WTF?Whitney Houston's 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was just rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, TMZ reports.
According to TMZ's sources Bobbi was taken on a stretcher out of the Beverly Hills Hilton, where her mother died yesterday.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ police and fire responded to a call for a medical emergency, but would not confirm who was transported.

Whitney Houston’s death Saturday may have been caused by an accidental drowning — perhaps due to the superstar falling asleep in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton Hotel room after taking a prescription medication to make her relax.
A hotel source told the Sun-Times early Sunday that Houston’s team — including her hairdresser, two bodyguards and her stylist — “were literally hysterical when they realized the singer was dead … as soon as they found her in the tub.”
According to the source, the bodyguard “kept saying over and over and over again, ‘I knew she was dead the second I saw her. I just knew it, I just knew, it.’ ”
Despite that fact, TMZ reported Sunday the bodyguard attempted CPR and, when he didn’t get any response, a call was placed to both hotel security and 911.
While Houston’s long battle with addictions — ranging from cocaine to alcohol and more recently prescription drugs — was well known to both her inner circle and many in the music industry, her death came as a horrible shock to her immediate family.
“Bobbi Kristina [Houston’s daughter] was apoplectic when she arrived at the hotel. … and then she got really abusive when they wouldn’t let her in to see her mom’s body,” said the hotel source. “I can’t say I blame her. But the police were just following procedures.”
The hotel room was sealed until the Beverly Hills Police could finish a complete and thorough sweep of the premises that reportedly included the discovery of various potent medications including Lorazepam, Valium and Xanax.
According to a longtime friend of Whitney’s Grammy-winning gospel singer mother, “Cissy [Houston] absolutely could not stop screaming for about half an hour, after getting the news” of her daughter’s untimely death.
“For God’s sakes, she had only spoken to her about a half-hour before she went into that bathroom. … There was NOTHING that indicated Whitney was high or doing anything wrong. … They had a totally normal conversation about the Grammys, Clive [Davis’ pre-Grammy] party that night, what she was going to wear. Just normal, mother-daughter, casual chit-chat stuff.
“That’s what made the shock so much more intense for Cissy. I was afraid she was going to have a heart attack herself.”
According to other sources who spoke with Houston’s godmother, Aretha Franklin, and her cousin, Dionne Warwick (who also spoke to Houston earlier in the day), their reactions mirrored Cissy Houston’s.
“Both of them were so choked up. It was just heartbreaking,” said a longtime Franklin associate, who also is close to Warwick.
While Clive Davis did decide to proceed with his legendary party — always held the night before the Grammys — the famed music producing guru “was in a total daze the entire evening,” said a witness to the proceedings. “He barely could get through his remarks about Whitney. … He loved her like a daughter and had worked so hard these past few years to get her back on track and to remain clean and sober.”
A number of positive career moves had given reason for hope of a Houston comeback. She recently completed filming a role as the mother of “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks in a remake of “Sparkle,” a film loosely based on the Supremes. She also had been working hard to complete a new album, and there were reports that Simon Cowell had put out feelers to see if Houston would be interested in becoming a celebrity judge on his remade musical competition, “The X Factor.”
Another guest at the Davis party Saturday, who asked not to be identified due to his close professional relationship with Davis, also said, “More than a few people … actually, a lot of people at the party were whispering about Bobby Brown — many blaming him for contributing to Whitney’s downfall.”
Houston’s ex-husband and his own well-known problems with drugs long have been the focus of reports linking him to his wife-of-15-years’ troubled life.
For those who had been around Houston the past few days, it seemed obvious she was not avoiding alcohol. “She reeked of it Thursday night,” said a guest at the pre-Grammy event where Houston performed an impromptu duet with Kelly Price at the R&B singer’s own pre-Grammy celebration.
Together they united on “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” — something a Price pal said is helping sustain her now. “Kelly said, ‘I know that Whitney is in Jesus’ arms and he will finally give her that peace she has searched for — for so long.’”

She also was on
Clonazepam is used alone or in combination with other medications to control certain types of seizures. It is also used to relieve panic attacks (sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry about these attacks). Clonazepam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
It's the individual's responsibility to educate themselves. I'm on xanex and some days don't even take it. There would be no reason to be on more than one anxiety med at least on an ongoing basis. I think most of us who function on some of these things reached a level of maturity with them. It's not like they're wrong but if you don't use your head and let them dictate your entire being or consciousness, you have potentially fatal decisions. Like if you're going to have to drive, don't mix alcohol on top of opiates.
