Paris Hilton has not eaten or slept since arriving at the medical ward of a Los Angeles jail and is being given psychoactive drugs, celebrity Web site TMZ.com reported Saturday, citing law enforcement sources.Nevertheless, the socialite and hotel heiress said late Saturday afternoon that she had told her attorneys not to appeal the order that sent her back to jail on Friday after a day of house arrest.
“Being in jail is by far the hardest thing I have ever done,” Hilton, 26, said in a written statement issued by her attorney, Richard Hutton. “During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to think and I believe that I am learning and growing from this experience.”
Hilton was ordered back to jail Friday after a judge overruled a sheriff’s decision to place her under house arrest for psychological problems after she had spent three days of an expected three-week term behind bars.
The 26-year-old “has been crying a lot, praying” and is “extremely withdrawn,” TMZ reported.

Hilton was visited by her psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, for more than two hours Saturday morning. She was being held in a room by herself with a glass door that is guarded at all times, the report said.
Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County sheriff, declined to comment on the report. “Anything to do with her medical stuff I can’t confirm or deny,” he said. In her statement, Hilton thanked her fans for their good wishes and said she missed her family.
