Britney Spears is taking anti-anxiety pills to combat the stress of her upcoming world tour, according to the latest report.The pop princess - who is said to be suffering panic attacks as the pressure of touring builds up - is reportedly taking a number of prescribed drugs to keep her emotions in check.
"It's scary," a source tells the National Enquirer.
"Her dad Jamie's calling all the shots for Brit - making sure qualified medical people know what they're doing, and trying to talk Brit down from one emotional meltdown after another.
"We know she's been prescribed Valium, plus the anti-anxiety pill Ativan. Mixed with Stattera for her ADHD, Topomax for migraines and Lithium for her bipolar disorder it's a wonder Brit even knows who she is any more."
For now the main concern of Britney's family is to get their daughter through the tour without a repeat performance of last year's breakdown. "There's no kidding around among her family," continues the source.
"They've all stressed this is the last chance for Brit - make Circus a big success of be ready to hang it up and retire.
"Everyone around her is dreading a repeat of the January 2008 fiasco when she fell apart in public. Her CD's doing well, so pulling off this tour without losing her head means Britney Inc. is back in biz and making money."
