I agree. The methadone is the crux. And a search for chloral hydrate.
Still, it must have been sheer ignorance (or canniness or neglect) on someone's part to generously give Daniel another SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) when he was already using a different one. Three thoughts come to mind: 1. You cannot mix the 2 SSRIs without worrisome effects; 2. Why would anyone add another SSRI to the mix given the fact that there is no euphoric factor involved; 3. Could Daniel not afford more Lexapro? Why use another's scrip when he simply could have gone to his doctor for more?
I posted the part that says KGG, too. Anyway, my notes are confusing on one of the other drugs that was originally said to be found in Daniel's system.
Originally, they said Ambien was found - *and* that Daniel had a prescription for both Ambien and Lexapro. Then a second look at the autopsy results (I assume this meant Wecht's) found *no* Ambien but uncovered the methadone.
This sounds like Kapoor was treating Daniel, even though he has denied it. ANS said Daniel only had 'scripts from Kapoor - then Kapoor made a public statement denying ever prescribing for Daniel.
So, it's possible ANS lied about that - but it's also possible she was sharing her own Ambien 'script with Daniel. Or, maybe she was sharing Michelle Chase's, lol. I recall posting that I wondered what Daniel's alias was - if Anna was sometimes Wilma Flintstone, was Daniel ever Bambam Rubble?
Anyway, KE *said* that ANS had been taking Ambien (Rte66 note here: could've been from Kapoor's original prescription) and it hadn't been working for her, so KE switched her to chloral hydrate.
Food for thought.
