Corey Haim -- Vicodin, Valium, Soma Found Posted Mar 11th 2010 1:50PM by TMZ Staff, NTVLand
TMZ has learned the four pill bottles found in the apartment where Corey Haim collapsed yesterday included the generic versions of Vicodin and Valium ... and the same doctor prescribed all 4 powerful meds just days before Haim died.
Law enforcement sources tell us the pill bottles retrieved in the apartment of Haim's mother are hydrocodone (Vicodin), diazepam (Valium), haloperidol (an antipsychotic med) and Soma (a muscle relaxer).
We're told all four meds were prescribed by a prominent Los Angeles psychiatrist. Sources say all four meds were prescribed the same day -- several days before Haim died.
The L.A. County Coroner's Office would not comment on the specific meds found, nor would officials say how many pills -- if any -- were missing from the bottles.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe Haim died from an accidental overdose of meds, though nothing is final until the Coroner's toxicology reports are in.
There have been reports Haim admitted in the past to taking as many as 85 Valium pills a day.
Haim collapsed in his mother's apartment early yesterday and was pronounced dead 2 1/2 hours later.

not unless there was tylenol mixed in.
Hydrocodone, as a stand alone, is not available for prescription in the US.

You call this excessive (Michael Jackson's drugs were "excessive")? I hope you never have any serious health issues then. Four prescriptions, two of which are frequently prescribed together is *far* from excessive.
