and she believed the nation&#8217;s health could be shaped through example.<\/p>\n<p>But going back to the 1950s, Nancy herself had been &#8216;dependent on prescription medications&#8217; to get her through stressful times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/04\/14\/21\/41762860-9471693-image-a-27_1618431633478.jpg\" height=\"461\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>The Triumph of Nancy Reagan, by Washington Post journalist Karen Tumulty, was published on April 13, 2021, by Simon &amp;

Tumulty writes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Her use of these drugs was serious enough to become a worry to at least two White House physicians who served under (Reagan).&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the doctors, Daniel Ruge became so &#8216;nervous and concerned about Nancy&#8217;s heavy use of medication that he warned the president that his wife had &#8216;a problem.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Richard Davis, himself a doctor, &#8216;did not dismiss the possibility that Nancy had grown addicted to medication or that (Ruge) would have taken action to put a stop to it,&#8217; the book states.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Whether this accounts for some of the fluctuations in her mood over the years, I can&#8217;t say, but I&#8217;m sure Dr. Ruge would use the best possible judgement if he felt she was taking too much in the way of diet pills or sleeping pills,&#8217; Davis said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He certainly would have given her good advice and perhaps that was the reason she didn&#8217;t care for him at all.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dr. John Hutton, who was one of Dr. Ruge&#8217;s successors, &#8216;attempted to wean her off the sleeping pill Dalmane however she had been taking so much and for so long that she had a violent reaction to withdrawal,&#8217;
