More on the Psychiatric Drugs Prescribed for Anna Nicole Smith by Her Psychiatrist 'Friend'

Fox 411 has more on the drugs prescribed for Anna Nicole Smith by her claimed 'best friend' psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich:

How many and how much? That’s what people want to know about Anna Nicole Smith’s drug usage. That, and how it might affect her baby daughter, Dannielynn.

A fax obtained exclusively by this column may shed some light on the still mysterious death of the modern-day pin-up model who accomplished nothing so much as getting the most publicity possible for the fewest achievements.

The fax was written and sent by Khristine Eroshevich, Smith’s personal psychiatrist and, since her death, “best friend.”

It’s a request for a laundry list of drugs that Eroshevich wanted sent to the Bahamas by courier for “M. Chase,” the pseudonym Smith used to obtain drugs.

You can see the damning evidence of the Fax in Khristine Eroshevich's own hand here

All of them are classified as different types of painkillers. In addition to the information given below, all of the drugs carry warnings for pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding especially not to take them.

Update: TMZ reports that

Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, tells TMZ, "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

In any case, here is a quick transcription of that fax. Unreadable text is marked by question marks, omitted/whited out text is marked by Xs:
