Saying that that is 'different' only adds to the problem. Some people can't face the fact that they are addicted because the meds are 'prescribed' to them. One of the worse drugs to be addicted to is oxycontin and it is a prescribed drug. Prescription drugs are also sold on the street. And again, I'm not saying this was the case with Heath Ledger because I don't know.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply an addiction to prescription drugs is different than any other drug, an addiction is an addiction and just as dangerous if not more so with prescriptions. What I meant, was that the situations are different, as he took the prescriptions in the doses as they were prescribed by his doctors. He didn't take more, so it drives me crazy when I see reports saying it was an overdose, becuase he didn't.
