Mentally Ill man dies in Utah prison after waiting five months for a bed and treatment (receiving neither).

No. My brother got addicted to Lortabs after an injury at work, then proceeded to get prescribed Xanax, Adderall, Oxycontin(to replace lortabs), Fentanyl patches(to replace Oxycontin). He was taking all of these at once, hit the ceiling on each of them, so he started buying extra Xanax, Valium, Oxy, and Adderall illegally. He eventually obtained prescriptions for Klonopin, Lexapro, and another prescription for Lortabs. Adderall and Oxy weren't enough, so he started buying meth and Clonodine to fill in the gaps. On top of all this, he started drinking and smoking weed pretty regularly. Let's tally that up, shall we: Xanax, Lortabs, Oxycontin, Adderall, Fentanyl, Valium, Meth, Klonopin, Lexapro, Clonodine, Alcohol, and weed. Only two of those are illegal. He was prescribed several very addictive legal drugs at once, and the result was a 5 year period of severe addiction. He's now shakey, extremely emotionally unstable, obsessed with conspiracy theories, and barely able to work. Fuck the useless doctors that prescribed him all of that shit at once.
