At the time of his death, Jackson was reportedly having Dr. Murray give him the propofol as a method of sleeping.
Experts have indicated that this type of drug is highly addictive and over time it will become less effective requiring higher dosages.
Additionally, propofol does not produce restful sleep which the body needs.

And I have also seen numerous experts who says propofol is not addictive like a narcotic or an illegal drug. One may become psychologically addicted to it in their minds thinking they need the propofol to rest but there is no withdrawal symptoms from the use of propofol because it quickly leaves the system with little or no side affects each time.
While it may not produce a restful sleep if the patient thinks it does then it does to them. Of all the people I have known who had propofol used for lengthy or short procedures they always have told me they were out like a light and felt they had slept like a baby through it knowing nothing at all. I have only had it one time and I simply went to sleep and never got past 99 when starting at 100 counting backward. I awoke and I didn't feel groggy at all like other anesthesia has made me where I felt it for days afterward.
Of course no human being would live when totally flushed with this dangerous amount of propofol all at once. It would kill an elephant imo. On tv they said one bottle was enough to do a 1000 quick procedures in a hospital.
IMO
