after California Dreaming. I have heard Lindsey describe their meeting, but he didn't throw in that part. I think he says all of their early encounters ended with a kiss just to get her goat sometimes

. Very precious.

I wouldn't say that Lori gave up her career to raise her child..when she came "back" to touring in 2005, her child was definitely not an adult and definitely not leading a "by the book" lifestyle.
