TMZ.com is reporting. An investigator's notes also indicated that the bedroom nightstands held "large amounts" of medication prescribed to Murphy, her husband, mother and "unidentified third party names." The drugs included Topamax, an anti-seizure drug that prevents migraines; Methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory; Fluoxetine, which treats depression; Klonopin and Ativan, both anti-anxiety meds; Carbamazepine, which treats diabetic symptoms and bipolar disorder; Ativan, an anxiety med; the pain relievers Vicoprofen and Hydrocodone; Propranolol, used to treat hypertension, and to prevent heart attacks; the antibiotic Biaxin and vitamins. The notes say, "No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered."

Murphy seemed happy in public, but friends say she battled "inner demons," including body image issues. She looked thin and frail in her final public appearance, left, on Dec. 3, which led to the return of rumors that she suffered from drug abuse and/or eating disorders. "Brittany seemed sick for a while," a friend told E!Online. Besides her weight, "She made a few lifestyle choices that had her friends concerned. But it doesn't look like many people did anything about it," the friend said. In 2005, Murphy denied rumors that she used cocaine, saying, "I have never tried it in my entire life. I've never even seen it … It couldn't be further from the truth." The same year, she denied reports that she had an eating disorder. "I'm the same size I was in 'Clueless,' it's just that the weight in your face changes as you grow and get older," she said. "This is my body. I'm proud of it … I'm healthy."

TMZ reports that Murphy did have a will, written before she met her husband, Simon Monjack. The will leaves her estate to her mother, Sharon Murphy. The house Brittany owned was held in trust, which was created before she met Monjack, so TMZ reports he is not listed on the title

These are all tolerable ~ the problem is they are the wrong treatment for a diabetic with acute Scandinavian intermitent porphyria.

The doctor was simply treating symptoms as they came up.

The bipolar medication is what triggered my statement.

Fluoxetine is Prozac I think.
