However, a source close to the investigation has revealed to NEWSWEEK that
authorities found six drugs with European prescriptions in Ledger's
apartment: Zopiclone, Diazepam, Lormetazepam, Temazepam, Alprazolam and
Donormyl-doxylamine. One was an antihistamine and the other five were
either
sleeping aids (similar to Ambien) or anti-anxiety drugs (similar to
Valium).
All of these medications depress the central nervous system--which can
lead
to death if taken in the wrong quantities or combinations, explains Edward
Langston, M.D., a pharmacist and chair of the American Medical
Association's
board of trustees. "You just fall asleep and stop breathing if you take
too
much for you."
