Life hasn’t been all shopping sprees on Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hill mansions for Clueless star Stacey Dash, PageSix reports.
In fact, the outlet says, her life was the complete opposite of the 1990s teen character in the film that made Dash a household name.
The actress has revealed her dark past in a new interview with Dr. Oz.
“I was taking 18-20 pills a day,” Dash, now 54, said in the interview that aired Thursday.
Oz acknowledged, “18-20 Vicodin a day, that’s expensive,” which sparked a tearful Dash to reply: “Yeah, I lost everything.”
Hydrocodone (Vicodin) is an opioid prescription painkiller commonly prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. For those weighing over 100 pounds, the max dosage recommended by doctors is no more than two 2.5- or 5-milligram tablets every four to six hours.
