Anna Nicole Was On Weight Loss Medications
HOLLYWOOD, Fl. (March 26, 2007) – The diet pill industry is set to be rocked by a coroner's announcement earlier today that model and TrimSpa spokeswoman Anna Nicole Smith was on a host of prescription drugs including weight loss medication, when she died last month.
"As background information we knew that Miss Smith suffered back pain and was prescribed Methadone," Broward County Coroner Joshua Perper told the media during a press conference set up to reveal the results of Smith's autopsy. "In addition to that she was taking a number of anti-anxiety drugs and weight reducing drugs, human growth hormones."
Among the drugs in Smith's system at the time of her death included Topamax. Perper said either Human growth hormone or B12 had been injected into her buttocks days before her death.
Topamax is a drug generally used to treat seizures and migraines. A side effect in some patients can be a loss of taste.
Access Hollywood has learned that studies on Topamax have revealed that when the medication is taken in higher doses of 100 MG or more, it can produce weight loss effects.
Human growth hormone has also been shown to produce weight loss in studies.
Calls to Trimspa were not returned at press time but a statement from the company is expected later today.
Prior to her death, Smith was gearing up to take part in a contest to help TrimSpa find a new spokesperson.

There is not one thing in the autopsy that indicates ANY problem with her back.
I've been wondering what happened to the TrimSpa guy; I guess we have our answer.
"As background information we knew that Miss Smith suffered back pain and was prescribed Methadone,"
Rigghhhht. Because Methadone is commonly prescribed for back pain.
Can't wait to hear Mr. TrimSpa spin the weight loss drugs.
