Brittany Murphy, took Hundreds of Pills per Month prior to Death

A source has erudite Brittany Murphy usual at least 200 tablets every month from January 2008 through August 2009, and sometimes even reached a shocking 400 tablets per month. The source reports, Brittany Murphy used an alias — Lola Manilow Murphy  — at Eddie’s Pharmacy in Los Angeles for nearly two years before the pharmacy finally cut her off 4 months before her unfortunate death.

Pharmacy records show Murphy was getting regular scrips for hydroquinone (Vicodin), clonazepam and Klonopin (anti-anxiety), and Vicoprofen (a Vicodin/ibuprofen combo) — even repetition up on some prescriptions on certain months. An example would be, one month Murphy was prescribed 200 hydrocodone and 100 clonazepam; another month it was 300 Vicoprofen and 100 Klonopin.

All the prescriptions were prescribed by Dr. Richard Kroop. We’re told investigators paid a visit to Kroop on Friday afternoon. As first reported by the source, the owner of Eddie’s Pharmacy said he cut Brittany and her family off 4 months before her death because, “We thought there was going to be an accident there” according to the pharmacy.

Brittany Murphy's widower is suing Warner Brothers over her heartbreaking death

Brittany Murphy's widower is suing Warner Brothers over her heartbreaking death.

Simon Monjack alleges the studio is to blame for Brittany dying last month from a cardiac arrest since just two weeks before her passing they fired her from the sequel to hit cartoon film Happy Feet.

He said: "They killed her. She was shocked ... You're throwaway as an actress or actor.

"I am tough. I litigate when somebody does somewhat wrong to me. That's one of the reasons I make enemies."

Simon also claims his late wife - who was just 32 when she died on December 20 at her Los Angeles home - lost out on many roles because of rumours she was a drug user, even though she never touched illegal substances.

The author - who married Brittany in May 2007 - said in an discussion with website The Daily Beast: "In all the time I've known her, she has never, and I repeat never, done drugs. Not a line of cocaine, not a hit from a joint, nothing. She was anti-drugs. There are no drugs involved.

"The drug rumours made her lose roles, I'm sure. All she wanted to do was to make movies. She was waiting for the role that would revive her career, waiting for the call from Penny Marshall or Guy Fleder, people she had worked with before, that they might remember how talented an actress she was.

"There's always some new girl getting off a bus. In Hollywood, girls like Brittany are disposable."

The writer also denied claims he ruined her career, saying her Hollywood star was dimming before he met her.

Simon believes the film industry is full of people who use young actresses and actors.

He said: "Brittany's films had grossed $100 million before she met me. But her career had ended before then. She had gone through four or five agents by the time we met, and she had made a lot of indies that went straight to video.

"She hadn't earned millions in years, and when we met she was struggling financially, from a series of bad investments. She trusted some people who she shouldn't have. There are people in Hollywood living off of young successful boys and girls and getting them to invest in things they shouldn't."
