Stevie Nicks: Stupid Doctor Ruined My Life For 8 Years

Fleetwood Mac’s singer Stevie Nicks hates doctors.

Or, at least, “stupid” doctors.

Stevie Nicks battled substance abuse in the 80s, and went to Betty Ford Clinic in 1986 to get over her problems. It was there she was prescribed Klonopin, a drug normally prescribed to treat seizures and panic disorders.

Said Nicks:

“That ruined my life for eight years. That was just a stupid doctor making a groupie mistake and just wanting me to come in there, tell him about all my music friends and young Hollywood, and that nearly ruined my life and nearly killed me.”

She continued:

“God knows, maybe I would have met someone, maybe I would have had a baby. That was my prime eight years. That was a big mistake. Everything else was exactly how it should have been.”

So sad. It’s always a good idea to get a second opinion on big medical decisions in your life!
