Britney Spears’ Weakness Are Prescription Drugs

_britdrugtest.jpg

Last week, TMZ had a story claiming that Britney tested positive for drugs. A Brit source now says, “The only thing that comes on the results are the prescriptions, that the court doctor prescribed. There has been no illegal drugs or even alcohol in any of the test results.”

And even though Britney is seeing a shrink as a part of her custody battle, there are reports that drug tested result was due to the use of Provigil, a prescription to treat narcoleptic patients. However, Britney only gets tested for generic drugs, so there is no special screening for Provigil.

The interesting part is that all of Britney’s previous tests came back negative, and she had been using Provigil during that time as well.

Jane, I hate to break this to you, but you are a tard your self. Can you even read? Why would “britards” as you say deny that she’s not testing positive for illegal drugs? Actually it’s the hater-tards like your self that have gotten to the point where not only do are they dumb enough to believe everything the fake news throws them, but they don’t even bother to read the articles before commenting. It’s like, Oh, it’s Britney, better write something hateful and go to the next article. Grow a brain, Jane! (and go on a diet!, lol)

“Oh, it’s Britney, better write something hateful and go to the next article.” er…no,I dont think that way. I do read, my bedroom has been called a “mini library” sevral times! I do have a brain and I dont need to diet. Perhaps you should take your own advise and get educated and lose the fat ass.

I disagree. If you do read a lot, then your post shows you didn’t even bother to read this article because your post made no sense. And if you didn’t that proves you made your comment based on your biased desire to believe what you want to believe rather than what was being said. I think you should read things before telling people to get an education or accusing people of being retards, or “Britards” as you put it.

Of course you disagree! lol I mean really the chances of you agreeing were zip! im not that biased, i was a fan of hers once. I’d like to belive that most of these stories about her are false, however her actions (media whore) speak louder than words and right now I’d belive almost anything about her. I dont really care if my post makes sense to you or anybody else for that matter, as long I understand it, I really dont give a shit. You were the one that said i need to “grow a brain”, so i’m saying get educated. Sorry to break it to you but, I dont really care what you think I should or shouldnt do. You see Britshit fans are Britards, they are also “Enablers” and “Pro child abuse”

ROFL!. Nice try to change the subject into something new along with some speculative spin. The main point was that so far no one has proven that her drug test showed that she used an illegal drugs such as cocaine, marijuana etc. Yet you show up assuming something else. It least have the decency to admit you were believing what you wanted to without reading.

If you notice the main subject of the article is about her drug tests vs prescription drugs. NOT about “child abuse”. Yet you are trying to turn it into that in order to win your argument here. My stance is that CRAP writing from TMZ and similar ones are 90% lies and rumors in order to make a buck of idiots who buy into it. That makes me more mad than anything Britney does. I hate liars period! It would be different if TMZ and articles like it were not so fast to make up rumors. Then we’d have something to go on. I figure Brit did some things, but most people can’t even tell which are true. Just a week ago they announced she was doing a duet with Oscar the Grouch on Sesame street. It wasn’t true. Then the pap was supposedly sent to the hospital in screaming pain after his foot got run over. Another lie by TMZ. Getting the picture? I see about 5 or 6 made up articles a week! Then I see these people agreeing with the articles and getting all huffy about it.

So, please tell me how by me not liking lies and rumors I am “pro child abuse”. The thing is you won’t because you can’t and you know it. The problem is you assume that someone who defends a lie is some mindless Britney fan. Some people just prefer the truth instead of a witch hunt.

god, that was so well said. i always thought she was bipolar and now suddenly stories are showing up to that effect. don’t get me wrong, the woman has PROBLEMS, needs help, but the media has turned this into a witch hunt. a lot of people on this blog would say i was trying to turn them into morality police when i pointed out the crap behavior of many other celeb parents, but the point was you can’t vilify one person and then let everyone else have a free pass. if you’re advocating for kids, great, but letting your hatred of a person determine everything is ridiculous. the media has always been on her, and certainly she does some dumbass things, but she is not much worse than most. we put her on a pedestal as a teenager and now we’re trying to not only knock her off, but kill her while doing so. no one thinks a thing of pamela anderson downing BOTTLES of champage and lapdancing various men in public while marrying them after a month, but britney is stoned for her errors. it’s very shirley jackson. i think she can be an ass, but so can so many others that i wonder why she is singled out. ergo, the witchhunt. i come here on and off- a month or so has gone by, and it’s all the same. blah blah y’all blah blah ding dang blah blah i hate britney. carolina, you better hope no one puts microscopic judgment on you like you put on her. yes, she’s screwing up. why make it personal?

Thanks Jenn. You made many good points. It’s a shame they typically vilify one or two people but that’s the way the do it. Unfortunately, once it turns into a witch hunt, it no longer matters if the stories are exaggerated or even made up. People have their popcorn and want to be entertained with any news, real or not. And I agree. She does do dumb things, but the media makes it seem much dumber than what it is in reality. If they’d show only the truth you would find only a few negative things about her, but they’d have little to write on. In order to keep their stories going they must invent new ones each week. If I don’t read any of it for 3 months and come back, it will be all new stories. Yet people will think it’s all stuff she did rather than question that maybe some of it never happened. But that’s the life of tabloid writers and gossip blogs. They will do what they do.

Nobody should draw conclusions based on what either sources say. All we know is that she has tested clean each time she has taken her test. Narcotics can stay in your urine sample from anything up to 3-15 days. Do you honestly believe that if Britney had taken any illegal substances that she would go in for her drugs test? It’d be safer for her to make something up and not go. Also it is unlikely that after 12 or so testings, each of them testing negative for narcoticsAND alcohol, that one would turn out positive. The judge is very biased in this case and completely admissive. Gordon ruled that Britney was a habitual and frequent drug and alcohol user on one witness testimony, which he never mentioned in court for questioning. Alsohe took away custody from Britney because her driver’s liscence was not yet valid! Why wasn’t it valid? Because she never (for some reason) had her picture taken for the californian liscence. It was clearly a mistake on Britney’s behalf as she had been driving with the same liscence for 4 years! Now if you ask me, and many others, you will find that having an invalid drivers liscence (un-beknown to you) and driving with your children as you have for 2 or so years, does not make you ilegible to look after your children? Also i believe that if the court was thinking in the best interests of the babies, that he would have a court appointed monitor with kevin throughout days and nights when he has the children. All i can say is i am biased to not believe this positive test, as haters will be biased to believe it.

yes yes i do honestly believe that she would go into a drug test with drugs in her system. I actually think that she was avoiding the tests all together till the drugs did leave her system and she is just bad at math. Dont even make the defense that it is a prescription drug. Half our nation is addicted to “legal” drugs. Jelly your not biased your in denial. Furthermore k-fed has not given the judge a reason to appoint a monitor.Can you think of one??? Other than just being a total tool??? Of course you dont believe that brit is on drugs because if you did you would have to face up to the fact that the “haters”(or people that face the reality of it all)are right. You would also have to admit that your idol is not only a 2 bit filthy whore who abuses children but also a drug addict. I think it is time for JELLY AND ALL BRIT SUPPORTERS TO THROW IN THE TOWEL. SHE IS A FUCK UP!!!!

I wouldn’t care if you were “right”, and you’re basing your facts on rumours, but that just highlights your willingness to believe the worst in people. There’s absoloutley nothing wrong with hoping that somebody doesn’t use drugs and believing that, it’s human nature to want the best (in most sane people). Britney had given no reason either apart from tabloid speculation which is apparently very relevent in this case. I’m talking about giving him a monitor to see what he is like as a parent. The judge based his decision to withdraw custody from Britney on the fact her drivers liscence was invalid, that is absoloutley no way to determine whether somebody is a fit parent or not, surely!
P.S. I have no towel to throw in, it’s not a battle, there’s no audience, it’s called a discussion you usually deal with them once in a while during life.

I could swear the reason she lost custody was for undisclosed reasons. After that all the brohaa started with the invalid license. We don’t know what happened to cause the loss of custody.

It’s fairly obvious why she lost custody, she is profoundly mentally ill.

Jelly–If you think that Brit has done nothing to deserve such scrutiny, then you aren’t paying attention! Forget what anyone writes, just look at the video clips of how she conducts her daily life. It just isn’t possible for everyone else to be wrong and Brit and her few fans to know The Real Truth, not when there is actual visual evidence of much that she is being accused of. As for why she lost her kids, it wasn’t because she didn’t have a license…that was just one issue addressed by the courts and was specifically addressing whether or not she could drive with her children in the car. The issue was not that she didn’t have a picture on her license. It was that she was driving on a Louisiana License because she couldn’t be bothered to go get a CA license, just like she can’t be bothered to get a license plate for her car!!!
Why wouldn’t she just skip the screening if she knew she would pee dirty? Because that was she was called on just a few days ago–ignoring the calls from the lab–and she knows that it is no longer a viable option. The judge won’t give her another opportunity to use that excuse.
As biased as you accuse others of being, you are clearly demonstrating your willingness to believe anything that comes from the revolving door of Britney’s camp. In order for Brit to not be the person that she is made out to be, everyone who has ever said something about her (including her family, friends, former friends/employees, random strangers on the street, hotel staff etc.) must be lying. And for that to be true then there must be some kind of Global ‘Get Britney’ Conspiracy. If you believe that, then there is no getting through to you!

“Dont even make the defense that it is a prescription drug.”

What has it gotten to the point now that no one is allowed to defend Britney anymore? Yes, let’s just believe and assume everything the garbage news writes is real. I don’t know about you, but I REFUSE to believe just anything some gossip blog prints. Maybe I should say, don’t even make the accusation that it’s illegal drugs when she hasn’t tested for an illegal drug ONE SINGLE TIME! Sure, you said she’s waiting until it’s out of her system, but others say it’s not enough time for that. I will admit it’s a possibility, but at this point I will NOT assume guilt. That’s typically what a Britney hater does.

And before you come back and accuse me of being some mindless Brintey fan, I’m not. 85% of everything printed in these articles are lies and/or exaggerations. That can be backed up with 100% proof as well. Example, 2 weeks ago some articles said the paparazzi with his foot run over was rushed to the hospital in agonizing pain. Bull Sh*t! The true video shows him saying he’s fine. Another article said she’d do a duet with Oscar the Grouch on Sesame street. 100% false! There are dozens more examples. When you get to the point where you realize most of these are not true, you will be on your way to understanding the reality of gossip blogs.

I agree she’s doing some dumb things, but then again, some of the dumb things we read about NEVER happened. You do realize that don’t you? If not, you aren’t paying close enough attention. But whether or not she’s an idiot was besides the original point of whether there was 100% proof she did illegal drugs. I’d rather stick to the point.

I know I am the last person you want to hear from but what the hell, I’m entitled to voice. Yes, it would have been safer to make an excuse, but she has used up that option. Her children were taken away by the courts for and “undisclosed” reason, as it should be. We will probably never know what the actual reason was but it must have been a good one. Kevin has never given reason, while having the children, to have a monitor. My bias towards the children, Britney and Kevin are adults and can take care of themselves, unfortunately the commissioner has the dirty task of deciding the fate of Sean and Jayden. I know you won’t agree with me, but I believe he has their best interest at heart.

? Why would you be the last person i want to hear from. I don’t “want” to hear from anyody and i don’t not want to lol. Britney has never given reason to have a court appointed monitor. She didn’t need one in the first ruling so what changed in the emergency hearing? The judge was pissed because Britney drove without a valid liscence (although she didn’t know she was) when he told her not to, this is total bias towards kevins legal team, who apear to be much stronger than Britney’s. I believe he believes that he has the best interest of the children at heart, but whether his actions say differently prove otherwise. Taking away a child from his/her mother should NEVER happen unless under extreme cirumstances, and it is disrespectful to others who are in those circumstances to label britney’s situation as bad! There’s always going to be opposing views in the world, there are still freakin Nazi’s about FFS!

You said it yourself, extreme circumstances. As I said she lost custody because of “undisclosed” reasons, as it should be, undisclosed. You or I don’t know what the reason was and probably never will know the true reason. She was ordered a monitor, due to this reason so she would be able to visit with them. I agree whole heartedly, no child should lose a parent by any means. But if their safety is at risk, something needs to be done and only Britney, the lawyers and the commish know that for sure.

Comment by Jelly
2007-11-12 14:41:01

The files were “undisclosed” or w.e you call them, but TMZ, however they have it, have the actuall report stating that because Britney chose to defy the judges orders she had her custody removed. Although she should be punished in some way, but that is a little to extreme.

Jelly–
I think that you are talking about the Temporary Custody Order that occured after the original custody order in which custody was suspended for a couple of days? Because that was the only time that her failure to obtain a CA license had any real impact on her custody (this was after TMZ video of her driving after the first court decision said to get a license). Is that the “she got her kids taken away because she didn’t have a license” that you are talking about? Well read the order again…there were several of the courts orders that Brit chose to ignore (including, for not the last time, providing a working number to the lab–clearly her way of avoiding the tests). It wasn’t the fact that she didn’t get the license per se, it was the contempt that she showed the court by ignoring it’s rulings. I have dealt with many, many moms who lose their children and the one thing that shows me who really wants their kids back–the ones who do comply with every single court order, to the letter and in a timely fashion. Those who don’t make excuses like “Judge, you just aren’t a pop star. Pop stars don’t get up early enough to drug test at 8:00 am. If she really wanted to prove her fitness as a mother, she would get up in the middle of the night and drop EVERYTHING to prove it. She doesn’t. WHY????

Info on Provigil

“Provigil is a memory-improving and mood-brightening psychostimulant. It enhances wakefulness and vigilance, but its pharmacological profile is notably different from the amphetamines, methylphenidate (Ritalin) or cocaine. Provigil is less likely to cause jitteriness, anxiety, or excess locomotor activity - or lead to a hypersomnolent ‘rebound effect’ - than traditional stimulants. Subjectively, it feels smoother and cleaner than the amphetamines too. It may even be anxiolytic. The normal elimination half-life of Provigil in humans is between 12 - 15 hours.”

It can also interfere with oral contraceptions apparently.

Comment by Baby Jane Rocks
2007-11-12 15:19:39

some more info:

“Studies have shown that Provigil can help people beat cocaine addition. It’s not a magic pill by any means, and in trials it was effective for some patients in conjunction with behavioral therapy.

Why does Provigil help? Provigil enhances brain levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Repeated cocaine use has been shown to deplete glutamate levels. By increasing the levels, Provigil may work at the core of the craving for the drug.

What if you need to treat cocaine addiction? Provigil is not a standard therapy (yet). Treatment experts may not be used to it and may prefer other methods. However, any doctor can prescribe Provigil for any reason he or she deems legitimate.

A recent study at UCLA showed that some medications, including Provigil, could be useful in methamphetamine treatment.”

OK — the drug screen does not test specifically for provigil, but what if it does test for its generic equivalent, which is called modafinil? Say, someone wants to put things in a bad light for Spears, they could say, oh, yeah, there was a positive but it wasn’t for provigil. Isn’t this fiendishly clever? And, then, whisper, very quietly, when people were already loudly twittering that Spears had failed — sshhh, it was called a negative test because it was considered a false positive. The reason it was a false positive, everyone, is because it was positive for the generic equivalent of a prescription medicine Spears had acknowledged she took.

Wendy–
Drug tests don’t even test for anything that specific. The court probably uses a 10-screen in this case that test for: Cannabinoids (Marijuana, Hashish,)Cocaine (Cocaine, Crack, Benzoylecognine), Opiates (Heroin, Opium, Codeine, Morphine),Amphetamines (Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Speed), Phencyclidine (PCP, Angel Dust),Barbituates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Pentobarbital, Butalbital, Amobarbital),Methaqualone (Qualuudes),Benzodiazepines (Tranquilizers-Diazepam, Valium, Librium, Ativan, Xanax, Clonopin, Serax, Halcion, Rohypnol),Methadone and Propoxyphene.
They could also test for Hallucinogens, inhalants and alcohol.
If there is a positive for any of those, then they run a more specific test to see exactly what the substance is.
If she peed positive, then one of those things is in her system. Prescription drugs are listed on the screen form so that the lab knows what they can ignore. I don’t know what category, if any, Provigil would cause to show positive, but they would immediately rule that as a non-positive result if that was the drug that showed up.

Is it? I can’t imagine how a stimulant would help mania in any way. What I read about it indicated that it was used for narcolepsy and a couple other sleep disorders. I’d be interested to know if it is a possible treatment for bipolar disorder, though.

If Britney needs Provigil, it is because she is a drug addict…and is having side effects from her other illegal drug use. And please, none of you can tell me ANYTHING about Provigil, I TAKE IT! I have narcolepsy and that is what Provigil is mainly used for. I do believe they have been testing it in use for other conditions, but I seriously doubt they will be using it for bipolar disorder, UNLESS it is a short-term prescription to help the person get out of the severe depressive phase. I have also seen it prescribed to ex-heroin addicts who are on methadone, because methadone is a very strong drug that makes people very drowsy, so Provigil can help with that. However, I do not see Shiatney as an opiate addict…the behavior is not there. She is addicted to something like cocaine or crystal meth, it is obvious from her behavior, her looks, and just everything about her. Opiate addicts just do not act like that, no matter how bad they are..well, at least not people who are ONLY hooked on opiates. So please, if you know nothing about Provigil, do not use it to try and defend your gross, ugly, fat POS idol, OK? I know you people are really reaching, but just…chill out, OK?
