Grant Hackett.

OK he's admitted he has a continuing addiction to stillnox, he's just returning after 5 weeks in a treatment facility in America.

He has admitted this addiction publicly, has fought to overcome this addiction, stillnox can only be obtained with a prescription from a Doctor, so, why would he still be prescribed this addictive medication after going public about his addiction????

[freddie*rooster]

He was interviewed leaving America, he said he wanted to help anyone else suffering addiction, if he is serious about helping I wonder why he isn't speaking out about the Doctor who keep prescribing these medication's to him.

[*crikey*mate*]

Is it possible that he doctor shopped and got the scripts from more than one doctor?

I think stillnox is the sleeping tablet where some people experience sleep walking and all sorts of things.

Is he still being prescribed stilnox, though?

[freddie*rooster]

Yes stillnox is the prescription drug which causes disturbing oddities whilst still asleep, like eating, driving a car.

He went public about his addiction a couple of years ago when he split from his wife after a brawl in their home, where he smashed up furniture.

Someone like Grant Hackett couldn't go to a Doctor for this type of medication as Jo Bloggs, he's too well known to escape recognition.

Bluey, he left Australia for America 5 weeks ago after a strange and suspicious incident at a Hotel whilst he had access with his twins, he was photographed wandering around the Hotel foyer naked with his singlet covering his jewels. The claims were one of his children had gone missing from their hotel room

I believe that stilnox has been prescribed for athletes for along time to help them with jetlag etc by sports doctors. I  don't think it is as easy to doctor shop as it used to be due the computerisation that now takes place at pharmacies.

When I was in a psych hospital, many patients were prescribed stilnox by the shrinks.

It wasn't a claim, but a fact, one child was missing, in that situation most people would rush out in their pjs...or the first thing to hand.

security found the child.

(I was there at the time)

You have to wonder how on earth a 4yr old in a strange hotel room would know how to unlock a door, which you would think would have a dead lock on it.

Yes, stillnox was apparently widely used by swimmers competing in the Commonwealth and Olympic games.

[amber-eyed-girl]

if this was your family,  would you want unfounded speculation in public? From strangers?

how do you know the door was locked?

with a deadlock?

have you stayed there?

please do not speculate on the circumstances.

for this to happen (and it did), to anyone, would be a terrible thing.

i cannot even come close to imaging how awful that would be.
