All the media attention and information can get me feeling anxious.

My anxiety can get stirred up because I am 52 and he was 50. I hear (wreckless) reporters say things like, "Michael Jackson was on Zoloft and Xanax and that can kill you." I try and use my coping skills but I have a low level of contant anxiety lately.

I have to remind myself that he was also on heavy duty pain killers. I will also assume when word gets out that he was on much higherr doses of Xanax and Zoloft than the normal patient.

oh yeah for sure betsy. he was on a cocktail of drugs but the heart attack was most likely caused by his excessive abuse of demerol. he was a drug addict and died from it. just try to remember that you are on a safe dose of drugs and he should have died from this abuse years ago. he as been doing this for a long time, some say more than a decade. i hope that helps.

I feel badly for Michael-he was talented and I know this must be hard time for his family and
his friends

I heard through the media that he was on a drug
that made his skin turn white! Does that make any
sense and does anyone know what that med is called?

I agree with Memaw of 3. I have only seen snipets of coverage about him and Farrah. Why wallow in it?
