What kind of drug did Marilyn Monroe take before she died?

Answer 1

These are the prescriptions that can absolutely be confirmed that she took in her last three months: ( I have copies of all the original prescriptions)

June 7 1962----Chloral Hydrate, #100/Librium #50/Valmid #50

(This is the date Greenson allegedly almost broke her nose)

.

June 8 1962----- Librium #50

June 15 1962---Parvate #100

June 18 1962---Percodan #24

June 27 1962---Lomotil #24

July 1 1962-----Dexedrine #12

July 5 1962--filled order #11589 at San Vicente Pharmacy. Still researching what that was.

July 10 1962---Librium #100/ Valmid #50/ Seconal #25/ Tuinal #25

July 17 1962--- Redisol #36/ Hydrozets #24/ Sulfa Gum/ Darvon #24

July 25 1962--- Chloral Hydrate #50/ Sulfathallidine #36

July 31 1962----Chloral Hydrate #50

August 3 1962---Nembutal #25/ Unidentified barbiturates #36/ Phenergan #25

Now, as to what these prescriptions were for:

Chloral Hydrate: a sedative and hypnotic drug used as an anesthetic and sleep aid

Librium: A sedative and hypnotic benzodiazapene tranquilizer.

Valmid: Sedative/hypnotic used for insomnia. Not effective after seven days

Percodan: pain reliever that is a combination of aspirin and oxycodone

Lomotil: diarrhea medication that is chemically related to another opioid

Dexedrine: a psychostimulant amphetamine

Seconal: an anesthetic, hypnotic, sedative barbiturate

Tuinal: a sedative comprised of two barbiturates- secobarbital sodium (Seconal) and amobarbitol sodium

Hydrozets: throat lozenges

Redisol: Injectable b-12 vitamins

Sulfa Gum: for sore throat

Darvon: opiate pain medication that has since been banned

Sulfathallidine: pain relief/anesthetic

Nembutal: Pentobarbital. Anesthetic sedative

Phenargan: heavy sedative.

Remember: every last one of these were prescribed by her doctor. By ONE doctor. Marilyn suffered from anxiety, insomnia, and endometriosis, which is what these pills were for, but her doctor should have been charged with medical malpractice and negligent homicide for prescribing them in these amounts. Dr Engelberg always denied prescribing Marilyn chloral hydrate ( just watch him speak on YouTube) yet this prescription he wrote her sold at Juliens auction in 2011. So it seems everyone involved had a reason to lie.

Answer 2

Marilyn Monroe's autopsy report stated that Nembutal, Seconal, and Chloral Hydrate were found in her system, and listed as the drugs that caused her death. Nembutal is a sleeping pill used to treat insomnia. Seconal is also used to treat insomnia. However, it is used more to help someone stay asleep as opposed to falling asleep. While Marilyn had prescriptions for those two drugs, none of her doctors admitted to prescribing her Chloral Hydrate, which is also a sedative.

It was assumed that Marilyn overdosed while by herself. It is not known whether the overdose was done on purpose or by accident. However, speculation remains to this day whether or not Marilyn really did kill herself, or if her death was the result of a more sinister plot.

Answer 3

The official cause of Monroe's death was classified, by Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroners office, as "acute barbiturate poisoning", which he recorded as a "probable suicide". Eight milligram percent of chloral hydrate and 4.5 milligram percent of Nembutal were found in her system after the autopsy.Her death was classified as "probable suicide," but because of a lack of evidence, investigators could not classify her death as suicide or homicide. As a side note, toxicology tests revealed that Monroe also had a slight iron deficiency in her blood.

Answer 4

It looks more likely that she was given an overdose of sleeping tablets, and got rid off. Years later Eunice Murrey admitted Bobby Kennedy was there that night , the situation became very sticky and the protectors of robert kennedy had to step in. Not sure murder was the intent but Marilyn was given an overdose by some means and then a cover up began to explain her death.

Answer 5

by the 1962 stantadards the medicine she overdose on were not sleeping pills they were barbiturates. No where I am able to find the especific name of it. it was not only one. it was several barbiturates that she allegedly took. to this day some people think she was murdered for various reasons. I share the same reasoning. I posted in the related links box below the wikiepeida article on the death of Marilyn Monroe.

Answer 6

MM supposedly overdosed on the powerful narcotic Nembutal because she was depressed and despondent after being fired by 20th Century Fox. She is alleged to have taken 47 Nembutal capsules, but there was no water glass found in her bedroom, and no residue in her stomach. (If she had taken only a dozen capsules there would have been residue). Her autopsy report states that her colon was purplish and swollen, which could indicate an enema containing the drugs. She could have taken the enema or it could have been forced on her. MMs autopsy report is on the internet and makes for interesting reading.

Answer 7

According to Wikipedia "The toxicology report shows high levels of Nembutal (38-66 capsules) and chloral hydrate (14-23 tablets) in Monroe's blood. The level found was enough to kill more than 10 people"

Answer 8

She died of an overdose of benadir a highly strong liquid becareful they sell it in stores

Answer 9

Was it diazapam.
