If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

RIP Chyna

Common assumption is OD. I don't think that's been confirmed yet. She had a tonne of issues, had been in and out of rehab multiple times. Just recently she'd missed a convention she'd meant to go to but I don't think anyone suspected this.

EDIT: To confirm, she didn't miss it because she died, I was trying to say I don't think anyone suspected she was going to die and relapsed that badly.

we're having an influx of wrestlers dying way too young and it's really depressing. i obviously never knew chyna but all sources seem to indicate she had a lot of demons and was a really troubled person in general and i hope if nothing else that she's finally at peace. :(

RIP Chyna

An article I read mentioned she'd been on meds for anxiety and sleep deprivation, so probably an OD. Though, she could've been 'supplimenting' with other drugs or alcohol and the thing went fatal, or she could've said 'screw it' and gobbled them all down.

But then again, in my experience some docs/pharmacists aren't all that competent when it comes to 'oh hey, will these different meds interact and mess you up severely?!'

She was taking a lot of supplements, which people in MMA can tell you there's not a whole lot of regulation and controls over that stuff right now. Mix it with a sleeping aid, anti-depressants, and time, you could end up with an accidental death.

Or she got crossways on her meds and decided to die hosed up.

If TCC has taught me anything, it's that some of the popular prescription sleep aids make it terrifyingly easy to accidentally do things in a total fugue, including taking your sleeping med again thinking you hadn't already :sigh:

My dad is worried about doing this, so he always keeps a single pill of his sleep aid in a bottle next to his bed. That way, if he forgets if he took it, he just checks the bottle. If it's not there, he took it.

I could really see that happening with Chyna if you watched her Youtube videos she was really drowsy and disorientated waking up in the morning.

Also from various accounts she was dealing with being bipolar and/or multiple personality disorder.

Last year my psych prescribed me a med called trazodone as a sleep aid. Said if one pill didn't work, take a second one. Didn't put me to sleep, just messed me up. That, plus taking Lexapro and Welbutrin for depression/anxiety triggered a rare thing called Serotonin syndrome (basically the combo of SSRIs like, overloaded the Serotonin in my system). By the time I wound up in the hospital, the only symptoms I didn't have were seizures and death. Didn't even really realize what was happening because two symptoms were addled thinking and hallucinations.

So, yeah, depending on what combo of medications she was taking, I can understand that even if she was taking them all as prescribed, there could have been a nasty interaction (the possibility of which her prescribing doctor may have overlooked/ignored because it was rare or unlikely).

Would be even shittier if that turns out to be the case, rather than like Heath Ledger just straight up ODing on Rx meds.

Yeah, overlooked, ignored, or been outright ignorant of; GPs inexpertly prescribe mental health meds all the time.

I'm curious how it "messed you up". Was it due to the other meds you were taking or did you have problems with it on its own? I'm asking because I take it and nothing else.

The combination with the other meds. And with messed me up, at first it was just at night, having weird dreams/thinking I was hearing things. I thought it was just because I was in that half-awake/half-asleep state, but then I started getting hand tremors (I shook that off at first because Effexor caused that for me) developed vomiting/diahhrea. By that point I had a few days til a psych appointment, but like I said I'd occasionally go into these addled thinking states and would hallucinate (that there was acid everywhere, that there was an evil force living in my closet, etc.). The last few symptoms ramped up pretty quickly after the slow burn of the feeling groggy/unwell and a little uncoordinated. I remember seeing my psych and telling him I needed to get off the trazadone on a Tuesday afternoon. Next thing I knew I woke up in the ER that night because in the midst of a hallucination that people were trying to chase me out of my apt, I had gone outside, was running up and down my block and beaned myself on a lamppost.

Despite my concerns about it being related to the new med combined with my other meds was ignored by the hospital staff because the Drs kept saying I had 'the worst case of alcohol withdrawal they'd ever seen' and 'not to lie or try to make excuses'.

So, no, Trazadone alone won't do it.

gently caress those staff running if they're treating a patient on psych meds and their go-to is 'clearly this person is an alcoholic'.

I'm pretty sure emergency room doctors deliberately gave my ex-girlfriend medicine she'd told them she was allergic to (she'd had it before and it caused severe nausea) because they thought she was an addict trying to get free drugs.

Yeah which is why I really can't imagine them inducting her into the HoF in any way except just making a brief mention and graphic that she's in it. There's no way they're gonna draw that much attention to the awful things that were going on between them and there's no way they can do it in a way that won't make them look bad
