Michael Jackson took more than 10 Xanax pills a night, "asking his employees to get the prescription sleep medicine under their names and also personally traveling to doctor's offices in other states to obtain them," according to CNN.
The bombshell reports comes from a 2004 Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department document that contains confidential interviews with two of Jackson's former security guards. The interviews were conducted as officials prepared for the singer's 2005 child molestation trial.

Ahhhh....makes sense...Xanax pills are white...
I can't imagine that being bad for you...
</sarc>
A weirdo and a druggie and he’s allowed to have those kids!! You and I would be in jail.
Jackson was dead man moonwalking.
I’m sure the state run media will treat MJ’s addiction the same way they did Rush’s.
Some talking head was reporting last night that he was taking 80 vicodins a day. That’s pretty hard to believe.
10 Xanax? I guess the breathy speaking voice wasn’t a put on.
Jackson’s was a drug addict - one more reason for the MSM to worship him...
No, some random racist white guy SHOVED 10 xanax down his throat every night.
Larry King last night said that MJ was up to 30-40 a night at one point during his addiction, Janet tried a family intervention but he stopped them at the mansion gate.
Wow, what a magnificent role model and black activist.
That stuff is addicting. No wonder he was a freak.
10 isn’t all that much once the person develops a tolerance to them. My A-manager was up to 40 a day! I threatened him with termination, and he still kept at it..
The only thing that helps is an intervention once a person becomes addicted to them. I still cannot fathom how a Dr can prescribe any pain killers for more than 2 months. They are among the worst drugs on the market if abused.
OTOH, the “king of pop” is a POS.
“Wasn’t nothing wrong with your daddy.”
“The interviews were conducted as officials prepared for the singer’s 2005 child molestation trial.”
So why didn’t they seek prosecution for that, too? Or do only regular folks get busted for that sort of thing?
You’re bad.
I got prescribed Xanax awhile back. Doc screwed up, overprescibed Xanax for insomnia when a Tylenol PM would have been (and was, I self-medicated later) just fine.
Anyhoo, one Xanax absolutely screwed up my system so much that it scared the hell out of me. I tried it for a couple of nights, wound up throwing the rest away. I can't imagine what 10 would do to a person.
FWIW, Xanax is an excellent "happy pill". You don't really care about very much....getting up to go to work, getting dressed, house is on fire, etc etc etc. Everything just kinds of slides off.
